KTM Macina Sport SX Elite US

KTM Macina Sport SX Elite - Sporty, lightweight trekking e-bike with carbon frame

With the introduction of the 2024 model range, the Austrian premium manufacturer is underpinning its claim to always be at the cutting edge of technology. All e-bike series have been redesigned or at least significantly revised. KTM now generally relies on the new Performance SX motor from Bosch. All in all, the e-bikes have become lighter, are easier to handle and appear much more agile when riding. However, the core competence of the Macina Sport remains unchanged: a versatile companion that masters all types of riding, from city to touring. There are three different frame shapes for all types of riders: 1. the classic Diamant frame, popular with men but also increasingly popular with women. 2. the sporty, comfortable trapezoid frame, in which the top tube slopes steeply downwards towards the rear and starts at about half the height of the seat tube. 3. the step-through frame (US) with a completely open step-through for maximum comfort.

The highlight of the Macina Sport SX Elite is its elegant carbon frame, which not only saves weight but also improves riding comfort. Further comfort is added by an air-sprung Suntour NCX-D Air suspension fork, which was specially developed for e-bikes. The Shimano Cues 10-speed gear system sets new standards in the upper mid-range segment. And the service-friendly hydraulic Shimano disc brakes are the epitome of carefree parts. Naturally, the Macina Sport is equipped for everyday use with a StVZO-compliant lighting system, sturdy mudguards and a sturdy pannier rack. Not forgetting the durable Schwalbe tyres.

Bosch Performance SX - The new, sporty generation of motors

Less is more! The compact Bosch Performance SX brings back the sporty, easy riding experience. With a torque of 55 Nm, the motor shows 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 assistance. 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.
