With the E-MTBs themselves, KTM covers many areas of application with a large variety of models. In addition to high-end E-MTBs, there are also cheaper models for beginners. The top models are each equipped with the Powertube battery with 750Wh and thus have a massive range. The entry-level models, on the other hand, are weaker with the 625WH battery and have retained the conventional frame design with the battery that can be removed from below. KTM therefore offers E-MTBs with the new 750Wh battery for the following areas of use:

Casual: Allround – or everything and everywhere. To work, to go shopping, a leisurely trekking tour or something sportier in the mountains: everything is possible with these E-MTBs. The focus is on comfort, even if the bikes themselves can be used for sporting purposes.

Tour/Marathon: The right thing for sporty, ambitious riders who don't need it extremely downhill. These E-MTBs are nevertheless an interface to the all-mountain bikes, but they are also not lacking in space in the casual segment.

KTM bikes 2022: All Mountain E-MTBs

The E-MTBs in the all-mountain category are absolutely downhill-ready with their 160mm spring travel and don’t shy away from rough enduro trails. The steering angle of 65 degrees complements this characteristic very well. Thanks to the longer reach, you sit more stretched out than with the E-Enduros from KTM.

The E-MTB top model: Macina Prowler Exonic

Everything about this bike is classy: The snappy Shimano XTR brake system, Fox Factory suspension elements, lightweight HXC 1501 carbon wheels from DT Swiss. KTM relies on carbon overall to keep the weight low and still keep the stability high. In addition, the SRAM XX Eagle drive rounds off the overall package and leaves nothing to be desired. Incidentally, the rear derailleur works electronically, just like the dropper post. With the appropriate mechanical components, however, a few grams could have been saved. The bright but harmonious color concept is also nice to look at. But such a dream bike has its price: 10.399 euros are due to purchase this E-MTB.

Below we have summarized all Macina Prowler models 2022 with the new frame design and battery that can be removed from the top. The most important data can be found in the following table.

Our advice: The main difference between the E-Enduros and E-Allmountains is the different suspension travel. Both the enduro bikes and the all-mountain models are available in different configurations that are very similar. The geometry is also similar and with a steering angle of 65,3 degrees, the E-Allmountains are designed with a focus on descents anyway. With the all-mountain models from KTM-Bikes 2022 you are well equipped for use on most (enduro) trails. For active riders, for example, the 180 and 170mm suspension travel of the e-enduros can be too much.
