ABS works by releasing and then reapplying or 'pumping' the brakes to a motorcycle wheel or car wheels in heavy braking situations. Sensors on each wheel are used to detect 'locking' or when a wheel stops moving and starts to skid. Although not all ABS systems are the same, with some only preventing wheels on the rear axle from locking up. When a lock-up is detected, ABS pumps the brakes, 100's of times a second.
rivers are benefitting from the effectiveness of ABS according to an 11-year study in the U.S, conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Nonfatal crashes have reduced by 6% in cars, and by 8% in LTV's. Motorcycles equipped with ABS are also 37% less likely to be involved in a fatal crash, according to a study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
