Are you fed up of flipping over your handlebars every time you hit a descent? Or do you just have a terrible habit of ham-fistedly grabbing your brake lever in the rain? If so, the BluBrake ABS (anti-lock braking system) may be the solution you’ve been looking for all along.
BluBrake has been in development at Milan Polytechnic since 2013, and now with the backing of Pinarello, the Italian start up is hoping to launch the system in early 2017.

BluBrake is controlled by a series of “invisible technologies” — “high resolution wheel speed sensors, bike frame accelerometers and gyroscopes, control and cognitive electronic platform and haptic and electro-hydraulic actuators.” — all of which are integrated into a frame and feedback a flood of data to the central, “artificial-intelligence” system.
The BluBrake also takes into account the conditions in which you are riding. There’s no “cognitive electronic platform” magic happening here though — weather conditions and riding style (you can choose from tourism, racing and custom) are entered via a handlebar mounted control interface.
