Expirience with the KTM CHICAGO 271

Ludwig Döhl If you like a lively bike, you should take the Racebike of KTM into consideration. 435 mm short chainstays and a moderate reach make the handling pleasantly playful. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. The price / performance of the Racebike doesn't knock me off my feet. Nevertheless, the KTM Racebike is a very nice bike. The easy rolling tires, the 536 wide range of gears and the lock-out capacity of the suspension underline the sporty ambitions in the uphill.
