How it compares

At 130–140 mm, fork travel is 20 mm shorter than the median of the “e-MTB for trail and touring” category (150 mm, 101 bikes). On travel, it slots in between the KTM Macina Team and the KTM Macina Lycan in the KTM range. The frame is made of carbon.

At a minimum of 24.0 kg (Master build), the KTM Macina Chacana is heavier than its category median of 23.4 kg – 0.6 kg more. There are 7.6 kg between the lightest and the heaviest build. Depending on the build, fork and shock come from FOX, RockShox and SR Suntour. In total, 4 different forks are used, from the RockShox PSYLO Silver RC to the FOX 34E FLOAT. The 891 Xl Lfc build uses a coil shock (RockShox DELUXE Select Coil), so SAG is set with the spring rate rather than air pressure. It is powered by Bosch PERFORMANCE CX BDU3840 with a 720–800 Wh battery. Worth knowing for heavier riders: the maximum system weight is 134 kg – after about 32 kg of bike, that leaves around 102 kg including kit. Depending on build or size, the wheels are 27.5 / 29.

Setup notes for this spec

Air fork (RockShox PSYLO Silver RC): the air valve is on top of the left leg under a cap. Change pressure in small steps (about 5 psi (0.34 bar)) and cycle the fork a few times afterwards so the air chambers can equalise.
Rebound: turn the red FOX and RockShox adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
Coil shock (RockShox DELUXE Select Coil): SAG is determined by the spring rate. Only add enough preload to stop the spring from rattling.
Air shock (Suntour EDGE-X R): measure SAG in your riding position, ideally with a helper holding the bike. Cycle the shock a few times after every pressure change.
e-MTB: because of the extra weight, start with slightly more tyre pressure – the surcharge is already built into the table below.

Target SAG for the KTM Macina Chacana

The table converts the recommended SAG percentages into millimetres, so you can check them with the O-ring directly on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Adjust the air pressure until the value is right. If KTM specifies its own target SAG for your model, that takes priority.

140 mm fork, 57.5 mm shock stroke (891 Xl Lfc)

Riding style	Fork SAG	Shock SAG
XC / touring	17 % = 24 mm	24 % = 13.8 mm on the shock shaft
Trail	20 % = 28 mm	28 % = 16.1 mm on the shock shaft
Enduro / rough	22 % = 31 mm	30 % = 17.2 mm on the shock shaft
Bike park	20 % = 28 mm	27 % = 15.5 mm on the shock shaft

130 mm fork, 57.5 mm shock stroke (892, 892 Lfc, CX 720, CX 720 Lfc, Elite, Master, Prime L Di2)

Riding style	Fork SAG	Shock SAG
XC / touring	17 % = 22 mm	24 % = 13.8 mm on the shock shaft
Trail	20 % = 26 mm	28 % = 16.1 mm on the shock shaft
Enduro / rough	22 % = 29 mm	30 % = 17.2 mm on the shock shaft
Bike park	20 % = 26 mm	27 % = 15.5 mm on the shock shaft

How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.

Tyre pressure starting values

The values apply to 2.36″ wide tubeless tyres with a trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. With an inner tube add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi), with an insert take off about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi). Stock tyres: Maxxis Rekon 61-622 / Maxxis Rekon 61-622; Schwalbe Johnny Watts 60-584 / Schwalbe Johnny Watts 60-584; Schwalbe Johnny Watts 60-622 Reflex / Schwalbe Johnny Watts 60-622 Reflex; Schwalbe Johnny Watts Perf.

Ready-to-ride weight	Front	Rear
60 kg	1.48 bar (21 psi)	1.68 bar (24 psi)
70 kg	1.60 bar (23 psi)	1.80 bar (26 psi)
80 kg	1.72 bar (25 psi)	1.92 bar (28 psi)
90 kg	1.84 bar (27 psi)	2.04 bar (30 psi)
100 kg	1.96 bar (28 psi)	2.16 bar (31 psi)
110 kg	2.08 bar (30 psi)	2.28 bar (33 psi)
120 kg	2.20 bar (32 psi)	2.40 bar (35 psi)

Air pressure in the fork and shock

You will find a guide value for air pressure on the fork sticker (or on the shock) or in the suspension makers’ charts. Our calculator also takes riding style and rebound into account. In the end, measured SAG is what counts.

Note: no guarantee is given. Specs can vary by model year, size and country; the type plate, the manual and KTM are authoritative. The maximum pressures of fork, shock, tyres and rims always apply.
