Expirience with the KTM ULTRA RIDE 29

Ludwig Döhl As a on sporty excursions, the ULTRA RIDE 29 ticks all the boxes. KTM is taking no risks when it comes to its bike handling. The moderate geometry data conveys a balanced handling. When sitting in the saddle, the posture is neither overly sporty, nor uber-comfortable. This should make the KTM Hardtail suite the taste of most bikers. If you want to hunt Strava-KOMs uphill, the KTM ULTRA RIDE 29 is probably not the right bike for you. With a total weight of 14,3 kg, the ULTRA RIDE 29 is one of the heavier Racebike that you get for under under 1500 Euro. The ULTRA RIDE 29 has still a ace up its sleeve. When it goes down the hill, the absolutely coherent geometry always makes you want to come back for more.
