    KTMconnect

    • Welcome to KTMconnect: be more than READY TO RACE

    As the potential of GPS and Bluetooth-equipped technology progress then so do the possibilities of functional real-time data into the rider’s hands and at the flick of a handlebar switch.

    VIRTUAL GARAGE

    KTMconnect can be added to a mobile device with technical settings of iOS 14 and Android 7 (minimum). KTM riders can then explore the extent of the KTMconnect App from the ‘Virtual Garage’ home screen. Customisable with a background image of a ‘real’ garage, multiple bikes can be added and swiped and marked as ‘Favourite’. Selecting a particular KTM motorcycle will then open set-up options correlating with the model.

    Advanced KTM electronics, interconnectivity and TFT hardware and software means a widening range of orange motorcycles can make full use of KTMconnect for navigation and location purposes. Navigation is powered by the all-compassing Sygic® app solution for incredibly detailed international journey information and route guidance; no matter the time, the distance or the landscape.

    With the two NAVIGATION plans available at two different costs, KTM riders can share and export planned trips as well import information from other 3rd party Apps. Real-time Route Sharing is a handy feature for localization, or letting friends or companions see where the rider and their KTM motorcycle are currently based. The MOBILITY SERVICE supports riders and eligible bikes in the case of a problem or other issue. Based on GPS permissions riders can chart the arrival time of MOBILITY SERVICE partners for assistance.
