FIRST LOOK: KTM Lycan LT 273

We’ve had a few bikes roll into the AMB office recently, ready to be tested for Issue 148 (out in April). With a dayglo paint job, it was hard to ignore the Austrian KTM Lycan LT 273. More than just a longer travel Lycan like we tested last year, the Lycan LT has reworked geometry.

The 273 is the first model in the range, and runs a 2×10 Shimano group set for easy pedalling. It has a solid parts spec from front to back, with a KS Lev dropper post, RockShox suspension, DT wheels, Schwalbe tyres and a very well finished frame. It looks like a great value all-mountain bike – or even a sweet enduro bike for racing with a few tweaks to the setup.

Our full review will be in Issue 148. You can subscribe to make sure you get it first!
