Safety Features in New Motorcycles: An Essential Buying Guide
Motorcycling, as thrilling as it might be, is also inherently risky. But thanks to advancements in technology, newer motorcycles are equipped with advanced safety features that greatly mitigate these risks. Let's shed some light on these remarkable features.
Anti Lock Brake System (ABS)
Modern motorcycles are increasingly becoming standard with Antilock Brake Systems (ABS). This feature prevents the wheels from locking up during emergency braking, ensuring the rider retains control and reducing stopping distances.
Traction Control System
Traction control systems are another key safety feature that only comes with newer motorcycles. It controls the torque of the motorcycle to prevent loss of traction and maintain stability—notably useful when riding on slippery surfaces or during sudden acceleration.
LED Lighting
LED lighting offers two significant advantages for motorcycle safety—improved visibility and longevity. Legibility at night is critical for motorcycles, and LED headlights provide better illumination than traditional halogen lights. Furthermore, LEDs also have a longer lifespan.
Advanced Motorcycle Stability Electronics
Modern motorcycles also incorporate advanced stability electronics assisting riders with cornering brake control, dynamic brake support, hill-start control, and other driving situations. These intelligent systems provide an extra layer of protection particularly useful for inexperienced riders or challenging driving conditions.
