Advantages for the rider
The advantages of ABS Pro for
the rider are sensitive response
and high braking and directional
stability combined with best-case
deceleration of the motorcycle,
even when cornering.

management with
BMW Motorrad DTC
How does DTC work?
The BMW Motorrad DTC com-
pares the speed of rotation of the
front wheel and the rear wheel.
The differential is used to com-
pute slip as a measure of the
reserves of stability available at
the rear wheel. If slip exceeds a
certain limit, the engine control
intervenes and adapts the engine
torque accordingly.
WARNING
Risky riding.
Risk of accident despite DTC.
Invariably, it remains the rider's
responsibility to adapt riding
style to riding conditions.
Do not take risks that would
negate the additional safety
offered by this system.
What is the design
baseline for
BMW Motorrad DTC?
BMW Motorrad DTC is designed
as an assistant system for the
rider and for use on public roads.
The extent to which the rider af-
fects DTC control can be consid-
erable (weight shifts when cor-
nering, items of luggage loose on
the motorcycle), especially when
style of riding takes rider and ma-
chine close to the limits imposed
by physics.
The system is not optimised for
special requirements that apply
under extreme competitive situ-
ations off-road or on the track.
You have the option of deactiv-
ating the BMW Motorrad DTC
system for these circumstances.

Special situations
In accordance with the laws of
physics, the accelerating ability
is restricted more and more as
the heel angle increases. Con-
