KTM ULTRA RIDE 29

The "ULTRA RIDE 29" model from KTM, released in 2023, is a high-quality mountain bike available at a price of 1,129 EUR. The frame is made from a robust 29" 6061 alloy MTB construction (M-1110) and has a maximum load capacity of up to 133 kg. Weighing in at 14 kg, the bike is light enough for challenging trails yet stable enough to ensure a safe ride.

The ULTRA RIDE 29’s braking system features the reliable Shimano MT200 brakes with 2-piston technology, which deliver outstanding braking performance. The gear system is based on the SRAM SX Eagle 12-speed system, which is controlled by the SRAM SX Eagle Trigger shifter. This combination enables precise and rapid gear changes, which are particularly advantageous on rough terrain.

The Suntour XCR 32 Air LO DS fork, with 100mm of travel, offers excellent damping and contributes to a comfortable ride. The KTM Comp MTB BF pedals and the SRAM DUB BSA MTB 73 bottom bracket complement the drivetrain, which is completed by the SRAM SX Eagle 34T crankset and the SRAM PG-1210 EAGLE cassette (11-50).

The bike features KTM Comp Rizer12 handlebars and KTM Comp MTB grips, which, together with the KTM Comp 7° stem, enable ergonomic and controlled steering. The Ritchey OE Zero Logic 1.1/8" headset provides additional stability and precision.

The ULTRA RIDE 29’s wheelsets consist of KTM Line rims, fitted with Shimano HB-TX505 CL 32H hubs at the front and Shimano FH-TX505-8 CL 32H hubs at the rear. The rims measure 622x20 and are fitted with black Pillar 2.0 INOX spokes. The Maxxis Rekon Race EXO tyres (57-622) offer excellent grip and traction on a variety of surfaces.

The KTM Line Sport saddle and the KTM Comp 27.2 seatpost ensure comfort even on longer rides. The saddle is secured using a KTM Line clamp QR with a diameter of 31.8mm, which allows for easy adjustment.

Overall, the KTM ULTRA RIDE 29 offers a balanced combination of stability, comfort and performance, making it an excellent choice for ambitious mountain bikers.
