Bosch debuts integrated split screen for motorcycles

By RIZAL JOHAN | 2 December 2020


YOKOHAMA: A freely programmable split screen that displays vehicle information and app content from a smartphone is available for motorcycles thanks to Bosch’s new integrated connectivity cluster in the form of a 10.25-inch TFT display.

Additionally, the smartphone integration solution mySPIN brings the connected phone’s content to the motorcycle’s display.

The new 10.25-inch TFT display debuts this year on BMW motorcycles. The display’s new dimensions show all relevant information at one glance without distracting the rider.

Users decide on the content they wish to see on the screen, all of which can be controlled by the handlebar. The contents of a smartphone app, for example, are automatically adapted with mySPIN to show relevant information fitting the size of the motorcycle display.

The split screen continues to show key indicators such as speed and warnings.

A representative Bosch survey among 2 600 motorcycle riders found that eight out of ten riders would welcome this function.

“Our clusters in combination with mySPIN offer a new riding experience with more safety and convenience for motorcycle riders. For us, this is the next step in terms of connectivity for motorcycles”, says Geoff Liersch, President of the Two-Wheeler & Powersports unit at Bosch.
