Expirience with the KTM CHICAGO 292

Ludwig Döhl Aabove all, the CHICAGO 292 just feels great. Anyone who has no concrete preferences when it comes to handling, can´t go wrong with the KTM Racebike. Because his handling is pleasantly balanced. When it comes to the seating position, KTM chooses the middle ground between sporty and comfortable. For friends of sending it on rowdy trails: the last argument is still the strongest, because the harmonious geometry and the grippy tires cause you to smile from top to bottom in the descent.
