Traction control...

[Shifu]

Shifu that's not necessarily correct. From what I remember, the new kwaka ZX10 uses traction control without wheel sensors, it manages wheel spin by detecting spikes in engine revs. It is much more than just a power down setting. As always, there is more than one way to skin a cat. That doesn't mean all the after market ones will work, but it is possible.

I take your point man, however as a mechanical engineer I doubt very much the reliability of the system that uses anything but the wheels speed comparison to determine if the rear wheel is spinning. Of course I agree that the engine revs will spike as soon as the rear will loose the traction but I doubt whether this method is as reliable. Without doubt it is cheaper and that probably justifies it's use for marketing bamboozle if nothing else, but personally I would not consider it technically speaking a real traction control. There is no more reliable method of detecting the wheel spin than comarison between the front and the rear. Wouldn't you agree?
