I am sure all of you have seen the automatic door closure in offices and stuff.

This ABS basically works like that, so that the pressure on the disk always only comes linearly. The only reason your wheel can lock now is on bad roads when the wheel goes of the ground.

Review after 6000 kms of Use

I'm using it on both the front & rear brakes from 5months.
I use the bike only for Touring.
It is simply excellent.
It serves the purpose.

The Name ABS should be changed to delayed locking system (DLS) as said earlier by one of the users.

I'm using the SAFERIDE ABS

I purchased Saferide ABS last week (got it overnight). Installed before I went on Talakona Tirupathi and returned back to Chennai.

My Unicorn braking became slightly better or rather smooth.

I was able to counter few unexpected situations during the road trip. Both the times I felt ABS saved me from fall.

Now I have recommended to my friends.

Great product !

I agree, this will only delay the lockup, but to some extent, is useful in emergency braking, as I have experienced this practically.

One bad (rather good for me) day, I almost went under the KSRTC bus, as the reluctant driver all of a sudden decided to take it to the extreme left lane from the divider, and I was in the middle lane, and had no other option to stop the bike, and I managed to balance the bike without slipping though the rear wheel skid for almost 1-1.5 mtrs.....

I thanked god for not letting me slip, and then I realised that if the tyre had not skid, it would have surely helped me in controlling the bike more efficiently, and this pulled me to look into the ABS module.

last wednesday, I was driving the bike on a raining evening (I was close to the destination, so I decided to continue, even though I was wet), and the citi bus driver suddenly applied brakes as some other vehicle stopped in front of him, but the bike got controlled very smoothly and there was no locking up of the wheel at all.

As said by abhijeet its not ABS may it works like ABS ABS is more like a electromechanic device which gives the pulse braking effect that releases and holds your brakes timely to control the momentum of the wheel...

Not even Delayed Locking System, since what is presented here is only and simply a pressure limiter. All it does is to forbid you to apply excessive pressure on the brakes pistons, but does not take in consideration the road condition, which is what ABS does and where it excels.

Danger I see in such a system is that, if it is adjusted so that it will limit the pressure to what is maximal for medium-slippery road condition, it will also limit it when the road is perfectly dry and safe, and reduce your braking power which could, on such road, have been much higher.

If, in the other hand, it limits the pressure to what is maximal on dry road, it will become a perfectly useless feature on a slippery road! Better have such a device, though, than exerting excessive pressure in a "panic" braking than nothing at all, I reckon, but that the manufacturer calls it an ABS system is simply cheating and should be condemned.

i have used it on my karizma zma and then on my r15 and its really usefull. it saved me 2 times on my karizma from falling down on road dont know that abs saved me or that was my luck.
in Emergency situation you press front brake initially and your bike skidds so from this abs system your bike dont skidds and it work like abs in cars .

dind't found much diffrence in r15.

got it from msx motorsport karol bagh in 700 rs.

Two weeks back I got the ABS from Saferide ABS fitted on the rear disc of my Pulsar 220, and it has been working fine... I could see the difference clearly, the braking has become smooth, compared to earlier.

1) Do these after market ABS do their work? Are they good?
-- Working good as of my experience, but not tried on front disc, rear wheel skidding has been reduced to large extent...

2) Are they relaible? I mean how long do they last for? Any particular servicing required? If the servicing is very expensive then I'll have to rethink.
-- not sure though, but till now I didnot face any issues, and I don't think it might give any problems.
-- service costs are negligible as per the company, and they are offering 6 months replacement warranty for any defects in the unit.
-- initial installation will require/recommended to change the brake oil completely

3) I heard these systems weigh around 1.2-1.5Kg. Will this increase in weight affect the overall performance of the bike?
-- Weight is fine, did not effect to much extent... atleast for me!!!

4) Any other side effects of ABS on the entire machine?
-- as of now, only thing found is finding a good mechanic to get it fitted (I am happy because of Mahesh and Mari, who did a good job of fitting this, at Auto Service, Bangalore)

5) This may sound silly, but on which wheel does this device fit? I mean, we on R15 have 2 discs. So one which disc does this fit? Or on both?
-- I recommend fitting this only on the rear disc, it fits both the discs (not sure of R15 though)

6) Any good brand? I have heard of continental or something of that sort. Any other?
7) Ultimately, where in Mumbai can I get one? Sniper is one I know now, anywhere else?
-- checkout Saferide ABS

Final verdict : even though you use ABS, the disc will get locked, the ABS will only increase the locking time, it depends on how you are using the brakes, recommened ratio of front to rear brakes is 70:30, and with disc brake on the rear, there is possibility of skidding while braking suddenly

, and using ABS will only delay the time taken to start skidding

Hope this info helps....

Dear Rishie, You have provided a detailed analysis of the benefits of ABS. All questions answered before asking, I guess

I have one other query. Where did you get it installed in Bangalore? Could you please provide me the contact details of a good mechanic who can install it without any problems. Please reply. Thank you.
