Motorcycle stability control (MSC)

Improved vehicle stability and handling while braking in a corner

A tailored braking system for motorcycle specific use-cases, adjusting brake pressure on each wheel independently to maintain maximum traction on each cornering situation based on the dynamic vehicle state detected by inertial measurement unit (IMU) and wheel-speed sensors.

Counteracts critical situations that arise when drive torque suddenly drops even in curves

This function maintains the vehicle stability by controlling the engine brake when the rider downshifts aggressively or closes the throttle rapidly and therefore avoids the loss of traction and skidding.

Inertial measurement unit detects the roll angles, which results in more precise drag torque control effective in a cornering situation

Supports a possible fastest launch, which increases the fun of riding on the racetrack

If rider open the accelerator throttle fully, launch control keeps the engine RPM at the best torque map point of acceleration.

During driving off, the function prevents the vehicle from big slip.

Optimized brake performance according to road slope situation

Slope-dependent control detects the danger of wheel’s lift-up on downhill and adjusts the brake pressure to keep the rear wheel on the road. Also, when riding on uphill, this function provides the optimized brake control to shorten braking distance.

Allows and controls a certain rear-wheel slide during hard braking in racetrack situations

By utilizing the side-slip information from inertial measurement unit, rear-wheel slide control can prevent an oversteering rear wheel and to control the slide as well.

This function allows a more efficient rear brake usage especially on racetracks.

Easier handling of large and heavy motorcycles in any standhill situation

Vehicle hold control automatically holds the brakes up to 5 minutes. The ABS unit estimates necessary brake pressure and holds the motorcycle safely in place.

Optimized brake force distribution through electronic combined brake system for further riding safety, even in curves

If the rider only applies the front brake, electronic combined brake system additionally applies the rear brake, and vice versa.

Measuring the rider’s brake input and other parameters such as the speed, the system calculates the optimal brake force distribution in every braking situation including in curves.
