ABS as standard. Now on all current models.*

German and European statistics speak for themselves: an anti-lock braking system (ABS) on a motorcycle is the most effective assistance system to make riding a motorbike safer. BMW Motorrad recognised this irrefutable fact very early on and introduces ABS as an option on the K-Series already in the spring of 1988.

Today the technology is fully mature, with dozens of tests and racing victories demonstrating the practical capabilities of ABS. This is why BMW Motorrad now asks the question: why wait until 2016 for the obligatory introduction of ABS? If there is a technology which makes motorcycling safer, it should be available to all riders.

For this reason, BMW Motorrad is taking action for its riders right away and will be the first manufacturer in the world to equip all its new models with ABS as standard. Here we demonstrate once again that we are the most pioneering motorcycle manufacturer - and that there is nothing of greater importance to us than the safety of our riders.

BMW Motorrad also sets technological standards with its ABS: the highly sophisticated brake system provides assistance for the rider, ensuring that the motorcycle can be intuitively controlled even when extreme braking manoeuvres are performed. This is possible due to the combination of ABS, traction control (DTC) and banking position measurement - something which is unique among all manufacturers.

BMW Motorrad is committed to ensuring the safety of its riders and is proactive in making the Ultimate Riding Machine the absolute number one when it comes to brake performance and brake response, too. After all, riding safety means riding pleasure. And with BMW Motorrad, riding pleasure comes as standard.
