I've never seen before how effective traction control would or could be on a bike until I came across this video. Quite impressive. :o

Click on this and be amazed!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf7k0iKLuXE)

It's one of the safety features that may push me to the new model

I have never got mine to cut in yet, despite a few ham-fisted attempts to see how it works. The grip from bike tyres these days is outstanding. In all my experience on previous bikes, including racing, I have only ever had the rear slide unexpectedly once. That was on black ice, and I was riding so carefully that it was easily saved.

I love the fact that it is there as a safety net though. Even though I never expect to use it, I would happily pay an extra £1,000 for it to be fitted on any new bike.

Martin.
