RIDING MODE
Use of the riding modes
BMW Motorrad has developed riding sce-
narios for your vehicle from which you can
select the one matching your situation:
RAIN: Riding on roads that are slick from
rain.
ROLL: Riding on dry roads.
ROCK: Dynamic riding on dry roads.
The optimum interaction between engine
characteristics, ASC control and dynamic en-
gine brake control is provided for each of
these scenarios.
More detailed information about the riding
modes can be found in the "Technology in
detail" Chapter ( 113).
