The Bavarian firm has introduced a major new feature across its full motorcycle range: since the beginning of the year, all BMW Motorrad motorcycles come standard with the ABS anti-lock braking system from BMW. In this way, they become the first manufacturer in the world to adopt this initiative, getting ahead of the European regulation that will require this safety device on all models from 2016 onwards.
BMW has always been at the forefront of safety and innovation in its motorcycles, one of the aspects for which the German firm stands out most. Thus, since 1993, it began fitting ABS to its models as optional equipment, among other technological solutions, with the aim of increasing rider assistance on the road, and it was a true innovation in motorcycles of the 1990s.
Now, BMW Motorrad fits ABS as standard on all its models, including, of course, the C 600 Sport and C 650 GT. This safety device ensures greater control of the motorcycle during extreme or emergency braking, especially on slippery or wet surfaces.
Thus, BMW becomes the first brand in the sector to adopt the latest regulation approved by the European Parliament, which will require all motorcycle manufacturers to include ABS on their models over 125cc from 2016.
In addition to ABS, BMW Motorrad models incorporate other active and passive safety systems, such as the DTC (Dynamic Traction Control) traction control, the RDC or tyre pressure control, and the DDC, dynamic suspension control. You can find more information about these in the BMW website, in the Safety 360º section.
