I'm a knight to share, thank you for your attention.
Recently, with the launch of a certain model, the front wheel single-channel ABS has become a hot topic among riders, some people think that this device is purely chicken ribs, for small displacement motorcycles are dispensable, and some people think that it can be installed on the rear brake in a different way of thinking.
In this issue, we will keep up with the trend and talk about this topic that is hotly discussed by car friends.
1.Is ABS useful for small displacement motorcycles?
First of all, it is worth affirming that the emergence of single-channel ABS for the front wheel of our small displacement motorcycle is not only the result of the evolution of the model, but also a helpless move after reducing the cost, especially for some new products recently launched, it is so simple and straightforward for no other reason.
As for whether ABS is useful for small displacement motorcycles, it mainly depends on your safety awareness and riding habits, as well as the application scenario.
Because the safety awareness of riding on the road is the first, if you put aside this hard index, no matter how high-energy safety auxiliary functions are meaningless, after all, the rider has no sense of awe, it is completely the mentality of the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger, how much of a role can the so-called ABS play?
But as long as you ride legally and drive carefully, then ABS must be useful, this device has nothing to do with the size of the displacement, it does not obey the orders of the engine, but has a direct relationship with the braking system.
Don't think that if you can't run fast, the wheels won't lock up when braking, and don't think that if you change a good tire, ABS will have no place, the two are more complementary to each other.
You can do without, but it can't be without. There is nothing to doubt that ABS can act as a life-saving device in a specific state when triggered.
Therefore, do not weaken the anti-lock braking function of ABS, otherwise some countries and regions will not require assembly.
2. Why the factory is keen on front wheel ABS
The answer to this is simple, it is caused by the cost of manufacturing.
Under the limited resources, the vehicle manufacturers will definitely use good steel on the blade, not that the rear wheel brake does not need ABS, but the manufacturing cost does not allow the factory to be so capricious.
This is like the matching of the front disc and the rear drum, as long as there is cost support and profit blessing, the front and rear disc brake dual-channel ABS will become the standard.
Of course, this is also related to the relationship between the front and rear brakes of the motorcycle, as well as the difference between disc brakes and drum brakes. In terms of braking effect, disc brakes will obviously be better than drum brakes, and their instantaneous speed reduction ability will be stronger.
In addition, the main brake of the motorcycle, must be the front brake rather than the rear brake, do not believe you look at the current market, no car will use the design of the front drum and rear disc, even if it is a car in the early years, it is also used in the front disc and rear drum.
The advantage of this combination is that the speed reduction ability of the whole vehicle will be significantly improved under the limited cost, which can effectively achieve the purpose of braking.
However, for some friends, this combination is not in line with personal driving habits, and then they will think that the front disc and the back drum are a bit chicken.
But in fact, as long as you change your braking habits, you will find that the braking ability of the front brake will be significantly stronger than that of the rear brake, which is why CBS will link the front brake when the rear brake is braked.
It is precisely because the front brake is more important for motorcycles that there is a combination that prioritizes single-channel ABS for the front wheels. When this set of solutions is replaced to the rear brake, the vehicle's ability to slow down will be reduced, and to a certain extent, it will also increase the probability of a crash, because the front wheel is more dangerous than the rear wheel after locking, and there is almost no opportunity to adjust and solve.
All in all, ABS is certainly useful for small displacement motorcycles, but only if it's based on a reasonable ride. The front single-channel ABS is purely determined by the manufacturing cost and brake characteristics, because of the existence of the primary and secondary relationship, so it is impossible to interchange.
