Why're they still selling the 180cc until now!!! Isn't it been quite around for sometime now? So from 160, it was 160Fi, then 180 & then now, 180 ABS, what would be next? 180Fi to be followed by 200 or 250? C'mon I'm really tired!!!
Just think about it, a 250CC (damn let it be a single cylinder) & pricing at 1.25L!!! Ah!!! Just wishes were only horses
Well, not exactly that way; may be a 250CC & ABS would've rocked isn't it?Originally posted by RanjithMN View Postso you mean panic braking at 100km/hr is a piece of cake and no one will ever skid off?Skill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle

I like the video and the new feature in Apache. Though I am not a TVS fan but they have got my attention and respect for this launch. ABS is a must in ALL Indian bikes including Splendors and Discovers, however making this tech more affordable would be a bigger challenge.www.motorcykle.in - The lighter side of motorcycling

Big kudos to Scorcher (Ram) for being the test mule during the development of the ABS system for the RTR.
The video could have been better.... miles ahead. Too much wind noise and i couldnt hear the discussions.

In cbr ABS is dangerous as its combined.When you apply rear brakes it aplies front brake also and it can be dangerous it rider apply brakes mid corner.Originally posted by payeng View PostWith the Motorcycle USA guys not too impressed with the ABS on the CBR250R.. even finding it dangerous, will have to wait and see what it does on the RTR.
By the way, what is the price premium on the RTR ABS..??
Any increase in performance on the RTR ABS model?

No matter how much concentration you have and no matter how much skills you possess,ABS equipped bikes will stop faster(least distance) than you can ever hope to achieve with skills and concentration.In the end thats what matters in a panic stop situation.Other aspects about ABS are worth debating upon but not its stopping capabilities.Originally posted by surya220 View Post
Not unless the surface is a slick oily surface or a freshly laid blacktop.. I've done many high speed emergency stops from 120+ in my 220 and trust me, its not that tough if you concentrate while riding..
For all the dislikers and others there is always the option to turn it off in TVS.

Sorry, but I believe ABS just sees to that wheel is not locked under hard breaking.. could you explain how it reduces the breaking distance?Originally posted by Ghost11 View PostNo matter how much concentration you have and no matter how much skills you possess,ABS equipped bikes will stop faster(least distance) than you can ever hope to achieve with skills and concentration.In the end thats what matters in a panic stop situation.Other aspects about ABS are worth debating upon but not its stopping capabilities.

It would have rocked definitely but i believe TVS has been working on the ABS for quite a lot of time now?so its not like they went after its R&D lately,by which i mean they were working on it even before the 250cc hungama kicked in IndiaOriginally posted by aargee View PostD

Its a great tech and hats off to TVS for that.
So have I..so have many,and so have many drivers survived crashes without seat belt.Originally posted by surya220 View PostNot unless the surface is a slick oily surface or a freshly laid blacktop.. I've done many high speed emergency stops from 120+ in my 220 and trust me, its not that tough if you concentrate while riding.. One major thing i feel that TVS should have done for the 180 ABS is to make the front brake lines as steel braided ones.. The feedback they offer is MIND-BLOWING compared to normal polymer brake lines.. Hope TVS incorporates it as an update..
i dont understand where this concept of ABS being useful only at around 200km/h came from.RTR 180 is a machine that does 145 odd right?i just find it strange that ABS is considered useless at those speeds.i think you need to ride it to understand it.ive personally loved the experience of ABS on both 2 and 4 wheels.Smoke rubber,not tobacco.

Almost everything about ABS has been discussed extensively in another thread.I think it was in the superbike forum.Originally posted by vrugonnab View PostSorry, but I believe ABS just sees to that wheel is not locked under hard breaking.. could you explain how it reduces the breaking distance?
For 80% or more of the riders on the road even on a dry surface, ABS translates to improved braking distance and more control.Especially when its panic braking.Originally posted by RanjithMN View PostOn a dry surface ABS doesn't really translate improved braking distance but it still stops you from losing control of the vehilce. and on a wet surface it sure does reduce the braking distance
