Riding Mode - BMW S 1000 XR Rider's Manual

By interpreting ride height sensor
signals, Dynamic ESA detects
movements in the chassis and
suspension and responds by ad-
justing the damping valves. The
chassis and suspension will thus
be adapted to the characteristics
of the terrain.
DYNAMIC
The setting en-
ables you to set the damping
to a more sporty setup than that
ROAD
offered by , which is the
basic setting.
The setting of the chassis and
suspension and the number of
the selectable damping variants
depend on the riding mode se-
lected. The damping defined by
the riding mode can be changed
by the rider.
If the coding plug is not fitted,
the basic setting specified by the
riding mode will be set after each
mode change. If the coding plug
is fitted, the driver's adjustments
are retained for all riding modes.
