Motorcycle Cruise Control
Cruise control is one of the most useful features for long-distance motorcycle travel. While many modern touring motorcycles include cruise control from the factory, a large number of adventure and dual-sport motorcycles do not.
Because of this, many riders look for aftermarket motorcycle cruise control systems that allow the bike to maintain a constant speed without the rider holding the throttle.
Benefits of Cruise Control on Motorcycles
-
reduces rider fatigue during long highway rides
-
maintains a constant speed
-
improves comfort during long-distance travel
-
allows the rider to relax their throttle hand
-
makes adventure touring significantly easier
Throttle Lock vs Motorcycle Cruise Control
Some riders use throttle locks as a simple way to hold the throttle position. While throttle locks can help reduce hand fatigue, they do not maintain a constant speed and require frequent adjustments depending on terrain and wind conditions.
Electronic motorcycle cruise control systems automatically adjust the throttle to maintain the selected speed. This provides a much smoother and more comfortable riding experience during long trips.
Electronic Cruise Control for Adventure Motorcycles
Adventure motorcycles such as the Yamaha Tenere 700 or Honda Africa Twin are often used for long-distance travel that combines highway riding with off-road sections.
Electronic cruise control modules allow riders to add cruise control functionality even to motorcycles that do not include it from the factory.
