From October, ABS Pro will be available as a retrofit option for the S 1000 RR (model years 2012 to 2014).
Respective solutions for the Double R model years 2015 and 2016 are in the pipeline. The retrofittable ABS Pro of the S 1000 RR from model year 2015 will also include the “Race” riding mode.
The slip threshold and brake pressure gradient have been set at a higher level for use on roads with high friction coefficients compared to the “Rain” and “Sport” modes.
The ABS Pro function was engineered for use on public roads, where unexpected dangers can always potentially lie in waiting.
The system provides more safety when braking while cornering. Here the system prevents the wheels from blocking even when the brakes are applied quickly in a banking position; this reduces abrupt changes in steering force on shock-braking manoeuvres and stops the motorcycle from rearing up unintentionally.
ABS Pro as a retrofit option was introduced for the HP4 in October 2014. In June, ABS Pro entered series production in the S 1000 XR as optional equipment ex works. Since August, ABS Pro has been available for the R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure (optional equipment ex works or retrofit option) as well as the K 1600 GT/GTL (standard equipment).
