what is launch control in bikes

Launch control is an electronic aid that controls the amount of torque applied to the rear wheel under hard acceleration from a standing start, preventing the wheel from spinning and allowing the rider to achieve maximum acceleration. Launch control is available on some sport motorcycles and is activated by pressing a button on the handlebar control. The launch controller manages the torque transferred to the driving wheels based on appropriate measurements such as vehicle speed and/or acceleration. The rider can open the throttle wide open without worrying about the rear wheel spinning, as the launch control system will manage the power delivery to the rear wheel. The purpose of launch control is to help riders achieve the best possible start from a standing position, which is particularly important in racing situations where a good start can make all the difference.
