What is anti wheelie control?
What is anti wheelie control?
Just like traction control, the anti wheelie system compares the turning speed of both wheels. It detects when the front tyre is slowing down while the engine is accelerating. Thanks to the suspension sensor, the ECU is able to detect if the front wheel is raised or not.
Does 2014 BMW S1000RR have wheelie control?
Wheelie Control – In Rain and Sport modes, lean angle sensors and the ABS sensors can tell the ECU that the front wheel is in the air (it slows down relative to the rear wheel and the brakes are not applied). The rider can turn off the DTC as wells as the ABS at any time.
Does wheelie increase speed?
No, doing a wheelie does not make you go faster. You have to back off the throttle or you end up flipping over backwards. The fastest way to accelerate on a motorcycle is for the rider’s weight to be as far forward and low as possible and put in enough power to just keep the front wheel kissing the road.
Do MotoGP riders use traction control?
MotoGP traction control has all-but-eradicated the brutal on-throttle highsides of the 500cc era, thus improving safety while allowing riders to tease the very limits of their tyres, for longer. The aim of modern MotoGP ‘TC’ (programmed by teams via the unified electronics) is therefore not to stop wheelspin entirely.
What is Aprilia ASC?
Aprilia’s chassis choices are at the sporty end of the spectrum. It’s relatively short, quick steering and not pillion-friendly. The big news is the Öhlins semi-active suspension (ASC). You could argue this is the most sophisticated suspension currently fitted to a mass-produced bike.
Is a BMW S1000RR a good starter bike?
Here’s why the BMW S1000RR would be a great choice for your first motorcycle. It’s extraordinarily fast. Riding the S1000RR back-to-back with the Aprilia RSV4 — which just bested it in SBK two seasons running — it was the BMW that was pulling away with ease stoplight-to-stoplight and out on mountain roads too.
