Continental launch new Optimized Curve Braking System
Continental are a well-established automotive components company, which supply, manufacture and develop anti-lock braking systems for motorcycles.
the company has finally enhanced its Motorcycle Integral Brake (MIB) system by adding a new function – the optimised curve braking system.
This system focuses on enhancing the ability to brake safer during the course of a curve. Up until now, ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) for motorcycles are used mainly to maintain stability during straight-line braking. The Optimised Curve Braking system is an interaction between numerous sensors and high-capacity algorithms, located in a sensor-box. The ABS helps determine how much the rider leans into a curve and the sensor cluster provides signals based on roll and pitch rates, resulting in a decrease in speed and even distribution of brake pressure to both the front and the rear wheels, providing more stability to a rider.
This will be first seen in BMW S 1000 XR:
