The heart of the Chacana, its frame, retains the classic KTM geometry, ensuring a comfortable and confident ride, no matter the terrain. And it's got this nifty thing called a POWER TUBE TOP LOADER (PTTL) which makes handling the battery easier than ever before.
The Macina Chacana LFC is a real workhorse, a robust companion that's always ready for whatever journey you dream up. It's not just a bike; it's a symbol of freedom. It's the freedom to explore, to be wild, to experience the world in a way that only those with a taste for adventure truly can.
