[motorcycle.com] - KTM My Ride: Taking Motorcycle Connectivity Places
Up until recently, riding motorcycles was a way for most in which to escape cell phones and technology. Well, we can’t always fight the future, and KTM is making it easy for owners of new bikes to connect their phones directly to their bikes with their KTM My Ride App.* Begin Release: KTM’s smartphone connectivity platform, KTM MY RIDE, available on a large number of its Street range increases in functionality for 2018, with the Phone and Music functions bolstered with turn-by-turn navigation and route planning, powered by a dedicated app. Living in a connected world, KTM began introducing the possibility for users to connect their smartphones with the motorcycle in 2017.

Accompanied with the new KTM MY RIDE app (available for Android and iOS, €8.99), visual guidance is transmitted via Bluetooth to the TFT display to show the pre-planned destination.
