Ludwig Döhl With the SCARP 294 there are plenty of reasons to race in marathon or cross country races. When it comes down to handling, KTM does not compromise. With its balanced handling style, the KTM SCARP 294 is ready for the majority of singletrails. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the Racebike of KTM has a sporty seating position.
