WHAT IS TRACTION CONTROL?
Traction control systems are designed to curtail excessive rear wheel spin by modulating engine torque allowing the back tire to hook-up and drive forward in a more constant method (optimize torque delivery). A more appropriate description of the technology would be wheel spin control. The interface is designed to compensate for a variety of factors including less than optimum suspension set-up, tire degradation, road surface, and of course the action of the rider’s wrist. However, it isn’t a cure-all fix and is intended to be another tool in a rider’s arsenal. When properly set-up, traction control should help record faster, more consistent laps. As the technology evolves the TC systems are starting to include wheelie and launch control as well.

Comments : Looks like Aprilia RSV4R Factory APRC is leading the pack. I've tested on S1000RR, it give you a good feeling when approaching the corners. But APRC comes with more advance adjustable TC system. Will BMW fight back with it's new HP4?
Enjoy the reading!
