aftermarket tft display motorcycle manufacturer

Modern motorcycles offer oodles of technologies integral but are often offered at a very high price, at figures that the average motorcyclist would never dream of spending on a two-wheeler: some technologies, however, are now within everyone’s reach, such asTFT display with the GPS navigator integrated, and thanks to accessories CMoto soon it will be much easier to upgrade your bike with aaftermarket display.

German aftermarket manufacturer CMoto has made a whole range of TFT displays dedicated to various models of motorcyclesin order to make it easier to update the instrumentation by switching from a old analog display – or liquid crystal digital – to a new TFT display capable of providing a lot of useful information while driving. The available designs are 5designed for different types of motorcycles.

Model Corbit it is round, offers a single display and has a decidedly minimal and simple design; Street Chief is the perfect model for cruisers, while theSR1 it is equipped with two hands and a digital display placed in the center so as to offer many solutions to the sport-touring and adventure models. Model RP1 is equipped with special sensors dedicated to the track, while Revin is the model designed for road sports bikes.

All models are equipped with Bluetooth, WiFi, and GPS so as to offer the pilot the opportunity to be guided along the route, warned of any speed cameras, but at the same time also having the ability to manage the music and theweather forecast directly from the display.

CMoto is still working on the development of these displays – and in the meantime is carrying out a crowdfunding campaign – and has promised an easy installation on many models of motorcycles, making these aftermarket accessories as much as possible “Plug & Play“.

Gauge cluster design is a dying art. Speedometers and tachometers used to sit at the front of motorcycles like single-handed mechanical watches, projecting only the most pertinent information to the rider: vehicle speed, engine speed and the odometer. Then, like most analog things, digital became the preference and, for the most part, still is the preferred way to display even more information to riders like time, temperature, ride modes, traction control and any other minute pieces data the manufacturer deems necessary.

No one is saying having access to all that data is unnecessary or overbearing — quite the opposite. The more you can know about what’s going on with your bike the better, but, on a modern bike, all that information is more than an analog gauge can handle. So digital displays are a necessary evil, but their principal downside is they lack style, character and they all seem to look the same. However, it seems like the motorcycle industry is at a crossroads and the opportunity for unique, yet modern design is on its way back.

Thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal — or full-color TFT displays — are gaining popularity in the motorcycle industry. TFT is merely a more refined version of the well-known liquid crystal display (LCD), whose potential is already on display in the Lexus LFAand Audi’s Virtual Cockpit. And now, motorcycle manufacturers like Ducati are bringing that technology to the two-wheeled universe to exploit the benefits of a TFT display even further.

Ducati Monster Line Product Manager Stephano Trabusi explained, “TFT is more visible during the day, even in direct sunlight, the resolution is much higher than normal LCD so that you can have much more information on a display.” Given that the cockpit of a motorcycle doesn’t have the benefit of shade from a roof, more common digital and LCDs fall victim to severe glare. The Bosch system Ducati runs even goes one step further with a night mode that can tell if it’s night time, if you’re in a tunnel or a low light environment and flips the display background to black and the font white, so it’s easier to read.

Night vision is just the tip of the TFT iceberg, though. The complex levels of traction control and ride modes that come along with the Bosch system mean the screen has to be able to cycle through numerous menus and pages and display the traction control, engine modes and ABS settings once programmed. “Given that the bikes are so much more complex nowadays, they have more and more functions and more electronics; we need that higher resolution to display all that information.” And not only that but Trabusi justifies Ducati’s use of the display in the most modern way possible, “you always see the display when you’re riding, and it has to have a premium feel for a premium ride. Today, we are so used to our smartphones with color displays — it has become just so familiar. And to have this level of resolution and color on our bikes — it was common sense.”

Therein lies the problem with the Bosch system. Because it’s from a third party electronics and software company, and because it’s so close to a complete plug-and-play package, a handful of other manufacturers — BMW, KTM, Aprilia — use similar if not identical systems. So we wind up with cookie cutter displays no better than the uninspired digital systems they replaced. But thumbing through, pages, levels, toggling ride modes and taking calls via Bluetooth, it’s undoubtedly intuitive, but there’s an overwhelming sense that no one is exploiting the display for all it can do. It’s the same as getting an iPhone X and only using it for dim-lit selfies and tri-color wallpaper.

There’s no reason Ducati couldn’t create its own version of Audi’s Virtual Cockpit — between the maps, different gauge cluster layouts and creative displays, it would be like nothing else on two wheels. The creative potential is there, but until someone unlocks it, we’re stuck in this dull purgatory of right angles and primary colors.

Motorcyclists expect their bike’s instrument panel to deliver all the necessary information in the clearest way possible. From analog speedos and tachometers to full-color TFT displays, users should be able to access the appropriate information without being distracted from the task at hand. However, riders of different disciplines value different metrics, and Continental’s MultiViu Sports display puts the user’s preferences at the forefront.

“Selecting a motorcycle is a lifestyle decision,” admits Continental’s product manager Patric Zimmermann. “The driver of a low rider motorbike is different in many ways from a motocross biker. However, both care a lot about how information is displayed to them. Both need a display that is as good as a smartphone and shows content in accordance with their particular preferences.”

Continental technicians have also future-proofed the display with Bluetooth smartphone connectivity. Suppliers can also customize the platform with external services such as weather information or music streaming capabilities. The brand is currently developing a MultiViu unit with a touchscreen feature for an even more user-friendly experience.

As of now, the KTM 1290 Super Adventure S and 1290 Super Duke R tout Continental’s MultiViu Sports 7-inch TFT display. With the level of customization and premium performance, we wouldn’t be surprised to see more models adopt the dash in the near future.

The very first gasoline internal combustion motorcycle was the Daimler Reitwagen, built in 1885. Robert Bosch created his namesake company a year later, in 1886. Coincidence? Probably, but it makes a nice segue into the advancements that Robert Bosch GmbH, better known simply as Bosch, has made in the motorcycle industry. As the company points out, “As a leading supplier of motorcycle safety systems, Bosch has sought for years to make motorcycles first and foremost safer, but also comfortable – without diminishing riding enjoyment.” As part of this commitment, the company just released their new line of five-inch TFT displays for motorcycles – the TFT Cluster 5” and the Connectivity Cluster 5”.

These displays were designed to be used by motorcycle manufacturers as original equipment dashboards, and as such, are completely customizable. With a compact footprint, the displays can be installed in a very confined space, something the engineers at Suzuki no doubt appreciated when the TFT Cluster 5” was selected for use in the 2023 V-STROM 1050 and V-STROM 1050DE.

The Connectivity Cluster 5” differs from the TFT Cluster 5”, in that, as you might have guessed, it has connectivity capabilities. Previously, adding GPS navigation to a motorcycle not already equipped required a separate aftermarket unit or smartphone mounted to the motorcycle in conjunction with the stock dashboard display. The Connectivity Cluster 5” allows the rider to wirelessly connect their smartphone to the dashboard, bringing smartphone functionality to the display, such as GPS, music, and messaging. At the same time, important information regarding the motorcycle operation, such as warnings or speedometer readout, is retained.

Bosch claims that the compact size and customizable nature of their new displays makes them suitable not only for conventional motorcycles, but also electric motorcycles, e-scooters, and ATVs. Expect to see Bosch’s new displays as original equipment on more motorcycles, as riders demand increased functionality, legibility, and connectivity from their bikes’ instrument clusters.

Bosch has launched the world’s first fully integrated split screen for motorcycles. The 10.25-inch TFT display simultaneously displays both relevant vehicle information and riding content like navigation from smartphone apps without distracting the rider, something that used to only be available in premium cars. Additionally, the smartphone integration solution mySPIN brings the connected phone’s content to the motorcycle’s display.

Having surveyed 2,600 motorcycle riders, Bosch found 90% of riders use their smartphone to prepare or follow-up on trips and one third even puts themselves in great danger using their smartphone even while riding. Bosch has developed the smartphone integration solution mySPIN to make smartphone content safe and more comfortable.

Yokohama, Japan – A freely programmable split screen that simultaneously displays vehicle information and app content from a smartphone was once reserved exclusively for premium cars. Bosch’s new integrated connectivity cluster is making this feature available for motorcycles in the form of a 10.25-inch TFT display. Additionally, the smartphone integration solution mySPIN brings the connected phone’s content to the motorcycle’s display. A representative Bosch survey among 2 600 motorcycle riders found that eight out of ten riders would welcome this function. “Our clusters in combination with mySPIN offer a new riding experience with more safety and convenience for motorcycle riders. For us, this is the next step in terms of connectivity for motorcycles”, says Geoff Liersch, President of the Two-Wheeler & Powersports unit at Bosch.

The new 10.25-inch TFT display debuts this year on BMW motorcycles. The display’s new dimensions show all relevant information at one glance without distracting the rider. Users decide on the content they wish to see on the screen, all of which can be controlled by the handlebar. The contents of a smartphone app, for example, are automatically adapted with mySPIN to show relevant information fitting the size of the motorcycle display. The split screen continues to show key indicators such as speed and warnings.

According to the Bosch survey nearly 90 percent of riders use their smartphone to prepare or follow-up on trips. One third puts themselves in great danger using their smartphone even while riding. Bosch has developed the smartphone integration solution mySPIN to make the usage of smartphone content safe and more comfortable. Available in the powersports segment since 2018 – this includes for example so-called all-terrain vehicles or personal watercrafts – in BRP vehicles, mySPIN now will be introduced in the motorcycle segment for the first time. Ducati will introduce it together with Bosch’s also new 6.5-inch connectivity display without the split-screen option.

The rider gets access to a rich service offering via various motorcycle-specific apps. With partners such as REVER to download, track and share exciting routes with a community of like-minded riders, Genius Maps and Sygic to find the way to a nearby hotel or restaurant and Dash Radio for free premium digital radio, mySPIN offers an enhanced riding experience. The app portfolio is continuously expanded on a global basis.

As the leading supplier of motorcycle safety systems Bosch’s top priority for years is to make motorcycle riding safer, but the company also wants to offer riders to a more convenient and exciting experience. Connectivity between the rider and motorcycle and its surroundings plays a crucial role. One example is Help Connect. The digitally connected emergency call system for motorcycles enhances road safety by enabling the fast, automatic dispatch of rescue services in the event of an accident. A further proof of how Bosch is making motorized two-wheelers fit for the requirements of tomorrow’s mobility.

Eagle, CO (Nov., 16, 2017) — REVER has announced a seamless integration with BMW Motorrad Connected, making BMW the first motorcycle manufacturer to integrate the largest motorcycle community in the world directly into their product.

The BMW Motorrad Connected platform, released this September includes a bike-mounted-TFT display and mobile application. Riders using this platform now have the ability to quickly and wirelessly transfer rides recorded on their BMW directly into their REVER account with the touch of a button. From there, rides can be easily managed, reviewed and shared across social networks.

“REVER is designed to be the hub of a connected-motorcycle experience,” said Mark Roebke, CEO of REVER. “We are very excited that BMW is leading the charge in offering connected solutions that include REVER.”

About REVERThe REVER app, available for free on iOS and Android, works in conjunction with the REVER website to help riders discover the world’s best roads, create custom routes, track epic rides, compete for bragging rights, and share their riding experiences across social platforms. Since the app launched, REVER users have tracked millions of miles on motorcycle rides in over 125 countries around the world. For more information, visitREVER.co. or download the REVER mobile applications.

In general, eight out of 10 of those surveyed were in favor of integrating smartphone and instrument cluster information. To address this desire, some of BMW’s new motorcycles will come with Bosch’s 10.25-inch TFT (thin-film transistor) display with split-screen capabilities. Riders will now be provided with the information they previously had to look to the instrument cluster and their mobile device for, in one location.

The new Bosch display will utilize their smartphone integration system called mySPIN to enable content from motorcycle-centric apps like REVER to display appropriately on one half of the screen, while speed or warning indications will display on the other half.

The content being shown can be regulated by the rider with controls on the handlebar. The screen itself is TFT LCD — this technology improves image quality over the traditional LCD displays. Similar Bosch mySPIN split screens will appear on Ducati and Kawasaki motorcycles, as well, but the display sizes may be smaller.

According to Bosch, “The digitally connected emergency call system for motorcycles enhances road safety by enabling the fast, automatic dispatch of rescue services in the event of an accident.”
