You might be a bit disappointed to learn it’s not called myHusky, though.
A little while back, KTM introduced the new myKTM app – a technology that enables the rider to fiddle with their SX-F's engine and suspension settings via their smartphone. Sure enough, the Austrian manufacturer’s sister company, Husqvarna recently announced that they’ll be equipping their 2021 four-stroke lineup with a similar feature. Additionally, the 2020 FC 450 Rockstar Edition will also be treated to this juicy piece of tech.
As such, myHusqvarna allows you to alter the engine’s behavior to suit your level of skill and the terrain you’ll be proceeding to tackle. Not only does this give the user ultimate control of the powerplant, it also offers the possibility of adjusting the bike’s suspension for optimal performance.
Husky’s app offers two separate modes, namely Prime and Advanced. Depending on how much adjustability is required, the rider may opt for either of the two. By selecting Prime, you will be able to play around with traction control sensitivity.
On the other hand, the Advanced mode will give you the ability to manipulate just about anything from launch and traction control, to engine braking and throttle response. Furthermore, Husqvarna’s customers may create presets and have them stored in a database for future use. This should prove to be rather handy when hitting different racetracks that demand some recalibration.
In our day and age, this software isn’t exactly what you’d call groundbreaking, but we’ll have to appreciate the fact that a growing number of firms are taking advantage of modern technological developments to make riders’ lives a little easier.
I mean, being able to tune your two-wheeler's settings remotely brings about a healthy dose of versatility that’ll ultimately enhance the overall riding experience by a considerable margin. The myHusqvarna app is compatible with both Android and iOS devices.
Recently, this software also made an appearance on KTM’s 350 EXC-F WESS Edition, as well as their SX-F lineup. At the end of the day, it only makes sense for multiple variants to adopt a feature that works wonders.
