Its not like cars where you can simply reduce the throttle (or selectively activate the brakes) when wheelspin is detected. Its gotta take lean angle into account and it has to be a much more fine-tuned and precise system to prevent crashes rather than cause more.G.Irish Wrote:Its still allowed in Moto GP.
And yet, the only motorcycle manufacturer offering it on a production motorcycle has no involvement with GP's....
I have to think its coming pretty soon though, especially with the power the 1000's are making. Apparently the Ducati 1098 already has a stub built into the ECU to add traction control later. I think I came across that in Bike or PB, I'll have to look it up.
