Expirience with the KTM SCARP MASTER

Ludwig Döhl With the SCARP MASTER there are plenty of reasons to race in marathon or cross country races. With lean 10,9 kg, the KTM Racebike is among the lightest bikes in this category. The trend towards more high speed stability geometries stops with KTM. Good! Because with this balanced handling model, you are equipped for all situations on the trail. The seating position is sporty. On climbs, other bikes in the under 6000 Euro present a little better performance than the Racebike of KTM. Trail lovers should nevertheless be convinced by this argument: in the downhill, the coherent geometry ensures you´ll have a wide smile in your face.
