Expirience with the KTM PENNY LANE 272

Ludwig Döhl The 80 mm trail on the fork qualify the Racebike of KTM for on sporty excursions use. A low weight means more rideability on different terrain. If the manufacturer's indication is right, the 14,7 kg of the KTM Racebike counts towards the lighter Racebike that you get for under under 800 Euro. The lively character invites you to throw the bike around with ease. When entering the saddle, the PENNY LANE 272 conveys a balanced seating position. With the Racebike of KTM, the real fun starts at the peak of the mountain. Because in the downhill, the on sporty excursions is better than the competitors in this price range. Pay attention when selecting your size: the KTM Hardtail sizing runs small.
