How exactly does traction control on a bike work? In a car, there are wheel speed sensors, yaw sensors, abs modules, etc..., making it very simple for the computer to apply power/brakes when the car starts skidding and body roll is detected. And in some newer cars the metallic-gel in the shock absorbers can be electronically energized/de-energized to stiffen/soften the shock absorber and reduce body roll in each corner of the car, depending on where the excess body roll is detected. Are the 'traction control' systems in new bikes just abs systems? That would make more sense to me.
