KTM Macina Gravelator SX Prime

KTM Macina Gravelator SX Prime - E-Graveler with carbon frame and high-end equipment

The new, extremely light and compact Bosch Performance SX motor heralds a new era. Reason enough for the Austrian premium manufacturer KTM to redesign all its e-bike model series with the Bosch SX drive in mind. A remarkable statement in favour of sportier e-biking. All in all, the models have become lighter, are easier to handle and appear much more agile when riding. The natural riding feel familiar from normal bikes has returned. The Macina E-gravel bikes, called Gravelator, benefit from precisely this liveliness. The motor supports you when you need it. That's all athletes want. That's all athletes need. And when the assistance stops beyond 25 km/h, the Gravelator continues to pedal as smoothly as a bike without an e-drive.

As usual in this price range, the heart of the Macina Gravelator SX Prime is a high-end carbon frame. As the new SX motor and the 400 Wh CompactTube battery are smaller than previous drive units, the frame has been completely redesigned. The result is a slim silhouette that barely shows its e-bike status. But there's more: the Sram Rival AXS 12-speed drivetrain works with wireless technology, meaning that conventional shift cables are no longer required. On the other hand, the gear changes are as precise as a Swiss watch. Matching hydraulic Sram disc brakes with lightweight 160 mm discs.

Bosch Performance SX - The new, sporty generation of motors

Less is more! The compact Bosch Performance SX brings back the sporty, light riding experience. With a torque of 55 Nm, the motor has a more moderate power on the data sheet than a Performance CX, for example. In practice, however, this fact is compensated for by the lightweight construction concept. After all, less energy is required to accelerate a lightweight e-bike. To match this, Bosch has developed the CompactTube battery with a capacity of 400 watt hours. The ensemble offers smooth, almost silent support. A Range Extender battery with a further 250 Wh is optionally available for long tours, which is simply inserted into the bottle cage. The Performance SX drive is of course part of the smart system and can be connected to the eBike Flow app via Bluetooth. This opens up a wide range of tuning options and makes firmware updates child's play.
