Designed to study your riding style, it samples data every 2 milliseconds to process factors such as lean angle, yaw rate, throttle position and gear selection, then use this info to pre-arm cornering ABS, traction control and wheelie mitigation before a slide even begins.
Beyond ease of use and safety, you can even customize settings for the track, like dialing up the corrective protection on tight turns and letting it ride on the straightaways while you put the pedal to the metal.
The overall effect, according to Aprilia, is that the 2025 bikes have a 6% lower drag coefficient and 8% lower wheelie tendency than the 2024 models do — translating to ever-faster lap times, of course.
Everyday applications
If your eyes glazed over a bit reading that first section, I don’t blame you. For a lot of us, phrases like “yaw rate” only increase our yawn rate.
However, as I referenced at the beginning, it seems likely that the basic ingredients of this tech could eventually be carried over to bikes that are more at home on urban streets and wide-open highways than going around in circles.
