motorcycle: the possibility of falling or having an
accident during this moment is statistically
higher than any other moment. When one or both
wheels lock, the stabilising action of traction fails,
resulting in loss of control of the vehicle.
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) has been
developed to enable riders to use the motorcycle
braking power to the fullest possible amount in
emergency braking or under poor pavement or
adverse weather conditions. ABS is an electro-
hydraulic device that controls the pressure in the
brake circuit when the control unit, by processing
information from wheel sensors, determines that
one or both wheels are about to lock up. This avoids
wheel lockup and preserves traction within the limits
of the system. that, the control unit restores
the pressure in the circuit, to resume the braking
action. This cycle is repeated many times until the
problem is completely eliminated. Normally, the
rider will perceive ABS operation as a harder feel or a
pulsation of the brake lever or pedal.
The front and rear brakes use separate control
systems.
The ABS of this motorbike, depending on the level
selected, can include:
●
the “cornering” function, which optimises the
ABS operation even when the vehicle is leaning
over. The system manages the front and rear
brake systems according to the leaning angle of
the vehicle, helping to maintain the set
trajectory by preventing wheel lock-up and
skidding as much as possible, within the physical
limits allowed by the vehicle and by the road
conditions;
●
the control, which limits or prevents
of the rear wheel so as to guarantee not only
a reduced stopping distance under braking, but
also the highest possible stability.
