    Anti_lock Braking System

    Not sure whether this belongs to UT, but found it interesting...

    Just saw the below video about ABS for two wheelers and was astonished ...
    may be am late, but have any one tried using ABS for bikes...?

    That video does not really prove or show much. But approving nonetheless.

    Moved to Pit stop and Approved
    The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

      I'm using ABS on my unicorn for nearly a month. Have felt the difference while braking. It helped me during the tour - Chennai - Talakona - Tirupati - Chennai last month.

      I have personally felt the difference of braking during the trip where I encountered few turns where it helped me to control and not sure what would have happened if I had not had it.

            A handful of our members are using it. Those using it say it is delivering some benefit. The problem is that we cannot get a quantitative measure of the difference it makes.

            This was discussed for long in some threads and some very strong arguments were exchanged about calling it ABS

              i don't get it actually.that thing attached to the caliper.that just controls the fluid right?
              this Indian ABS,does this prevents a wheel lock?

                Hi guys. The SafeRide ABS doesn't prevent the wheel lock; neither has it felt spongy, like ABS used to give the spongy feeling. One supposed to pull the lever completely without locking the wheel.

                  i m using a 300 mm disk on unicorn and it so powerful that wheel gets locked some time in straight line,even at 80 KMPH, though i never dare squeezing the lever hard at turns .. would ABS still be effective on this setup.

                  combined with ABS would a wider front tyre give me more control while cornering???

                    Yes viv.nomad, it'll definitely increase your breaking performance anywhere. But it's always better to avoid hard breaking in mid corner.

                    For wider front tyre I can just say, it's better to stick with the factory setup unless until we have a very good mechanic with a complete and better idea for the modification. Honda has designed the best for the Unicorn, I think.

                        @viv.nomad,
                        Instead of a wider tyre you may get a stickier tyre of the same size.

                              Is it for front disc or rear disc? Awaiting your review on it, was thinking of ordering it soon for my P220 too, these ABS brakes are intended for rear or front Disc brakes?

                              Is the installation easy?
