The new Tracer 900 2020 launched in Brazil brings electronic traction control. It is responsible for dosing the engine's torque delivery to the rear wheel and helps it detraction in sudden accelerations or when there is low grip on the ground.
There are two adjustment options in it: mode 1 prevents the wheel from slipping in any situation, while mode 2 performs a moderate control, intervening less in driving.
In addition, the system can be turned off to make riding even more exciting, ideal for those who use the Tracer in a more sporting way, even on a track day.
In the piloting modes (D-Mode), responsible for adapting the engine's responses according to the pilot's use, the new Tracer 900 GT has 3 options: B, STD and A. Where on the scale, option B is milder and option A is the most aggressive. STD is among them.

And to top it off, the Tracer 900 2020 sold in Brazil comes with the new Quick-Shift system. It is possible to change gears without using the clutch, thanks to a sensor next to the gear pedal that identifies the movement when the gears are going to be engaged.
