KTM MACINA KAPOHO 8973 Electric Mountain Bike – 800Wh Bosch CX
Take on challenging climbs, technical trails and long mountain rides with the KTM MACINA KAPOHO 8973 Electric Mountain Bike. Designed as a capable full-suspension e-MTB, the KAPOHO 8973 combines powerful Bosch electric assistance, long-travel suspension and a versatile mixed-wheel setup to give riders confidence across demanding terrain.

With its Bosch Performance Line CX motor, integrated 800Wh PowerTube battery and 160mm of suspension travel, the KTM MACINA KAPOHO 8973 is built for riders who want an electric mountain bike capable of handling both steep climbs and technical descents.

Bosch Performance Line CX Motor
The KTM MACINA KAPOHO 8973 is powered by the Bosch Performance Line CX motor, delivering up to 120Nm of torque on the 2026 specification. The powerful Bosch drive system provides responsive pedal assistance when climbing steep gradients and tackling demanding off-road terrain.

With assistance up to 25km/h, the Bosch CX motor is designed to complement your pedalling rather than replace it, making the KAPOHO 8973 an excellent choice for serious trail riding and mountain adventures.

800Wh Bosch PowerTube Battery
The integrated Bosch PowerTube 800Wh battery provides substantial energy capacity for longer rides and extended days on the trails. The battery is neatly integrated into the frame for a clean appearance while KTM's PowerTube Top Loader system is designed to make battery removal and installation easier.

Actual range will depend on factors including rider weight, terrain, elevation, riding style, weather conditions and selected assistance mode.

160mm Full-Suspension Trail Performance
The KAPOHO 8973 is built around a 160mm travel full-suspension platform, making it well suited to demanding trail riding and rougher mountain terrain. The 2026 model uses a RockShox 35 Silver TK 29-inch fork with 160mm travel and a Suntour Tri-Air 3CR rear shock.

The suspension system is designed to provide control and comfort over roots, rocks, drops and uneven sections of trail, while helping maintain traction when climbing and descending.

DiMMiX Mixed-Wheel Design
One of the defining features of the KTM MACINA KAPOHO 8973 is its DiMMiX wheel configuration. The bike combines a 29-inch front wheel with a 27.5-inch rear wheel, giving the bike a balance between front-end stability and rear-wheel traction.

This mixed-wheel setup is particularly suited to technical mountain riding, where stability, grip and manoeuvrability are important. KTM describes the KAPOHO as an all-rounder designed for both challenging climbs and exciting descents.

Shimano Deore XT 12-Speed Gearing
The 2026 KTM MACINA KAPOHO 8973 L features a Shimano Deore XT 12-speed drivetrain, providing a wide range of gears for steep climbs and varied trail conditions. The 10-51T cassette gives riders the gearing range needed when tackling significant changes in gradient.

Confident Hydraulic Disc Braking
Powerful hydraulic disc brakes provide controlled stopping performance on technical descents and steep trails. The 2026 specification combines Shimano braking components with large 203mm front and 180mm rear brake discs.
