ABS anti-lock braking system is now everyone has long been commonplace for automotive braking systems in terms of this is already standard on most models, you can say that if there is no ABS are embarrassed to sell. In contrast to the domestic motorcycle market, the majority of motorcycles are not ABS configuration ABS on motorcycles Is it not important? To know that in developed countries in Europe and Japan, motorcycle ABS system has long been a mandatory standard. This is precisely illustrates the ABS is very important! That in the end it that important? Let’s look down slowly.
ABS anti-lock system first appeared in the 1920s, the main application of the ABS system early on trains and planes, which greatly reduces the wear of the train wheels and rails while on the plane it acts to prevent deviation brake, reducing the severe tire wear, so that the body becomes more stable and secure. To the 1950s, the technology was finally installed in the car, so the car’s safety factor has been a qualitative leap.
1988 years later, many years later, BMW launched the K 100, which is the world’s first car with hydraulic ABS motorcycle. Since then, a motorcycle with ABS is designed mushroomed major manufacturers produced, so that the knight can enjoy a safer ride a motorcycle to bring the fun.
on the role of ABS in motorcycles than cars, it has a more obvious sense. Born two motorcycles, with flexible features, but also in the body has a natural lack of stability, especially when braking. In the absence of emergency braking the ABS can easily cause wheel lock, skidding rollover accident. While ABS motorcycle can greatly reduce the occurrence of such incidents, heavy braking in emergency situations, ABS will lock the wheels critical point in the start, let the wheels to keep rolling state. So that you can continue to control the vehicle evasive action so that they escaped.
At present, many riders feel that ABS reduces the braking distance, right in actual use does give such a feelingBut in fact it will slightly increase braking distance. In the absence of ABS, brake if the Cavaliers can operate perfectly, so that the front and rear brake remains critical point in the wheel lock, which is definitely the shortest braking distance. But in practice even professional drivers can not guarantee that there is such a perfect operation, which resulted in no ABS state, Knight can not play braking performance, resulting in longer braking distances. This situation is more prominent, especially in the wet pavement, and the slightest mistake will cause wheel lock accidents. But if there is involvement of ABS, Knight could easily output braking force, safe stop.
There is a misunderstanding that some riders, a motorcycle with ABS security is greatly improved, they can be more daring ride, but in fact only ABS braking auxiliary systems, safe to operate mainly to see the knight. Any more than the physical limits of vehicle behavior, are likely to be the last ride of your life. So wear protective gear when riding, keep a safe distance, on the road to predict in advance, to comply with traffic rules are important. So as to better play to the best performance out of ABS and other electronic control devices.
Some people believe that a small displacement motorcycle light weight, slow speed, speed fast, so that pretend not installed ABS does not matter. But in fact, regardless of the size of displacement, as long as the speed of accidents per hour more than 30km, are most likely to cause injury. Accidents can not be based on what kind of car you ride to determine the severity of the injury.
With the development of society, the motorcycle has grown from the original production tools, and slowly transformed into most people’s recreational toys, it’s natural requirements more and more, especially more concerned about the security configuration. ABS which is becoming a standard to judge whether riders buy a car. After all, their own to buy a motorcycle used to play, is not used to death-defying.
In recent years, the domestic motorcycle market has flourished, various manufacturers are also aware of the importance of ABS. A model introduced universal version and ABS version. This will not only boost sales, but also to make their ABS version of the model a better price. In fact, manufacturers of such sales strategy is excusable, thoughMotorcycle good market year after year, but for now many motorcycle manufacturers still in relatively difficult state, adding a ABS system must make cost has increased, the price of natural have gone up. But I want to say is that, with the development of the motorcycle market as well as the Friends of Mount continues to mature, such as ABS to buy marketing strategies will gradually lose its effect. Who is the first of the Friends of Mount safety first, who will ultimately gain a firm foothold to give the Friends of Mount recognition. Of course, with the Friends of Mount recognition, afraid of not making money?
