What does vehicle CBS mean?

Vehicle CBS refers to the Combined Braking System. The CBS braking system allows simultaneous braking of both front and rear wheels with a single hand or foot operation. By rationally distributing the braking force between the front and rear wheels, it achieves higher braking efficiency, resulting in greater braking deceleration, reduced braking distance, and ensures safe, prompt, and smooth stopping for high-speed vehicles. Brake pad replacement method: 1. Open the engine compartment to check the brake fluid level to prevent overflow during replacement; 2. Remove the wheel where the brake is located; 3. Remove the brake caliper bolts and take out the brake pads; 4. Install new brake pads, tighten the guide bolts, and complete the replacement.
The full name of CBS is Combined Brake System, which is called the combination braking system in Chinese. It is mainly used on motorcycles and some small vehicles to make braking operations more convenient. Simply put, when you only apply the rear brake, the system automatically engages the front wheel as well to prevent skidding or the risk of tipping over. I often use this feature when riding because it enhances braking stability, especially in rainy weather or on curves, preventing the bike from sliding out. Many new models come equipped with CBS as a safety assist technology, which is more reliable than manual braking alone. However, remember that it cannot replace the driver's judgment, and it's still essential to regularly check the wear on brake pads and lines.
