Parking Your Motorcycle - BMW R nineT 2020 Rider's Manual

90 RIDING
Use on public roads
ABS Pro and Dynamic Brake
Control help make the motor-
cycle even safer for riding on
public roads. When the brakes
are applied because of an un-
foreseen hazard when the mo-
torcycle is banked for corner-
ing, within the physical lim-
its that apply to motorcycling
the ABS Pro system prevents
the wheels from locking and
skidding away. In panic brak-
ing, Dynamic Brake Control in-
creases the braking effect and
intervenes if the throttle grip is
accidentally turned during brak-
ing.
ABS Pro was not
developed to enhance
individual braking performance
with the motorcycle banked
into corners.
