KTM X-Strada 10

KTM X-Strada 10 - Top-equipped gravel bike on its way to the top class

Austrian premium manufacturer KTM is an expert when it comes to off-road two-wheelers. So it was only logical that the cross specialists expanded their range a few years ago to include a new, special gravel bike line. After all, gravel biking is far more than just a trend. In principle, the gravel bike is actually the most versatile type of bike. You can ride it on almost any road, from asphalt to gravel. Even forest paths and trails are rideable, whether sporty or more enjoyable. At the start KTM is with two model series, one with aluminum frame and one with carbon frame. The aluminum models come from the X-Strada 20 with a lightweight carbon fork. In both series you will find different equipment variants for every budget.

The high-quality Shimano GRX 810 components raise the X-Strada 10 to the next level. The drive consists classically of rear derailleur and front derailleur and serves 2 x 11 gears. This is exactly what allows the fine gradations between the ratios that ambitious cyclists appreciate so much. Thus, you are in changing terrain and undulating topography always the right gear available to give your power efficiently to the rear wheel. Shimanos hydraulic disc brakes have long been synonymous with sophisticated and service-friendly brakes, always well dosed and extremely biting when it comes down to it. The equipment is completed with KTM parts, which are also characterized by smooth operation.

Sporty, comfortable frame with sensible mounting points for accessories

When developing the frame, the focus was on high all-round suitability.   The geometry is a healthy mix of sporty and comfortable, so that from daily use in urban areas to fitness training and multi-day gravel adventures, everything is possible with the X-Strada. The versatility is also evident in some details: the rear triangle and fork blades are wide enough to accommodate tires up to 48 millimeters wide. Threaded eyelets in the appropriate positions allow the mounting of accessories such as water bottles, mudguards, lighting system and luggage rack. In addition, a LowRider luggage rack can be screwed onto the fork.
