KTM KENT

The "KENT" model from KTM, released in 2021, is an urban bike that stands out for its high-quality features and well-thought-out design. The price for this model is 1,249 EUR. The frame is made from 28" 6061 URBAN T9630 alloy, which is renowned for its robustness and durability.

Braking is provided by the Shimano RT10 CL 160 system, which is fitted with 160 mm brake discs at both the front and rear. These offer reliable braking power and safety in urban traffic. The Shimano NEXUS-8 gear lever enables precise gear changes and contributes to a smooth riding experience. The rigid aluminium fork ensures direct and stable steering.

Lighting is an important safety feature, and the KENT is fitted with the Trelock BIKE-i VEO LS 233 LED front light and the Trelock DUO FLAT rear light, which ensure good visibility at night. The KTM Onroad VPE-857 EPB pedals offer a secure grip and comfort.

The bike’s drivetrain consists of a CARBON DRIVE 46 crankset, a CARBON DRIVE 22 sprocket and a CARBON DRIVE CDNB118 belt, ensuring low-maintenance and quiet power transmission. The handlebars – a Black Line Riser with a width of 630 mm – and the VELO VLG-649-1/AD2S gel grips offer comfort and control.

The stem is a Black Line with a 7° angle, and the headset is a Ritchey Zero Logic PRESS FIT OE with a height of 9.4 mm, which contributes to stability and steering precision. The tyres are Schwalbe CITIZEN K-Guard 42-622, which are renowned for their puncture resistance and durability.

The wheelset consists of a KTM Line - Shimano 36H DH3D37 CL QR / REMERX TOP DISC 36H 622x19 / RM 2.0 INOX in silver at the front and a KTM Line - Shimano 36H NEXUS-8 Disc / REMERX TOP DISC 36H 622x19 / RM 2.0 INOX in silver. This combination ensures stable and reliable performance.

The saddle, a KTM Line Urban, together with the Black Line 27.2 seatpost, offers comfort even on longer rides. The silver SKS A46R mudguards protect against splashes and dirt. The KTM centre stand for 24"-28" wheels is adjustable and provides a secure stand. The luggage rack, a KTM Racktime light (snap-it 1.0+2.0), makes it easy to carry luggage.

Overall, the 2021 KTM KENT is a well-equipped city bike that combines comfort, safety and reliability.
