Yes because

  1. No one rides KTM bikes wtf
  2. No one rides with 2 chainrings wtf it's not 2010 anymore

There are three chainrings on that bike.

That said, 2x high/low gearing is actually really common these days, especially for bikepacking. You mostly treat it like a 1x with a 38T or similar, and a ~24T baby gear that you only switch to for climbing.

I didn't even know KTM made anything except motorcycles

They make some really shitty mountain bikes for vanity reasons I guess

I wonder what's shittier/more expensive, a KTM bicycle, a Jeep bicycle, or a landrover bicycle.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

I think it's the same vanity stuff

Hey I like my 3*10 setup on my bike. Can't beat the range of it, downhill or uphill I always have enough gears.
