By taking innovation to the next level and creating the world’s best tires,we’re on that journey too. Racing, training, touring, commuting.Every hyper bike day is a new opportunity to expand your horizons. The all-new KTM 250 DUKE is not called THE THRILL CHASER for nothing.
The real stars of the show were the grips, which were super comfortable, amazingly durable, had integrated bar ends, and were designed to be rotated with wear, which is unusual for lock-on grips. As for the dropper, I fiddled with it a few times at the start but otherwise just got it out of the way so I could ride. The dropper is designed for super quick and easy bleeding, which refreshingly takes significantly less time to do in reality than it takes to watch the 18-second video on their website about it. I’ve always been a fan of Dresden-based Acto5 and their absurd CNC-machined frames.
I picked one up with my index finger and was shocked at how easily it left the ground. I also recently reviewed the Shimano 5-speed version of this e-bike, which you can find here. If you’re spending this much, you’ll want to ensure you’re buying from a reputable company with top-notch products and service. The RadRunner from Rad Power Bikes has been an industry favorite ever since it was first announced back in 2019. The company is actually on the RadRunner 2 now, but the update only made minor changes since the original was already so well designed.
The bike’s 750W motor and large capacity battery make it easy to hit the top speed of 20 mph and ride farther than your errands will require. They have higher weight capacities and more surface area for carrying all of your gear. The small 158 Wh battery only offers around miles (approximately km) of range, but is also conveniently small enough to easily keep a spare battery in a cargo pocket or even a small purse. It’s a throttle-enabled Class 2 folding electric bike with 20″ wheels, a max speed of 20 mph (32 km/h) and a motor rated for hyper bike 300W continuous and 720W peak. With the pivot point inline with the chain I didn’t NEED the lockout at the rear, while it might have saved a watt or two up hills the difference was negligible and probably balanced against the increased off-road climbing performance with the shock active. Through riding it every which way on everything, a bike that I initially found intimidatingly over-specced for my riding became a simple, easy to maintain, solid and enjoyable platform that has proved an invaluable addition to the bikes I already owned.
I received the Sagma Lite version of their saddle without suspension, which was pretty comfortable. It was more padded than anything I’ve ridden for a long time and quite a bit shorter, as I’ve been riding mostly road-derived saddles forever, and I expect the Sagma Lite to be a little more enduro-focused. Large upright handle bars that put the riders in an upright comfortable ridding position. Great for casual rides around town, this classic cruiser is equipped with a simple pedal backwards coaster brake and full wrap fenders. The large padded spring saddle and multi-surface balloon tires provide a smooth and comfortable riding experience.
This is not a guarantee that 75% of the product functions, it is simply an estimate based on previous experience with this type of inventory. I showed you plenty of awesome e-bikes that didn’t cost most of a paycheck. There’s a reason why Porsche bought this e-bike company – it’s simply one of the best.
