The latest ABS technology developed by Bosch, Motorcycle Stability Control, prevents lowside accidents by kicking in during cornering and will be featured on KTM's 2014 Adventure 1190R. According to Bosch:

• MSC can prevent the wheels from slipping when braking while leaning over.
• MSC minimises the righting motion of braking while leaning over.
• MSC prevents rolling over in emergency stops.
• MSC prevents rear wheel skids when accelerating while leaning over.
• MSC prevents the front wheel rising while accelerating.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how well this works in reality.
