Bosch is introducing six new radar-based assistance systems designed to increase the safety of motorcyclists. The further development of the ACC can stop the motorcycle in a controlled manner, right up to a standstill. With a motorcycle that has an automated transmission, the new ACC Stop&Go means that the driver no longer has to use the clutch and can start up as soon as the vehicle in front moves off again, either by pressing a button or briefly operating the throttle. The GRA, an extension of the ACC, is suitable for group rides. The "Group Ride Assist” uses an algorithm to detect staggered riding in a group and automatically regulates the speed and distance to the motorcycles in front. Riding Distance Assist (RDA) helps the driver to maintain a previously set distance to the vehicle in front. The system automatically reduces the acceleration of the vehicle or applies the brakes.
Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) is triggered if the system detects a risk of collision and the rider's braking intervention is insufficient. The function actively increases the wheel brake pressure to reduce the speed of the motorcycle as quickly as possible. In the future, riders will also be able to use Rear Distance Warning (RDW) to monitor traffic behind them, with the help of a small display. Rear Collision Warning (RCW) alerts vehicles behind the motorcycle, for example by activating the hazard warning lights, if there is a risk of a rear-end collision. Four of the six new functions with front radar are to be presented in a new KTM model in November 2024 and will go into series production from 2025.
