Expirience with the KTM SCARP MT PRIME

Ludwig Döhl With a little more suspension travel on the fork and tires with better grip, the SCARP MT PRIME is much more suitable for trails than its little brother. We really liked the jaw-dropping weight of the complete bike. With 10,9 kg, the KTM SCARP MT PRIME is a real lightweight. Thanks to a moderate 67 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Downcountry-Bike of KTM, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. For friends of sending it on rowdy trails: the last argument is still the strongest, because the harmonious geometry and the grippy tires cause you to smile from top to bottom in the descent.
