From a technical point of view, a slip angle (drift angle) is set by limiting the brake pressure at the rear wheel by the ABS Pro system and by controlling the rear wheel slip by the engine drag torque control (MSR).
Due to their position on the vehicle and the application of force via the handlebars, the rider has a considerable influence on the drift behaviour during braking. Brake Slide Assist provides support to the rider for this partially unstable driving condition of drifting and is only active in ABS Pro setting “2”, as well as in Race riding mode.
