RTLSC (Race Tuned Linear Stability Control)
Straight line ABS system
The ABS has electronic sensors that detects the
wheel locking before it happens. Therefore, when
you apply brakes, ABS comes into action and alters
the braking pressure to prevent the wheel locking.
This process helps in maximising the braking
performance of your bike.
Traction control system
A traction control system (TC / TCS) is designed to
prevent loss of traction (i.e., wheelspin) in the rear
wheel especially in low friction surfaces. It controls
the engine torque and ensure optimal driving force
on the road. It prevents the rear wheel from spinning
during hard acceleration, and counteract the front
wheel from leaving the ground.
Refer page 74 for the details of the traction control
system and its operation.
Key features of traction control system:
• Provides best acceleration without losing stability
by rear wheel longitudinal slip control.
• Reduces the risk of uncontrollable large wheelie.
• It can be turned ‘ON / OFF’ and is adapted to the
vehicle ride mode.
Cruise control system
Cruise control (CC) is a comfort function used to
control vehicle speed and helps the rider to relax
while riding on a open highway.
The rider is responsible for vehicle guidance, in
particular lane guidance, adjusting the speed and
driving style to match the traffic conditions. The rider
can intervance at any time and takeover full control of
vehicle operation.
Key features of cruise control system:
While touring or riding for long distances or cruising
on highway, riders often like to maintain a constant
speed and ride with comfort. However, changes in
the road gradient, wind and other factors can make it
difficult to constantly ride at a set speed using partial
throttle. A cruise control system eliminates this
inconvenience and makes the journey on a highway
more comfortable and enjoyable. Minimises the
riders fatigue. Rider can increase or decrease speeds
as per his convenience.
However, it’s important to understand that
cruise control is not a safety feature and hence
not a substitute for safe and responsible riding.
Refer page 26 for the details of the cruise control
system and its operation.
