However, the combination of components and the design of the frame fit together perfectly. The result is a bike that is likely to appeal to a large number of moderate touring bikers: sensitive forks and a defined chassis at the rear, combined with a climbing-friendly, slightly sporty riding position. Together with the 500 Wh battery, long tours can be mastered with little effort. The narrow, under-profiled tyres are criticised. They also offer too little puncture protection for a bike in this weight class.
Conclusion The Macina Lycan is a harmonious parade tourer with a sporty touch. The Bosch CX drive fits in well.
