Safety Features in New Motorcycles: A Comprehensive Buying Guide

Sep. 23 2024 Buying Guide By Shipwreck Harley-Davidson®

Motorcycles have certainly come a long way and so has the technology that assures riders of their safety. Today, manufacturers go the extra mile to incorporate advanced features focusing on enhanced control, visibility, and accident prevention. Leading the charge are Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS) and Traction Control Systems (TCS) which offer significant control and stability to riders, especially during emergency situations!

Trusting in Technology: Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)

ABS is non-negotiable when considering new motorcycle safety features. It ensures that wheels don't lock up during sudden braking situations – a critical factor in preventing skid-induced accidents. It offers you greater control, allowing you to brake hard without worrying about losing balance.

Step into the Future: Traction Control System (TCS)

Another prominent feature of newer motorcycles is the TCS – helping riders maintain control during acceleration by preventing the rear wheel from spinning excessively. Especially handy for riding on slippery surfaces or during sudden accelerations, this starting-point technology can be understandably life-saving!

Illuminate Your Path: Advanced Lighting Systems

Visibility plays a key role in rider safety. Take LED lights for example - they are rapidly becoming standard on newer models due to their brightness and long life span - certainly something worth shining a light on.
