Some motorcycles are equipped with an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS). ABS is designed to prevent skidding and wheel lock-up when motorcyclists are stopping in straight-line, panic situations. ABS operates when maximum pressure is applied to both the front and rear brake controls. If electronic sensors detect the possibility of a wheel lock, brake hydraulic pressure is released then re-applied to maintain maximum braking effectiveness.
- Prevent skidding and wheel lock-up.
- Prevent brakes from activating if the roadway is dry.
- Apply brakes automatically.
- Warn you when your brake pad needs replacing.
