Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) 9.1ME
36
The ABS 9.1ME system fitted to the Multistrada 950
is a safety system preventing wheel lockup while
riding with the motorcycle not leaning over. The
Multistrada 950 ABS also features a "cornering"
function that widens ABS functionality to the
conditions where the motorcycle is leaning over,
thus preventing wheel lockup and slipping as much
as possible, within the physical limits allowed by the
vehicle and by the road conditions.
The Multistrada 950 ABS implements rear wheel lift-
up control and combined braking (from front to rear)
in order to ensure not only smaller stopping distance
under braking, but also the best possible stability.
These functions are divided into 3 different levels,
each associated with a Riding Mode and are
described in the following paragraphs. ABS can be
disabled.
The Multistrada 950 ABS is provided with the Vehicle
Hold Control (VHC). The system, when activated,
keeps the vehicle at a standstill. During the restart,
the user only has to concentrate on the clutch and
acceleration control, while the VHC gradually
decreases the rear brake pressure.
