Ride-by-Wire Ride-by-wire (RBW)  eliminates direct
contact between the twist grip and
throttle butterflies and so at full throttle,
to prevent the air flow stalling. RBW
uses an ECU, sensors and actuators to
control air and fuel supply to the engine
thus achieving better fuel efficiency and
superior engine performance.
Slipper Clutch A slipper clutch prevents high revving
bikes from losing traction or shaking
when slowing down suddenly. It also
protects the gearbox when you have to
downshift more than one gear at a time,
which is normally not advised if your
motorcycle is not equipped with a
slipper clutch.
Traction control, modulates engine

torque thus allowing the back tire to
Control drive forward in a constant way. It helps
riders accelerate, brake and steer
efficiently, which in turn makes riding
safer. It is easier to ride over slippery
surfaces as it helps in maintaining
enough grip between the bike and the
road.
Fuel Injection Fuel injection technology get rids of

and performance issues in varying
terrain and altitudes, which were
common with carburettors. Its advantage
is that it is more eco-friendly and it helps
in efficient burning of fuel which
improves fuel efficiency.

Airbags On a motorcycle, the airbag lacks a firm
support surface behind it. To solve this
problem, we can employs tether straps
that anchor the airbag to the frame for
support. A motorcycle may encounter a
wide variety of crash conditions, and its
attitude may vary significantly depending
on the angle of impact. Aakash
