FRONT RADAR

The new front radar system, a compact 5th-generation sensor with performance enhancements, offers a range of benefits. These include improved truck detection, higher maximum speed capabilities (e.g., up to 160 km/h or more), and updated cancellation thresholds. This advanced system significantly improves safety and riding comfort, providing a smoother and more controlled riding experience.

 Key Features of the New Radar System:

  • Sport, Comfort, and Group Ride ACC - Offers five adjustable riding distances.
  • Distance Assist - provides two distance options: Short and Long
  • Provides two distance options: Short and Long.
  • Stop & Go with AMT
  • Hold (Overtake Suppression)
  • Brake Assist
  • Collision Warning
  • Distance Warning

The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a result of a close collaboration with Bosch, a testament to our commitment to enhancing the user experience. This partnership has led to the development of a system that minimizes the need for manual adjustments, adding a group riding mode and new functions like Distance Assist, automatic start and stop with AMT, overtake surpression, brake assistant, collision warning, and distance warning.

Radar-Based Rider Assistance Systems Overview:

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a user-friendly, radar-based extension of standard cruise control. It automatically adjusts the motorcycle's speed to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, making it particularly beneficial for long highway rides and reducing rider fatigue. The cruise control speed is easily adjustable via new paddle buttons on the left-hand switch, ensuring a seamless and comfortable riding experience.

ACC Modes:

  • Sport: Quick response to changing traffic conditions.
  • Comfort: Smooth and gradual adjustments to speed changes.
  • Group Ride: Designed for riding in larger motorcycle groups, with object detection focused on the nearest object with a lateral offset.

Five Distance Settings:

  • Very Short
  • Short
  • Middle
  • Long
  • Very Long

Subfunctions:

  • Overtake Assist: Automatically accelerates when the turn signal is activated for more dynamic lane changes.
  • Cornering Speed Control: Adjusts speed during cornering based on the motorcycle's yaw rate.
  • Overtake Suppression: Prevents overtaking on prohibited lanes during active ACC control.

ACC can be cancelled or overridden at any time by:

  • Manual brake input
  • Clutch input
  • ACC switch
  • Throttle grip actuation or overclose

ACC Stop & Go

ACC Stop & Go is available on motorcycles with AMT. It automatically decelerates to a standstill when the vehicle ahead stops and restarts within 3 seconds. For stops longer than 3 seconds, the rider must manually accelerate or press the resume button.

Distance Assist (DA)

RDA helps maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front while allowing the rider to control the speed. Unlike ACC, RDA only has two distance settings (Short and Long) and can be overridden by twisting the throttle or overclosing the accelerator grip.

Overtake Suppression

The Overtake Suppression prevents overtaking on forbidden lanes when ACC is active, slowing or preventing acceleration to avoid passing vehicles on the restricted side. It can be temporarily turned off for 3 seconds by pressing the resume button or manually overriding with the throttle.

Brake Assist

The Brake Assist supports emergency braking by providing additional brake pressure if the rider's input is insufficient to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. It activates in response to a time-to-collision calculation made by the front radar sensor.

Collision Warning

This feature alerts the rider to potential collisions by applying a short double brake pulse and displaying a red "Brake!" warning on the dashboard. The system is designed to remain passive during everyday riding and only activate in critical situations.

Distance Warning

Distance Warning is a passive function that alerts the rider when the distance to the vehicle ahead falls below a safe threshold. It can be turned on or off independently of ACC and is designed to be non-intrusive, even during dynamic riding.
