    An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a safety anti-skid braking system used on aircraft and on land vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles, trucks, and buses. [1] ABS operates by preventing the wheels from locking up during braking, thereby maintaining tractive contact with the road surface and allowing the driver to maintain more control over the ...

    Symbol for ABS; Anti-lock braking system (ABS) restore traction to a car's tires by regulating the brake pressure when the vehicle begins to skid. [32] Alongside helping drivers in emergencies, such as when their car starts to skid on ice, ABS systems can also assist drivers who may lose control of their vehicle. [32]

    Aprilia Tuono R front brakes have two floating stainless steel discs with sintered pads, and radially mounted, four-piston calipers. Motorcycle braking systems have varied throughout time, as motorcycles evolved from bicycles with an engine attached, to the 220 mph (350 km/h) prototype motorcycles seen racing in MotoGP. Most systems work by ...

    By interpreting the speed and force with which the brake pedal is pushed, the system detects if the driver is trying to execute an emergency stop, and if the brake pedal is not fully applied, the system overrides and fully applies the brakes until the anti-lock braking system (ABS) takes over to stop the wheels locking up. [1]

    CBC then adjusts brake steer torque, brake pressure, yaw rate, and stopping distance, helping the driver keep control of the vehicle while turning both inwards and outwards. [5] Experimentation done with CBC technology has shown that it is an advancement on the traditional Anti Lock Braking System (ABS) featured in modern vehicles.

    In 1988, the K 100 became the first motorcycle to have anti-lock brakes (ABS) [20] and in 1989 the K 100 RS 4V model became the first BMW motorcycle to use an engine with four valves per cylinder. The 1988 BMW K 1 sports tourer was BMW's first full-fairing sport bike. It had an aerodynamic body which was designed to minimise drag at high speeds.
