What is the difference between CBS and ABS on motorcycles?
1 Answers
The difference between motorcycle CBS and ABS 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 rolling-sliding state, ensuring maximum wheel-to-ground adhesion. CBS refers to the Combined Braking System, which allows simultaneous braking of both front and rear wheels. Braking both wheels together ensures maximum friction between the tires and the ground, providing the motorcycle with the shortest braking distance. The ABS braking system prevents wheel lock-up, so vehicles equipped with ABS have a lower probability of skidding or losing control during emergency braking, offering higher safety performance. The CBS system can also prevent vehicle loss of control to some extent, but its main function is to shorten braking distance. Therefore, vehicles equipped with CBS have lower safety performance than those with ABS. Typically, vehicles equipped with ABS are high-end models with higher prices, while those equipped with CBS are usually mid-to-low-end models with relatively lower prices.
