[quote=Shadowboy;223923waise ketan has invested on ABS for his R15 really does the job, does't lock the wheel yet makes a full on stop. i suggest you have a look for yourself.[/quote]

@shadowboy..

Buddy..first of all it's not the actual ABS. It's just the companies call it as ABS. Actual ABS has sensors for tyre speed and a lot many compliacted electronics. This is just a small pump sort of thing having a small piston inside which reduces the wheel lock up not completely stops them from being locked up. Therefore no more advertisement please. More over I believe no matter how much u invest in safety devices crashes n all depend on rider's riding style and presence of mind.. One can easily avoid a crash with or without such safety devices. It's just the rider that matters.

Whatever kind of ABS is available in the market currently is fine for the Indian bikes..and it pretty much works ok !! And what you are talking abt that electronic ABS is present currently only in SBKs...!!

Inder ji.. I know it works ok.. in fact it's better than ok.. I have installed it on my bike recently after a bit of research on net and of course apna own xBhp. Plenty of others using P220 have also installed it and the reviews are pretty good. I installed it from a very good friend of mine and tested in different conditions. On cement roads, cobble stones(i hope the spelling is correct) and also on wet road(while coming back from fountain after signing off Rachit and grp). It feels much more confident on such road conditions.

The proper ABS and combined ABS(currently on the blade) can also be installed on our machines but they are way too much costly therefore very rare.

Anyways.. Thanx for commenting..
