Algupära
KTM's Life trekking range has been a staple of the Austrian brand's city portfolio since the late 2000s, evolving alongside the commuter bike boom. The flagship Life Tour distinguishes itself with a Gates Carbon Drive belt — no chain lube, no chain stretch, 20 000+ km service life — paired with Shimano Alfine's sealed 11-speed hub. The result is a genuinely low-maintenance urban bike. Lower Life trims (Ride, Style) use conventional chain drivetrains at more accessible price points.

Verdikt
+Tugevused
- Gates Carbon Drive belt is genuinely maintenance-free for thousands of kilometres
- Shimano Alfine 11-speed internal hub handles all weathers cleanly
- Air-sprung fork adds real comfort on rough city surfaces
−Nõrkused
- Belt drive requires frame compatibility (specific dropout) — limits future frame swaps
- At 15.4 kg the Life Tour is heavy for a performance-focused commuter
- Alfine hub shifting can be slow to engage compared to modern derailleur systems
