What is the difference between CFMOTO 250SR CBS and ABS?
2 Answers
CFMOTO 250SR CBS and ABS mainly differ in the following aspects: 1. Instrument panel: CBS uses an LCD instrument panel, while ABS adopts a full-color TFT instrument panel with a redesigned interface UI. 2. Brake assist system: There are differences in the brake assist system configurations - ABS features an anti-lock braking system, whereas CBS employs a front-rear linked braking system. 3. Clutch: CBS utilizes a slipper clutch, while ABS comes with a standard clutch. They can be distinguished by the clutch cover design - the slipper clutch cover bears the CF-SC logo. The slipper clutch provides a lighter and more comfortable lever feel.
Last year I bought a CFMoto 250SR without ABS but with CBS. After riding it for a few months, I test-drove the ABS version. The CBS system is a big help during normal riding—when you press the rear brake, it automatically distributes front brake pressure, making it easy for beginners to handle without worrying about losing balance. But the ABS version is even better. During emergency braking, the wheels won’t lock up, especially on slippery rainy roads. The rapid pumping sound of ABS reminds you that the system is working to prevent skidding and falling. For daily commuting, CBS is hassle-free; if you want speed or adventure, ABS is more reliable and safer. The price difference is a few thousand bucks, but it’s a worthwhile investment. From a practical standpoint, ABS enhances the bike’s overall reliability, and the braking response feels like having an expert guiding you, making long rides much more reassuring.
