Expirience with the KTM CHICAGO DISC 291

Ludwig Döhl If you buy the KTM Racebike, you will really feel suitably prepared for on long tours. Because that´s exactly what it was developed for. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the KTM CHICAGO DISC 291, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. We cannot emphasize enough, that, compared to the competitors in the same price segment, the CHICAGO DISC 291 has significantly better brakes.
