New Motorcycle Safety Features

The evolution of new motorcycles has been a remarkable journey, pivoting towards safety as much as speed and aesthetics. Newer models present advanced features uniquely engineered to keep riders safe. This guide walks through specific safety enhancements found in modern motorcycles.

Advanced Braking Systems 

Modern motorcycles utilize sophisticated braking systems. For instance, the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) prevents wheel lock-up, offering more control during an emergency stop. Today, many motorcycles also come equipped with Cornering ABS—a function that adjusts brake pressure according to the lean angle.

Traction Control Systems 

Traction Control Systems (TCS) have become almost standard in newer bikes. Working in conjunction with ABS, TCS maintains optimal traction on various road conditions by controlling engine output and detecting unusual wheel activity.

Electronic Suspension Adjustment 

This feature seamlessly adjusts the suspension according to road conditions and riding style. It ensures a smooth ride and improved stability—especially during high-speed maneuvers.

Smart Lighting

In recent years, Adaptive Headlight Technology has emerged on the scene. These smart headlights pivot based on riding angle, providing better illumination on bends—an advantage during nighttime rides.

Rider Modes

Present-day bikes can adapt to rider preferences or varying environments using preset modes. These settings adjust power output, throttle response, and other parameters—enhancing overall handling and safety.
