KTM MACINA FOLD

The 2023 KTM MACINA FOLD is a compact and versatile e-bike that stands out in particular for its foldable design and high-quality features. Priced at 4199 EUR, it is aimed at discerning users who value quality and functionality.

The MACINA FOLD’s frame is constructed from 20" 6061 alloy and houses a Bosch PowerTube battery with a capacity of 500 Wh, which is integrated vertically. The e-bike’s total weight is 23 kg, whilst it has a maximum load capacity of up to 120 kg.

Braking power is provided by Shimano MT200 brakes with 2-piston technology, ensuring reliable and safe deceleration. Power is transmitted via a Gates Drive belt with a 22T sprocket and a Gates rear sprocket, ensuring a durable and low-maintenance drivetrain. The gears are operated by a Shimano Nexus 8 Revoshifter, which allows for precise and easy gear selection.

The fork features a lightweight 20" alloy construction which, together with the robust Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres (47-406), ensures a comfortable ride. The front wheel is fitted with a KTM Line rim and a Shimano Alivio M4050 hub, whilst the rear wheel features a Shimano Nexus 8 SG-C60018D hub. Both wheels are fitted with Ambrosio Pulse rims and DT spokes.

The B&M Lumotec EYC LED front light (50 lux) and the B&M Xeltec Mini LED rear light with parking light function ensure optimum visibility in traffic. The pedals are foldable (VP-F55), making it easier to store the bike.

The handlebars (KTM Banzai 25.4 560mm) and the stem (KTM Banzai 12° folding) are designed to provide a comfortable and ergonomic riding position. The Ergon GP1 grips without bar ends offer additional comfort. The Selle Royal Hertz saddle and the KTM Banzai seatpost (34/400) ensure a comfortable riding position.

Additional features such as SKS B53T mudguards, an adjustable KTM kickstand (20"-24"), and a KTM Racktime Banzai luggage rack (snap-it) make the MACINA FOLD a practical everyday companion.

The e-bike is powered by a Bosch PERFORMANCE Gen.3 SMART SYSTEM motor with an output of 75 Nm, which provides maximum assistance up to a speed of 25 km/h. The Bosch LED remote SMART SYSTEM display allows for easy operation and provides an overview of all key riding data. The battery is charged using the Bosch STANDARD Charger 4A SMART SYSTEM, ensuring a quick charging time.

Overall, the KTM MACINA FOLD offers a well-thought-out combination of performance, comfort and functionality, making it an excellent choice for commuters and leisure cyclists.
