KTM’s forthcoming Prowler 29er looks so damn right

not my world of mtb biking.
7 k: bit of a Dubai bike?

150 mm travel
29er
plastic frame
1×12

Never saw a KTM mountainbike on a trail so. But suspension know how from KTM motorbikes should help to get a great mountain bike designed?
Hope so.

KTM motorcycles licence the KTM name, they are not the same company

@thepodge-bloke:
thanks.

searched a bit in google. Yes, you are right – there was 1997 an agreement with KTM AG. KTM AG are the guys with the motorcycles.
KTM Fahrrad GmbH for bikes. They are allowed to use the brand name and logo.
Mmmhhh

This is wrong so.
No KTM motorcycles suspension know how for the 7 k plastic wonder sled.
😥
strange world

You’re aware they have been making MTB for a decade or more? Have a factory race team and many quick guys have ridden and done well on their bikes?

It’s not like they got out of bed last week and decided to knock up a bicycle.

It seems to have Fox bouncy bits along with XX1 pedally bits, so may be a decent bike?

o.k.. Agree.

Tend always to make some jokes when talking about 7 k wonder sleds…

The Alps should be there for them as test ground. With or without

There’s not shortage of 7k bikes about these days, I assume they only exist to make the mid-range versions seem affordable and give the brand value.

My only surprise is it’s not an e-bike.

KTM: guess you get from the KTM AG / motorcycle guys a perfect, brand new motorcycle for 6 k?

If 7 k burn in the pocket: still 1 k left for a great hardtail mountain bike…

looks like a session enduro

The ZMs are trying to screw us…

Anyone else feel like he’s got some sort of weird agenda going on here ?

yeah, it’s a little weird all the discuss posts etc. Tom’s comment makes me wonder if somebody has a new login

Six words placed in the correct order makes me think it’s not a new login.

KTM have been making push bikes since 1964, and mountain bikes for well over 20 years since the early 90’s.

They’re two separate companies.

On the price thing, granted it’s expensive, but no doubt there’ll be lesser specc’d versions soon based on the same frame, much like a lot of the range.

And what’s going on with the second shock/rocker link and second frame triangle that’s clearly been photoshopped in to the main bike image?! Very strange ….

That is a reflection I think

agree. The bike is in a plastic box. Pictures were made from outside this box.
Reflection.

Lots of Quoting
English (supposedly) not first language
Grammar/formatting just enough to make sense
Emojis
Definitive statements
Repeated use of the same words/tongue in cheek terms, bloke, sled, plastic bike etc
Posts ONLY in the bike forum, never chat.

It’s almost too similar, like he’s not even trying to be subtle about it…

You mean the promotional display material behind the actual bike as a backing on the clear box? 🙄

It’s also closer to £6k all in as well
