BMW is Developing Active Suspension for Motorcycles | First Look

BMW has released preliminary information regarding the Dynamic Damping Control (DDC) system it is currently developing.In our recent “Class of 2011� sportbike comparison, we openly wished BMW’s S1000RR offered pushbutton electronic suspension adjustment. The German manufacturer already offers ESA on many of its large touring bikes; could it be that difficult to add a sport-specific version to what is already the most electronically advanced motorcycle on the market? Someone in Berlin must have been thinking the same thing, because BMW has released preliminary information regarding the Dynamic Damping Control (DDC) system it is currently developing. Unlike ESA, which only changes static suspension settings, the advanced DDC system will allow spring and damping rates to automatically change in real time, in direct response to vehicle-dynamic feedback.
