KTM LIFE LITE

The 2023 KTM LIFE LITE model is a versatile and robust bicycle that stands out thanks to its high-quality components and well-thought-out features. The bike’s frame is constructed from a 28" Alloy 6061 ONROAD DISC design (model T-3540), which ensures stability and durability. The bike’s maximum load capacity is 116 kg, whilst its kerb weight is 14 kg.

Braking performance is provided by Shimano MT200 brakes with 2-piston calipers, which ensure reliable and safe deceleration. The drivetrain is a SRAM SX Eagle 12-speed system with a SRAM SX Eagle trigger shifter, enabling precise and smooth gear changes. The rigid A-PRO DISC 82016 fork contributes to the bike’s stability.

The lighting comprises a B&M Lumotec IQ Avy N plus front light with 40 lux and an AXA Juno Steady rear light, which ensure good visibility in low-light conditions. The pedals are KTM Comp Onroad SB, which ensure good power transfer.

The bottom bracket is a SRAM POWER SPLINE 108/68, whilst the crankset is a SRAM S650 Eagle 38T. The cassette is a SRAM PG-1210 EAGLE with a gear range of 11–50 teeth. The drivetrain is completed by a SRAM NX Eagle.

The handlebars are KTM Line Rizer20 with a width of 640 mm, complemented by KTM Comp Ergo Lock grips and a KTM Line stem with a 17° angle. The headset is a Ritchey OE Zero Logic 1.1/8".

The wheelsets consist of KTM Line rims combined with Shimano DH-3D37 CL hubs at the front and Shimano FH-M3050 CL hubs at the rear. The rims are 28" Casual 32H, measuring 622x19 mm, with Richman 2.0 INOX spokes in black. The tyres are Schwalbe Marathon GreenGuard TwinSkin (40-622 RT) on both the front and rear.

The saddle is a Selle Royal Essenza Moderate, mounted on a KTM Line seatpost with a diameter of 27.2 mm. The saddle is clamped in place using a KTM Line quick-release clamp with a diameter of 31.8 mm.

Other features include SKS PET A 46 R mudguards in matt black, an SKS Chainblade chain guard (42/44T), an adjustable KTM 28" kickstand and a Racktime LIGHT luggage rack with the snapit 2.0 system.

The 2023 KTM LIFE LITE model thus offers a well-thought-out combination of functionality, comfort and reliability at a price of 1299 EUR.
