  • ABS For Bikes

    Hi Guys, I just came across this. ABS for Bikes.




    Slamming only the front brakes for a number of runs, both, with and without the system. The unit worked wonderfully well for its size, mechanism and price. Okay, the brakes did lock up with the lever squeezed in the fist, but it surely prolonged the locking up state to a fairly distant point, as compared to what we could achieve on runs without the system installed.



    The effective braking time and distance too reduced, and that was a really pleasant surprise. The system does work, no doubt. In its own, limited way, if not like a full-fledged, electronically controlled ABS with all the techno-gimmickry of the world and an obscene sticker price, this little gadget makes a lot of sense. Bottom line, the inexpensive, compact unit, does justify being called an Anti-Lock Braking System and does prevent the wheels from locking up, up to a fairly reasonable extent

        Please don't call this "ABS". This is another of those gimmicks. A true ABS will prevent wheel lock under all conditions and at all possible braking intensity. This thing just delays lock up by taking up some pressure from the brake pump when the pressure crosses a certain limit. When that slack is taken up, wheel will lock happily!

          Abhi, I know its not a real ABS system, its a cheap copy of the real ABS, keeping in mind the cost of real ABS sytem, this one does its job at a very low price. And if its capable of stopping the wheels from skidding, its more than enough for me. Being with a Pulsar for more than 5 years, there are many narrow escapes from many accidents due to the skidding. Yes its just because of panic harsh braking, but these tactics are not always applicable to everyone at least not for me. I know many people have the same experience of mine. So I Vote For This ABS (With ur permission)

          After installation, I can feel the difference in braking, you will get more confidence and the braking has become very smoother than ever. It wont hit the bottom of the forks on harsh brakings either. So drive with a smile

          Atleast some thing is better than nothing, Any idea of the real ABS system cost? And only very few super bikes have incorporated this device to my knowledge If this cheap device can save ur precious life, defnitly nothing wrong in my selection. And am happy with that.

            Yeah, I agree Pulsar braking is kind of err, snappy! Mine is P150 Classic with KBX brakes. Those are not used now on the newer models. It was even snappier. If you are happy with slightly progressive brake feel given by the device, so be it. I only pointed out that it should not be called as ABS. Maybe semi ABS?

              OK as u wish yar. I think KBX is still supplying to BAL, even mine too KBX, but now the things are more improved the travel length, caliper functioning have improved than the earlier ones. To my experience, ZMA's disc performance is good compared to Pulsar.

                this is not ABS, it just modulates the hydraulic pressure on the brake. The question is, would a well modulated braking by a rider, or an emergency pump on this ABS system, which would bring the bike to a halt sooner.

                  My earlier post have details. For me its good and the braking distance have increased a bit, but not sure that how much.

                  Emergency halting, u need to pump, may not be practical, but once used I think, can tackle this. It will stop almost same as the stock state when consequtive pumping, but it helps the wheels not locking and skidding.

                  Forget about the name and terminologies, if this serves the purpose, whats wrong in choosing one?
