Expirience with the KTM PROWLER MASTER

Ludwig Döhl The 160 mm fork travel helps you master the on very demanding single trails. Here, the PROWLER MASTER really plays to it´s strengths. The scales remain light for this model, which is, according to KTM, at 14,2 kg. Thus, the Enduro of KTM is one of the lighter Enduro that you get for 4999 Euro . The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. The seating position can be described neither as sporty nor as comfortable. It has a moderate character. On the downhill, however, the KTM Fully is left in the dust by its competitors. But the KTM Enduro still has an ace up its sleeve: compared to their direct competitors, KTM installed higher-quality wheels.
