How ABS works on motorcycles

ABS works to prevent a motorcycle's wheel, or wheels, from locking during braking. ABS uses speed sensors on both wheels to accurately determine wheel speed as well as sensors to determine when a wheel is about to lock.

ABS adjusts the braking pressure accordingly to prevent the wheel from locking and assists with maintaining the stability of the motorcycle. In many circumstances, ABS has been shown to reduce braking distance. Motorcycles with ABS technology have been shown to be involved in fewer crashes on the road.

Benefits of Motorcycle ABS(motorcycle anti-lock braking system)

A report into the benefits of Anti-Lock Braking Systems (ABS) on on-road motorcycles was commissioned by the Commonwealth and Victorian Governments and released in 2015. The report found that:

ABS could reduce the rate of death and severe injury from motorcycle crashes by 31%

only around 20% of new motorcycles come with ABS as standard 

at the current rate of ABS motorcycle sales, this technology has the potential to save 22 lives between now and 2025 

this figure could rise to 35 saved lives if ABS is made standard on all new motorcycles from 2018.
