How smart is your motorcycle ?
Traction control, ABS, quick-shifter, tiptronic semi-automatic transmission, tire pressure sensors, daptive headlights, and electronic suspension are some of the technology fitted on BMW motorcycles…and just when we think there is nothing more to be added, BMW surprises us with another innovation.
Dynamic Damping Control DDC, or in other words Active Suspension….the system has been around for some time and has been used on a lot of cars, but never on a motorcycle. Because the way motorcycle suspension works is a lot more complicated than a car suspension, so the innovation is not in inventing the system but is in adapting it to motorcycles.
The smart suspension will react automatically -on-the-fly- to braking, accelerating, and cornering while taking into account road surfaces and your riding style to make sure you’ve got the perfect suspension setting at all times.
The system takes its data from the bike’s ECU, ABS sensors, spring travel sensors at the forks and shock and from tilt and roll sensors. Read more
