Following the introduction of the Bosch motorcycle ABS 10 at EICMA 2015, the Kawasaki Versys-X 300 ABS will be launched globally as the world's first production model to be fitted with this system.

Furthermore, the 2018 model of the Suzuki GSX-S125 ABS will also feature the system. Although nearly 30 percent lighter and 45 percent smaller than the current ABS 9, ABS 10 still has all the high-level standard features and functions of its predecessor. This makes the system especially suitable for the small two-wheelers that are particularly popular in emerging markets.

By 2021, approximately 160 million two-wheelers will be produced annually, roughly one-third more than today. Nearly 90 percent of these will be built in China, India, and Southeast Asia.

"Bosch has designed and launched motorcycle ABS 10 with the aim of bringing this key safety technology to all vehicle classes and markets," says Geoff Liersch, head of the Bosch Two-Wheeler and Powersports business unit.
