Expirience with the KTM SCARP ELITE

KTM SCARP ELITE Review
Ludwig Döhl
With the SCARP ELITE there are plenty of reasons to race in marathon or cross country races. The handling of this bike remains balanced thanks to a moderate geometry. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. In the price range under 4500 Euro, other manufacturers tend to install higher quality shifting systems. With 13,1 kg, the KTM Racebike tends to be one of the heavier bikes on the market. One should not forget: the geometry is the heart of a mountain bike. For 3299 Euro, KTM provides more than the competitors in the same price range.

Geometry

Je steiler der Winkel des Sitzrohrs ist, desto effizienter können Sie in die Pedale treten.
