What's in it for me?
The gearshift is generally more precise and cleaner. Less intervention in the powertrain is necessary – which ultimately leads to more performance, comfort, stability and safety.
How was this realised?
The gearshift request is now implemented via a torque model and thus enables gearshifts in all operating ranges. With the torque model, it is also possible to downshift with the throttle twist grip open and the throttle valve or the torque provided is optimally adapted to the gear and rotational speed. This means that there is no unwanted acceleration. At the same time, the reaction to undesired claw hits (= incorrect, friction-locked connection of the transmission gears) was optimised and the load change damping after gear changes was improved. The gear is securely engaged and does not jump out.
Note: Only on the racetrack can the conventional shift pattern (first gear down) still be changed in a few simple steps (first gear up).
