BMW has recently unveiled its plans for the upcoming 2024-spec motorcycle models for the US market. While the highly anticipated reveal of entirely new models is scheduled for September 28 in Berlin, BMW enthusiasts have been treated to a sneak peek of what’s to come.
- several 2024 models to gain Intelligent Emergency Call feature.
- The new feature is set to enhance rider’s safety.
The 2024 lineup features a range of refreshed models, boasting new colors, option packages, and a groundbreaking addition, the Intelligent Emergency Call feature.
Among the motorcycles set to receive this cutting-edge technology are the R 1250 range, R 18 B and Transcontinental, S 1000 R and RR, and the CE 04. Furthermore, buyers of the F 900 R and XR will have the option to add the Intelligent Emergency Call system at an additional cost.
The highlight of this update is the introduction of the Intelligent Emergency Call system, which will now come standard on several 2024 models. This innovative feature is designed to enhance rider safety and provide a swift response in emergency situations. The system includes a prominent red “SOS” button located on the left-hand bar end, protected by a convenient flip-up cover.
In the event of an emergency, riders can simply press the “SOS” button to initiate a call to BMW Motorrad Connected Services. Once connected, riders will be in direct contact with an agent who can promptly contact the necessary emergency services if the situation requires it. The Intelligent Emergency Call feature can also automatically activate if the motorcycle detects a fall or crash through built-in sensors.
The introduction of the Intelligent Emergency Call system showcases BMW’s commitment to incorporating advanced technologies into their motorcycles to prioritize rider safety. By providing riders with a reliable and immediate means of requesting assistance in critical situations, BMW aims to enhance the overall riding experience and instill a sense of confidence and security.
