    Mandatory ABS after 2017 set for motorcycles in Europe

    Legislation to come into effect from 2017



    ACCORDING to German component suppliers, Bosch, ABS looks set to become mandatory on all machines from 2017.

    European Parliament is likely to sanction the legislation before they break for their summer recess at the end of July. The imminent decision follows a long consultation process with industry bodies, manufacturers and trade associations.

    It's expected that the law will insist that all new 125cc+ motorcycles manufactured after 2017 will have to be fitted with OE ABS braking systems in a bid to increase rider safety.

      thats good news, from the safety point of view, but the bikes will become costly.

      and what about standardization parameters, i think they will soon have to set minimum performance parameters for legally accepted ABS, otherwise people will simply add some electronices/wires/sensors and make teh whole system look like an ABS, which actually does nothing, just to pass the law.

        That might not actually happen. Like ARAI in India, there must be some standardisation in Europe for homologation process. Unlike India, where I can trick a traffic policeman into thinking that my Pulsar is road legal whereas it is absolutely not, in Europe you can't trick the system.

        But 2017, don't you guys think its a bit too far for such a simple move?

            That's the reason it says after 2017.

            The more people buy helps the company to bring the cost down and other reasons stated by others.
