If you were of the
opinion that super cool, sci-fi motorbikes were made for movies only, you are
wrong. BMW has unveiled a new futuristic motorbike that looks like it was
custom made for Tron and Batman.
The Motorrad Vision Next
100 from the legendary motor company is the idea of the not so distant future,
with ‘self-balancing’ feature, making the bike never crash. The frame,
according to the makers is flexible, so it can change shape whenever a turn is made.
Along with the
motorcycle, there is also the riding suit, which can keep the rider cooled or
heated as required.
The coolest feature,
however, is that this motorcycle of the future doesn’t requires you to wear a
helmet. “With the BMW Motor-rad VISION NEXT 100, rider and motorcycle are
engaged in a direct exchange. This takes place via the visor, a pair of data
glasses comprising the entire field of view with an added wind protection
function. The visor enables the motorcycle to stay fully up to date on the
route and to project situationally relevant data directly into the rider’s
field of view. If the rider looks straight ahead, no data is displayed, so as
not to impinge on the riding experience. Only when action is required – for
instance in case of hazards – or if the rider requests information, does the
visor become active. In this case, the symbol of the digital companion appears
in the lower third of the glasses: an upturned triangle forming two horizontal
lines.”
