Expirience with the KTM CHICAGO 291

Ludwig Döhl When riding it as a on sporty excursions, the KTM CHICAGO 291 really comes into its own. Thanks to a moderate 69 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. For all of those who love a good incline, the moderate seating position of the on long tours should be considered pleasant. Athletes should nevertheless pay attention to this bike, because on the way to the summit, the KTM leaves the remaining Racebikes in the dust.
