Honda has introduced Sensing Ride, a new advanced rider assistance system (ARAS) that will make its production debut on the recently launched 2027 Honda CRF1150L Africa Twin Adventure Sports. The system uses front and rear millimetre-wave radar to monitor surrounding traffic and provides ten rider assistance functions, including adaptive cruise control, collision warnings, blind spot monitoring and braking assistance.
Honda’s system is integrated with its Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), allowing seamless control of acceleration and gear changes. This is particularly important for its adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go, which can bring the motorcycle to a complete stop in traffic. The rider must provide input to resume moving.
