With the operating system, the Qualcomm chipset enables the motorcycle to manage all the aspects of the vehicle, including the ride experience, and displays everything on the TFT cluster.

The FFC6 offers five pre-set ride modes and allows the rider to customize the mode combinations based on the terrain.
