About this bicycle

The KTM Chicago is a dependable entry-level mountain bike, built to be durable and easy to handle on tarmac and forest trails alike.

Build

• Frame: 6061 aluminium alloy, which keeps the bike relatively light
• Suspension: SR Suntour fork at the front — it soaks up hits from potholes and stones and spares your hands
• Drivetrain: Shimano components (Acera series), 24 speeds (3x8), so steep climbs stay manageable
• Brakes: Shimano V-brakes (rim) — simple and cheap to maintain

Who is it for?

• Everyday riding: comfortable in the city thanks to a sporty but not overly low riding position
• Getting out of town: well suited to Sunday rides on Latvian forest trails and gravel roads
• Longevity: KTM is an Austrian brand known for tight quality control even on its cheaper models
