ABS:-ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. A COMPONENT ADDED TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM THAT DETECTS WHEEL LOCK UP. THE SYSTEM THEN MODULATES THE BRAKES AT THAT POINT WITH THE IDEA OF STOPPING YOU FASTER THAN YOU COULD YOURSELF.
AN ACRONYM: ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
COMPUTER CONTROLLED BRAKES WHICH USE SENSORS TO DETERMINE WHEN A TIRE ON A WHEEL IS STARTING TO SKID AND RESPONDS BY VERY QUICKLY REMOVING BRAKING PRESSURE ON THE AFFECTED WHEEL, THEN RESTORING THAT PRESSURE IN AN EFFORT TO KEEP STOPPING POWER AT ITS MAXIMUM (JUST PRIOR TO A SKID).
ABS RESPONDS TO IMMINENT BRAKE LOCK CAUSED BY EITHER EXCESSIVE BRAKING PRESSURE OR SUDDEN LOSS OF TIRE TRACTION.
TESTS HAVE SHOWN THAT EXTREMELY SKILLED RACERS CAN BRAKE SLIGHTLY MORE EFFECTIVELY WITHOUT ABS, BUT THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF MOTORCYCLISTS ARE INCAPABLE OF BRAKING AS EFFECTIVELY WITHOUT ABS AS THEY CAN WITH IT.
THE FUNDAMENTAL SAFETY ADVANTAGE OF AN ABS IS NOT THAT A MOTORCYCLE STOPS MORE QUICKLY WITH IT THAN WITHOUT, BUT THAT IT VIRTUALLY ELIMINATES REAR-BRAKE LOCK IN PANIC SITUATIONS. 2.
