What is Motorcycle Traction Control Systems and How It's Work?


One of the most popular and effective active safety features designed for motorcycles is the MTC (motorcycle traction control).

MTC is an extended attribute of modern electronic control units designed for motorcycles. The MTC works with the help of data collected by multiple sensors installed across a motorcycle. The data is then processed by the ECU in a bid to ascertain whether the motorcycle is leaning, accelerating or braking. The MTC system with the help of the ECU cuts or reduces the power to the rear wheel. This happens whenever the rear wheel of a motorcycle loses traction. When power to the rear wheel is interrupted by the MTC with the aid of the ECU, a motorcycle regains traction. The rear wheel power delivery is interrupted by reducing the fuel delivery to the engine’s fuel-injection system.
