BMW motorcycle ADV is the abbreviation of 'adventure', meaning adventure. Here is the relevant introduction about ADV motorcycles: 1. Introduction: This type of motorcycle features a tall stature, high-mounted side exhaust, larger-sized spoke wheels, and a powerful low-torque engine. It provides riders with a comfortable and natural riding triangle, ensuring they don't feel overly fatigued during long journeys through mountains and rivers. 2. Social Impact: ADV adventure motorcycles, this emerging category, quickly gained popularity among motorcycle travel enthusiasts upon their release. Compared to rally bikes, ADV motorcycles offer more comfortable shock absorption and seats, better powertrains, and larger fuel tanks. Compared to street bikes and sports bikes, they also boast excellent off-road performance. Given China's complex terrain, ADV motorcycles are quite practical for motorcycle travel enthusiasts.

ADV motorcycles, also known as adventure motorcycles, are something I've personally experienced. They are specifically designed for long-distance off-road travel, allowing me to easily traverse rugged terrains like mountain paths or deserts. Key features include a high ground clearance chassis to avoid scraping, plus a large fuel tank for extended range, enabling hundreds of kilometers of non-stop riding. The tires are extra wide for superior grip, ensuring no slipping on mud or snow. I often go camping with friends—the ADV's spacious rear trunk fits tents and food, and the ride feels stable and comfortable, unlike the bumpy experience of regular street bikes. As for brands, classics like Honda's Africa Twin or BMW's GS series range from tens to hundreds of thousands, catering to different budgets. However, they require regular maintenance, especially suspension and brake checks, to prevent issues during off-road adventures. In short, ADV motorcycles add thrilling adventure to life while offering significantly better safety than standard bikes.

Why is the brake still engaged when the air brake is released?

This situation is caused by the one-way check valve of the brake vacuum pump being stuck. The only solution is to replace the check valve assembly to eliminate the fault. If it's a drum brake, take it to a repair shop and disassemble it to check if the brake pads are worn.
