The automated shift assistant (ASA) offers an innovative technical solution to make motorcycling easier and more comfortable, thus prioritising the riding experience. Clutch operation and transmission shifting are automated without having to sacrifice the important dynamics of the shifting process.
The advantages of the automated shift assistant summarised:
- More comfort for the rider: Complete elimination of clutch operation.
- More enjoyment while riding: Dynamic and comfortable shifting actions for even more motorbike experience.
- Full freedom of choice and no intervention: Choice between manual and automated shift point selection.
- Even better thanks to innovative technology:
- More efficient acceleration.
- Automatic adaptation of the shift characteristics to the rider's dynamic preferences in automated mode "D".
- Smoother shifting actions minimise the risk of helmet contact between rider and passenger when shifting up.
- When downshifting, the optimum shifting action minimises the unsteadiness in the chassis.
- More safety: Possible stalling of the engine due to unfavourable shifting actions is prevented, while at the same time riding stability is significantly increased thanks to harmonious transitions when changing gear.
- More focus on the important things: Reduces the driver's workload, allowing them to concentrate on other things, such as the traffic situation.
Riding a motorbike in pairs is also more comfortable thanks to the automated shifting process. A shortened, precise shift sequence means that the shift jerk is smoother, which in turn means less force is exerted on the driver. This makes your ride less strenuous and prevents unintentional helmet contact with the passenger.
