BMW Motorrad ABS available as standard in all models worldwide.
Munich. A number of model updates will be integrated in the BMW Motorrad program for the model year 2013.
BMW Motorrad ABS available as standard in all models worldwide.
As a leading motorcycle manufacturer, BMW Motorrad has always been aware of its social responsibility in connection with motorcycling safety. In 1988 the company presented the world’s first serial production motorcycles with the antilock brake system ABS – the most effective technical safety bonus to this day. Now follows the next logical step: as of the model year 2013, BMW Motorrad will be the first manufacturer in the world to provide ABS in all models as standard. This is a proactive step, clearly pre-empting the requirement for ABS which is likely to be introduced in 2016 for all newly registered motorcycles in Europe.
The South African model range will have ABS standard on all models from the beginning of 2013 due to production prioritisation and shipping lead times.
