What has changed   over the last 10 years

The last ten years have transformed the world of motorcycling, well beyond engine performance.

From the dashboard to connected equipment, technology has made its way into every aspect of the rider's experience.

Here is an overview of the innovations redefining two-wheeled riding.

Screens that say a lot

Dashboards

Analog dashboards have gradually given way to color TFT screens connected via Bluetooth.

They enable the display of GPS maps, incoming calls, or performance data. Some models offer a fully synchronized interface with the manufacturer's app, making the motorcycle as connected as a smartphone.
