The Difference Between Motorcycle ABS and CBS
1 Answers
The difference between motorcycle ABS and CBS is that ABS prevents wheel lock-up, while CBS shortens braking distance; ABS has better safety performance than CBS; ABS is more expensive than CBS. ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System. Its function is to automatically control the braking force during vehicle braking, preventing the wheels from locking up and maintaining a state of rolling and sliding, ensuring maximum adhesion between the wheels and the ground. CBS stands for Combined Braking System, which means the front and rear wheels of the motorcycle can be braked together. Braking both wheels simultaneously ensures maximum friction between the tires and the ground, allowing the motorcycle to achieve the shortest braking distance. The ABS braking system can prevent wheel lock-up, so vehicles equipped with ABS are less likely to skid or lose control during emergency braking, offering higher safety performance. The CBS system can also prevent loss of control to some extent, but its main function is to shorten the braking distance. Therefore, vehicles equipped with CBS have lower safety performance compared to those with ABS. Typically, vehicles equipped with ABS are high-end models and are more expensive, while those equipped with CBS are usually mid-to-low-end models and are slightly cheaper.
