Revolutionary touring motorcycles expected in 2023

The world of two-wheeled vehicles is constantly evolving, with new trends and technological innovations. The year 2023 promises to be rich in surprises for road motorcycle enthusiasts, thanks to the launch of several models with unique features. Here is an overview of the main new developments to come in this sector.

The major innovations marking 2023

Various technological advancements are emerging on the road motorcycle scene in 2023. Among them are:

• The electrification of engines: More and more manufacturers are now offering 100% electric vehicles that combine performance and environmental respect.
• Connectivity: Embedded systems allow access to numerous online services, such as GPS navigation, infotainment, and intelligent driving.
• Safety: Advances in safety make motorcycles increasingly safe, particularly with increasingly sophisticated driving aids.

Focus on major advancements in engine technology

Electric engines: power and autonomy

Electric motorcycles are gradually gaining ground, offering unprecedented performance for two-wheeled vehicles. In 2023, new highly competitive models will be launched on the market.

Their autonomy: Batteries are now capable of storing more energy, allowing electric motorcycles to cover greater distances without needing to recharge.

Their performance: The power and torque of electric engines reach impressive thresholds, resulting in phenomenal accelerations and high top speeds.

Hybrid engines, an interesting alternative

In addition to 100% electric motorcycles, hybrid models - combining a petrol engine and an electric motor - also appeal to road motorcycle enthusiasts seeking innovation.

A notable versatility: Hybrid motorcycles allow the choice between different driving modes (fully electric, fully thermal, or mixed), to best adapt to traffic conditions and road status.

Fuel savings: Thanks to their electric motor, hybrid motorcycles consume less petrol and can thus represent an interesting solution for long-distance riders.

An overview of driving aids

Intelligent assistance

Road motorcycles now benefit from increasingly sophisticated driving aid systems, making riding easier and improving the safety of the rider.

Adaptive cruise control: Motorcycles equipped with this function will automatically maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, adjusting their speed in real-time.

Lane departure warning (LDW): This system detects road markings and alerts the rider with a visual or audible signal if they are about to unintentionally leave their lane.

Advanced technologies for suspension

Electronic suspensions are among the innovations expected on road motorcycles in 2023. They significantly enhance comfort and stability of the two-wheeler through precise adjustments and intelligent riding.

Adaptive suspensions: Electronic dampers can vary their firmness based on road conditions and the riding style adopted, ensuring optimal handling.

Automatic leveling: The most advanced models will also offer an automatic leveling function, taking into account the load carried to adjust the suspension settings.

High-tech equipment for comfort and information

TFT screens: information and entertainment on a single screen

TFT screens, increasingly present on road motorcycles, concentrate all the necessary information for riding and offer multimedia functions for touring.

Improved readability: TFT screens provide high resolution and display quality, which facilitates reading, especially when lighting varies.

Extensive functionalities: In addition to the classics (speed, engine RPM, range...), these screens can display data from the GPS or even allow control of music and phone calls via a Bluetooth connection.

Integrated and connected navigation systems

The road motorcycles of 2023 will also be equipped with increasingly efficient and intuitive navigation systems. Connected to the internet, they can provide real-time information about the weather, traffic, or points of interest (gas stations, restaurants...).

In summary, the year 2023 is set to be rich in innovations for road motorcycles. With electric engines, driving aids, and high-tech equipment, enthusiasts of this segment will have plenty to look forward to!
