ATK motorcycles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ATK is an off-road motorcycle manufacturer in Centerville, Utah, U.S.A.[1]

ATK was founded by Austrian-born engineer Horst Leitner in the 1980s. The name "ATK" comes from Leitner's 1981 patented device to eliminate chain torque for improved handling. Known later as the A-Trax, Leitner originally called the device the Anti-Tension Kettenantreib (German: chain drive).[2]
