Dreambuild KTM Revelator Alto Exonic 2023 I Shimano Dura Ace DI2 I 7 kg I New Tour de France Bike

Seit 2018 findet sich der Name ALTO in der KTM Rennrad-Palette. ALTO steht abgewandelt aus dem Italienischen/Spanischen für „hoch hinaus“ und soll damit in der Namensgebung den Einsatz als Berggämse widerspiegeln. Zusammen mit unserer bereits dritten Teilnahme an der Tour de France präsentieren wir auch die dritte Neuauflage des REVELATOR ALTO. Bei der Entwicklungsarbeit wurde auf das Feedback der Profis zurückgegriffen und die Erfahrungswerte aus den härtesten Radrennen der Welt eingearbeitet. Zudem durchlief der neue ALTO Rahmen die härteste Testphase der KTM-Geschichte. Bereits die Vorserien- Prototypen wurden in die „Hölle des Nordens“ geschickt und bekamen am Pavé von „Paris-Roubaix“ ihre Feuertaufe. Zeitgleich wurde im Windkanal an der perfekten Aerodynamik gefeilt. Die finalen Werte bestätigen sowohl die idealen Klettereigenschaften als auch den geringen Luftwiederstand des ALTOS schwarz auf weiß. Gleich auf Anhieb fuhr der französische Bergspezialist Pierre Rolland mit dem neuen ALTO Rahmen ins Bergtrikot der Dauphiné Rundfahrt. Einige Erfolgsgeschichten in diesem neuen Kapitel der KTM Fahrrad Geschichte sind bereits geschrieben und wir warten mit Spannung auf viele weitere. Die Reise der ersten Serienrahmen führt von Mattighofen, über Kopenhagen, bis auf den Champs Élysées nach Paris.
Pünktlich zur Präsentation und kurz vor dem Start der Tour de France durften wir das brandneue KTM Revelator Alto Exonic montieren.
Since 2018, the name ALTO has been part of the KTM road bike range. ALTO stands for "high up" and is intended to reflect the use as a mountain bike in the naming. Together with our third participation in the Tour de France, we are also presenting the third new edition of the REVELATOR ALTO. During the development work, we drew on feedback from the pros and incorporated the experience gained from the toughest bike races in the world. In addition, the new ALTO frame underwent the toughest testing phase in KTM history. The pre-series prototypes were already sent to the "Hell of the North" and received their baptism of fire at the pavé of "Paris-Roubaix". At the same time, the perfect aerodynamics were fine-tuned in the wind tunnel. The final values confirm both the ideal climbing characteristics and the low air resistance of the ALTOS in black and white. The French mountain specialist Pierre Rolland rode straight into the mountain jersey of the Dauphiné Tour with the new ALTO frame. Some success stories have already been written in this new chapter of KTM bike history and we eagerly await many more. The journey of the first production frames leads from Mattighofen, via Copenhagen, to the Champs Élysées in Paris.
Just in time for the presentation of the bike and shortly before the start of the Tour de France, we were allowed to mount the brand new KTM Revelator Alto Exonic.

FINALLY!! Someone who puts the assembly lube IN the seat post!!! YAY! I never understood smearing it all over the seat post only to remove most of it putting in the bike.

[@MrThearijal]

I still don't get the rear brake cable inside the frame with this fully integrated system, it stretched inside the frame when the handle spun to the right, doesn't it?

[@MrThearijal]

Does it have extra spare length inside the frame?

[@wings4max]

theoretically doesn't need to stretch around anything as it is routed through the middle... practically probably has just enough "extra" housing (1-3 cm) inside the frame...

[@MrThearijal]

@@wings4max alright, it make sense if there's extra housing inside the frame. I just used to use flat bars only..so it blew my mind 😂

[@jcsrst]

You always leave slack to accommodate for turning the headset.

[@andrewbirchall6469]

Is this bike for sale by any chance?

[@danielboke1828]

which size ????

[@rattila13]

The lever/hose install seemed a little overcomplicated. The olive is in there, trapped by the nut to make installation easier, you pull the yellow plugs out of the lever, cut the hose, press the barb, and push the hose straight in. No need to take it all apart and off the bar.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

And with a rim brake, you'd just pull a cable through. Installed and adjusted in the time it takes to cut all those hoses😉.

[@rattila13]

@@einundsiebenziger5488 I don't miss rim brakes, hydraulic disc brakes aren't difficult at all. I wasn't commenting on disc brakes anyway, I was pointing out how he was overcomplicating a specific task.

[@jcsrst]

Every mechanic has his or her own preferred method of assembly. I just think it's easier for him.

[@rattila13]

@@jcsrst I just remember the first time I dealt with this setup, and I did the same thing, but then I realized there was a much easier way.

[@victorlandon7915]

As a shop we where told by our shimano rep that it is a known issue when inserting the brake hose that the olive can become misaligned and restrict flow. I've had to redo countless brake hose installs where this has happened and even seen 3 or 4 instances where this has cracked the lever body itself at around 3nm well below spec. anything can happen

[@BICIeCOMPUTERconGabriele]

Heavy: 7kg without pedals and bottlecages. Ah, good old times 7 years ago when a Canyon Ultimate SLX weighted 6,8kg with pedals, bottlecages for half the price of these modern bikes due to mechanical groupsets and aluminium wheels.

[@andrewbirchall6469]

Completely agree. As a fan of KTM bikes I was looking forward to this new road bike coming out but to see it weighing that without pedals etc is crazy. Why are bikes getting heavier in this day and age?? It’s 2022 maybe the marketing team designed this bike🥲 the price however will be astronomical because of the dura ace 12 speed for what is essentially a gravel bike with road disc

[@senneverschooten6313]

@@andrewbirchall6469 bike of this days are more aero, and aero is more efficient then weight.

[@morganverdure6116]

For most of us.. Aero is far more important than than hundreds of grams. Grams, kilos and pounds that we can easily loose for most of us....

[@BICIeCOMPUTERconGabriele]

@@morganverdure6116 you can lose body weight as easy as you can stay more tucked to gain true and measurable aero gains... Many people with the so called aero bikes and deep section rims easily keep more than 3cm of spacers under the stem...

My friend put this bike together for his son and before I knew it he was done kzbin.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L When the son came to put it together he was surprised to see it was already done. All he had to do was take the bike to get air and be on his way. My friend did not have any major problems putting this bike together; small issue was putting one of the brakes on straight; however when the son got home he was able to fix it. The bike rides well gears move correctly; good bike for the price. Wrote review after the son took the bike. Sorry.

Das mehrfache Klicken des Drehmomentschlüssels ist eine Unsitte und falsch noch dazu.

[@roadbikechannel]

Ist jetzt aber auch nicht so das es irgendwas Beschädigen würde. Ja, es ist eine schlechte Angewohnheit das man sich da nochmal vergewissert auch wenn es nicht nötig wäre, bei dem bisschen mehr das beim zweiten mal noch ankommt darf aber auch noch lange nichts kaputt gehen. 😉
