Perhaps it will be applied to KTM’s forthcoming CF Moto 1250NK naked bike; a particularly interesting patent that illustrates an adjustable footpeg system that the simplified images show us as a system that allows the footpegs, gearbox and linkage to be moved easily and quickly to the left side.
Perhaps the system isn’t as elegant as the completely tool-free system recently seen in a BMW patent, but the CF MOTO’s design offers a greater range of movement. The footrests and gear lever control are mounted on a swiveling mounting bracket that allows the footrests to move upwards and forwards in an arc.
To adjust, simply loosen the central screw and remove the upper mounting bracket. You can then rotate the whole assembly and secure it in position by reinserting the upper fastener and tightening the lower one. The upper fastener is located in a toothed slot in the footrest assembly, allowing you to select different positions.
Apparently, the patent will therefore be used on CF MOTO’s future hyper naked bikes, but given the upcoming collaboration with KTM, one wonders if this system will also be used on some of the Austrian brand’s models.
