What Is ABS For Motorcycle?

Motorcycle ABS is often touted for its effectiveness in preventing wheel lockdown under hard braking, and decreasing braking distance by improving precision.
Simply put, ABS on motorcycles prevents wheel locking and increases stability. Motorcycles are, by nature, less stable than four-wheeled vehicles. Braking too hard can destabilise a motorcycle and lead to either the front or rear wheel locking, causing the bike to overturn or slide.
Alternatively, failure to brake hard enough can result in a rider failing to avoid a crash.

But you might have heard some people having reservations about the system.
Well, we will now look into these aspects in detail and know if ABS is really a life saver or not.
First of all, various studies have confirmed that ABS is very effective in preventing accidents.
According to“The Insurance Institute of Highway Safty”, fatal crashes on ABS equipped motorcycles have reduced by 31% compared to the unequipped ones.
Swedish Road Administration stated that deadly accidents on motorcycles above 125cc can be lowered by 48% by using ABS! 
Statistics apart, we will now see about the functioning of ABS and how it can save your life.

ABS is an intelligent module and it requires several components to work precisely. It consists of a ring gear attached to the wheel hub, which is known as Tone Wheel or Tone Ring.
This ring gear is connected to a magnetic sensor to generate electric pulses. ABS is also connected to the brake callipers to control brake pressure.
