ASA offers two modes: autonomous (D) and manual (M). In Drive mode, the system automatically determines the optimal shift point based on factors such as lean angle, riding mode, throttle input and engine speed. Meanwhile, manual mode allows the rider to experience traditional foot lever shifting. Even in Drive mode, the rider can override the system and shift gears manually when needed, providing a balance of convenience and control.
