Continental Presents 2-Channel Motorcycle ABS with Integrated Sensor Technology

Technology company Continental has developed a new generation of its compact 2-channel ABS for motorcycles. In this system (MK 100 MAB PYA), a new type of sensor is optionally integrated directly on the circuit board of the ABS. Thanks to this high integration, a separate motorcycle inertial measurement unit is no longer required. The mechanical holder for it on the motorcycle is eliminated, no wiring harness is required, and production becomes easier for the motorcycle manufacturer. In addition, integrating the sensor on the circuit board is significantly more cost-effective than a separate box, which is particularly relevant in volume models.  An ABS ensures the shortest possible braking distance during emergency braking, allowing the driver to maintain control in extreme situations. With the additional function of optimized curve braking (oCB), this also applies to emergency braking while leaned into a turn: from a certain angle of inclination, ABS with oCB controls the brakes even more sensitively to prevent the machine from pitching up in the curve and thus losing control. The prerequisite for such comprehensive safety functions are sensors, which were previously installed on the motorcycle as a separate unit. “With sensor integration on our new 2-channel ABS, we are creating
