Honda Sensing Ride.
Honda has expanded its technology repertoire, with the addition of Honda Sensing Ride to the 2027 CRF1150L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT!
The system works by using front and rear radar units which continuously monitor surrounding situations and provide assistance to enhance safety and comfort on every ride.
Riding Support functions include:
- Adaptive cruise control, which allows a set speed and a safe following distance to vehicles ahead to be maintained
- Stop & Go, which manages spacing in stop-start traffic conditions
- Group Ride Assist, adjusting the distance between each motorcycle on group rides
-Distance Assist, supporting the rider to maintain a safe following distance during manual throttle operation
- Emergency Brake Assist, applying brake assistance when there is a collision risk ahead
Attention Support functions include:
- Forward Collision Warning, displaying a warning on the instrument panel to alert the rider if a potential collision with the vehicle ahead is identified
- Brake Pulse, working alongside forward collision warning to provide more rider awareness
Awareness functions include:
- Blind Spot Information, which alerts riders to vehicles in their blind spots through a steady/flashing LED integrated into the mirrors
- Rear distance information, alerting the rider to the presence of an approaching vehicle behind through the instrument panel
- Rear collision warning, which rapidly flashes the indicators to alert the following traffic to a potential collision risk
Honda Sensing Ride has been designed with “Safety for Everyone" in mind, another development in Honda's vision to achieve zero traffic fatalities involving Honda mobility products by 2050.
