Details of the new KTM automatic transmission<\/h3>\n

KTM presented its AMT transmission at the Erzbergrodeo in Austria, where it was tested in the new 1390 Super Adventure R.\u00a0 The heart of this system is a transmission shift lock for transmissions with a centrifugal clutch, which is also used in the well-known Rekluse clutch.\u00a0 This electronic shift lock prevents the motorcycle from rolling away when parked with a gear engaged.\u00a0 Thanks to this technology, there is no need for a separate parking brake.<\/p>\n

The new AMT transmission from KTM<\/a> combines a centrifugal clutch with a shift motor that acts directly on the shift drum.\u00a0 This enables the rider to change gears at the touch of a button.\u00a0 The clutch lever is completely eliminated, although the foot shift lever can be retained as an option to allow manual shifting if required.\u00a0 This technology enables a seamless combination of automated and manual shifting.<\/p>\n

Automatic transmission in comparison<\/h3>\n

With this innovation, KTM is following in the footsteps of other manufacturers who have developed similar systems.\u00a0 Honda, for example, has already enjoyed great success with its Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) system, particularly on models such as the Africa Twin.\u00a0 BMW is also working on a similar system, the Automated Shift Assistant (ASA), which is expected from 2025.\u00a0 In contrast to these systems, however, KTM uses a single centrifugal clutch, which simplifies the system and requires fewer components.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Future availability and models<\/h3>\n

The new AMT transmission is expected to be available from model year 2025 in the 1390 Super Adventure R as well as in other models such as the Super Duke GT.\u00a0 It remains to be seen whether the transmission will be offered as standard or as an option, but there is a good chance that it will play a significant role in KTM’s future model range.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

With the introduction of the automated transmission (AMT), KTM could be taking an important step towards the future of motorcycling.\u00a0 This technology combines the advantages of a manual transmission with the comfort of an automatic and could significantly improve the riding experience for many motorcycle fans.\u00a0 The coming months and years will show how this innovation will establish itself on the market.<\/p>\n
