New Continental anti-lock braking system
The new system, 50 per cent smaller and lighter than previous efforts, will be shown at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan in early NovemberInternational automotive supplier Continental has developed a new anti-lock brake system (ABS) for motorcycles that is approximately 50 per cent smaller and lighter and thus lower in price than previous systems.
This new two-channel ABS will be presented for the first time at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan from November 7-11. Continental says that the MK 100 MAB is suitable for all motorcycle types and will initially go into production in Europe in 2015.
The design of the new system includes not only the ABS function, but also a rear wheel lift-off protection system (RLP). Depending on individual customer requirements, a sport ABS function will be adapted for race-track operation, an off-road ABS for off-road driving, and a traction-control system for compensating for traction loss during acceleration are also possible.
