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. These features have been carefully designed to be intuitive to use and add to riding enjoyment, rather than distract from the road. KTM MY RIDE with Music and Phone comes equipped for activation on the KTM 125 DUKE, KTM 390 DUKE, KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R, KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S and KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE R models and requires an optional hardware upgrade for the KTM 790 DUKE.

KTM MY RIDE Music

With a paired Bluetooth helmet headset, this connected function allows a KTM MY RIDE-equipped bike to take control of the smartphone?s music player to listen to while riding. Using the left handlebar-mounted menu switch, the rider can toggle between tracks on a playlist or music archive and control the volume, with the information of the track displayed on the bike?s TFT screen.
