The launch of ABS Pro as a retrofit option for the BMW HP4 in October
2014 represented a consistent refinement of BMW Motorrad ABS in that it also
enabled ABS-supported braking while cornering on a supersports bike for the first time. In June 2015, ABS Pro entered
series production in the
S 1000 XR as optional
equipment ex works. As part of the “Safety 360°” strategy, BMW Motorrad is quickly expanding the availability of this safety feature
to other models.
Since August
2015 production, ABS Pro has been available for the R 1200 GS and
R 1200 GS Adventure (optional
equipment ex works or retrofit option)
as well as the
K 1600 GT/GTL (standard equipment). From October 2015, ABS Pro is now also available
as a retrofit option for the
S 1000 RR, model years 2012 to 2014. Respective solutions for the Double R model years 2015 and 2016 are in the pipeline.
The retrofittable ABS Pro of the S 1000 RR from model year 2015 will also
include the “Race” riding mode. The slip threshold and brake pressure
gradient have been set at a higher level for use on roads with high friction
coefficients compared to the “Rain” and “Sport” modes.
