KTM Chicago Classic is worth it? Less issues with a more pricey bike in general?

[Jani]

Hey,
I'd like to upgrade my bike to buy a new one. At the moment I have a budget Houser bike worth 100£ but since I have lots of issues with it I wanna invest in a new Mountain bike. After some search I found KTM's Chicago Classic which looks good. I'm wondering if you recommend this bike also I'm wondering if a bike on this 500£ price range have less issues with it than a budget bike? What are your thoughts?

Thanks for your answers in advance!

If you want it anytime soon you might be in for a shock. There are waiting lists for most new bikes do I should check and find a model that's available and go from there.

KTM colours are nice, especially from their motorbike heritage

You should have less problems with a bike costing £500 - there should be a jump in quality & reliability.

Good luck in finding a new bike & hope you have many happy hours on two wheels.
