The new gearbox could be similar to the Rekluse unit of MV Agusta
KTM has been working mainly on offering better comforts and performance for its bikes which have V-Twin engines. The 160 hp Super Adventure S has adaptive cruise control and such advanced features
What has KTM been doing?
There are new patents filed by KTM for a brand-new semi-automatic transmission system. This may be used for these models with V-Twin engines
What KTM is planning now
This will make use of a centrifugal clutch that will enable releasing the clutch lever without the motorcycle stalling when at a standstill
How will the gearbox work?
The unit could be similar to the MV Agusta SCS (Smart Clutch System) which has models featuring the Rekluse clutch. Rekluse also has clutch kits on offer for specific Harley Davidson models with this unique technology
Does it sound similar?
KTM has recently got a 25% stake in the MV Agusta brand and now takes care of the Italian marquee’s distribution and purchasing operations. Future models could get this new gearbox, according to reports
