With these advances, bosch continues to lead the development of security systems for motorcycles. Innovations in radar boschlighter and more efficient, are bringing the industry closer to safer, more comfortable driving and, above all, with the promise of saving thousands of lives each year. These technologies are expected to be available in 2025 models, reflecting the Germans’ commitment to accident prevention and driver protection.
Although this adaptive cruise control technology boschbased on radar, had already been implemented in models such as the Multistrada V4 S 2021, and other models yamaha, Triumph, bmw, Kawasaki and KTMthe new version of bosch offers significant improvements.
Now, when the vehicle in front comes to a complete stop, the KTM Equipped with the latest generation ACC and stop and start function, it stops automatically without intervention. And with the push of a button, the motorcycle resumes movement when the leading vehicle does so, allowing you to keep your hands free from the accelerator.
bosch has developed a suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) that uses second-generation front and rear radar. These systems, 30% more compact, lighter and more efficient, perform precise measurements of distance, speed and angle, and can distinguish between multiple vehicles. With six new features, bosch seeks to increase comfort and safety.
According to bosch1.2 million fatal accidents occur worldwide each year, of which 21% involve us motorcyclists. According to this data, the Germans estimate that with their new radar-based systems one in six accidents could be prevented, potentially saving some 42,000 lives.
At the Shiobara Test Ground, bosch organized a series of tests and evaluations of its new functions. Among them, the rear distance warning system, which uses radar to alert the driver when a vehicle is getting too close. A Kawasaki H2 SX The test vehicle equipped with this system displayed a warning icon on the dashboard, warning of the proximity of the vehicle.
On the other hand, the system Rear Collision Warning (RCW) issues an alert to the approaching vehicle if it detects a possible collision, using emergency lights or turn signals. This system can be a lifesaver in an emergency. Another component is the driving distance assistant, which uses the front radar to reduce the speed of the motorcycle and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front.
He Group Ride Assist (GRA), or group cruise control, allows adaptive cruise control to work effectively in groups of riders, adjusting the speed and distance from other vehicles in the staggered formation. We do not forget the new ACC with stop and start function (ACC S&G). This technology allows the vehicle to come to a complete stop and then continue with a simple confirmation from the driver.
Finally, the Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) boschdesigned to maximize braking power in critical situations, proved to be one of the most impressive aspects of the test. The system automatically increases braking pressure if the driver does not apply sufficient force, maintaining stability and safety at all times.
