EMTB Forums verdict
The Macina Kapoho is KTM's 160mm all-rounder e-fully, and for 2026 it spans an unusually wide range, from the 10,999 euro carbon Exonic Di2 down to the 4,599 euro Comp LTD. All models run KTM's DiMMiX mullet setup, a 29in front wheel paired with a 27.5in Plus rear, on a 65deg head angle and 76.5deg effective seat angle.
The 2026 line splits across two frame platforms. The headline models (Exonic, the Di2 builds, Pro LTD, Comp LTD and the 8900-series alloy bikes) use a new Dimmix CB frame with a carbon or alloy main triangle, the latest Bosch Performance Line CX motor rated up to 120Nm and an 800Wh PowerTube. The carryover Prestige, Master, Elite and 7900-series bikes keep the earlier SLL-LTE Perf. Carbon or alloy frame with the 85Nm Bosch CX Gen 4 Smart System motor and a 750Wh pack. The CB frame is also marginally longer and slacker, with 448mm chainstays versus 442mm on the SLL-LTE frame.
On value, the alloy 8973 L at 4,999 euro is notable: it carries the full 120Nm motor and 800Wh battery with a Shimano Deore XT mech, where the dearer carbon Prestige and Master sit on the older 85Nm/750Wh system. The Exonic is the flagship, with a Bosch CX-R motor, FOX Factory suspension, carbon DT Swiss wheels and a wireless FOX Transfer NEO post.
Geometry is consistent and contemporary rather than extreme, suiting riders who want one bike for long climbs and technical descents. Claimed weights run from 24.9kg for the Exonic to around 27.8kg for the heaviest alloy builds.
