KTM increases the stiffness and durability of every pedelec to reach a high safety standard. Thanks to a specially designed down tube, the battery has a very deep position in the front triangle. This gives the KTM Macina Lycan 27 a very low centre of gravity and therefore supreme handling. The 3D alloy rocker reduces weight and ensures the very best in performance. Double sealed bearings guarantee long and frictionless durability and the tapered headtube a high steering precision. A direct mount front and rear derailleur offer a very rigid connection to the mainframe of the KTM Macina Lycan 27 which results in high shifting performance. The stiffness optimised bottom bracket construction in combination with a pressfit BB lead to an unmatched acceleration. Every pedal step is transferred directly on the road. A clean lookout and protection is ensured by an integrated cable routing. Overall, the KTM Macina Lycan 27 really is an exceptional bike.

The 4.3-inch Nyon display is easy to read in all light conditions due to its ‘transreflective’ technology. Intuitive to use, it is remote-controlled from the handlebars. On the road, eBikers keep their smartphones safely and comfortably in their pockets, connected to Nyon by Bluetooth as required. nyon-playlistThe mobile phone’s music player can be remote controlled from the unit on the handlebars. Calls and messages are shown on the Nyon display. Texts can even be read on the display when the bike is stationary. When it is on the move this function is disabled for safety’s sake.

Bosch eBike Navigation: A new take on navigation

Nyon’s navigation system is specially designed for the eBike with bicycleoptimised route calculation based on the Wiki Open Street Map (OSM). The GPS with Moving Map in 2D and 3D calculates the best eBike route. An optional extra is a smart remaining range calculator. Instead of a distance in kilometres environmental conditions such as topography and cycling behaviour are taken into account and the remaining range is shown clearly and comprehensibly on a map.nyon
