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.

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.
