What is the difference between CFMOTO 250SR ABS and CBS?
2 Answers
The difference between CFMOTO 250SR ABS and CBS is that ABS is an anti-lock braking system, while CBS is a combined braking system linking the front and rear wheels. Here are the specific details about the CFMOTO 250SR: Power: This motorcycle is equipped with a 249cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine. The engine delivers a maximum power of 19.5kW and a maximum torque of 22Nm. The peak power is achieved at 9,000 rpm, while the maximum torque is available at 7,500 rpm. Structure: The CFMOTO 250SR features LED lighting units, with headlights that provide excellent illumination at night. The high-end version comes with a full-color instrument panel, while the standard version does not include this feature.
I previously rode the CFMoto 250SR in both ABS and CBS versions, with the biggest difference being the braking systems and how they ensure safety. ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System, which automatically adjusts during hard braking to prevent wheel lock-up and skidding—especially useful in rainy weather, allowing me to stop steadily. CBS, or Combined Braking System, slightly engages the front brake when the rear brake is applied, helping balance braking force, making it more beginner-friendly and reducing the risk of tipping over. However, ABS is overall more advanced, offering shorter braking distances. Though pricier, it's worth it for peace of mind while riding. My suggestion: if you mostly ride in the city, go for ABS; for mountainous areas or slower rides, CBS is sufficient. Remember to regularly check your braking system to extend its lifespan and avoid costly repairs.
