Motorcycle protective gear (helmet, gloves, boots, and abrasion-resistant clothing) with a high safety rating can greatly reduce injury severity in the event of a crash.
But we know riders don’t always wear all of the protective gear they own, all of the time.
Evidence shows that riders with anti-lock braking systems (ABS) are less likely to have a serious crash.
Safer vehicle purchases by other motorists are equally important. Overpowered motorcycles can make it harder for riders to control speed, traction and braking, especially on corners or in complex environments.
Beyond vehicle control and stability technologies, newer motorcycle technologies focus on the interaction between the rider and other vehicles.
