KTM Takes Its On-Bike HMI Experience to Another Level with New TFT dashboard

KTM has rolled out an all-new era of electronic architecture, highlighted by touchscreen dashboards V80 (vertical 8-inch) & H88 (horizontal 8.8 inch), new handlebar switchgear, and a new connectivity unit, taking its HMI (Human-Machine Interface) to an
entirely new level of usability.

MURRIETA, CA – October 11, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – KTM is dedicated to providing customers with the ultimate riding experience, featuring top-notch elements that enhance every aspect of motorcycling enjoyment. To achieve this, KTM has looked at the HMI to create a more immersive, intuitive riding experience while minimizing distractions.

The 1280 x 720 resolution TFT dashboard now features newly developed inductive touchscreen functionality, with bonded screen technology boasting Anti-Reflex, Anti-Fingerprint, and Anti-Glare screen coatings.

This is supported by pre-set screen options, allowing riders to choose between adaptive cruise control functions, map navigation, telemetry, favorites, or music as their core home screen – along with a reduced, bare-basics-only view.

Furthermore, the switchgear has also been completely revised and optimized. It now features a dedicated Ride Mode button, a new 5-way joystick and back button, new cruise control buttons, new A/M (automatic/manual) button for AMT models, light, and ignition switch and new paddle buttons that are customizable for models that are not fitted with AMT.
