It provides a better mechanism for braking and helps biker to control bike effectively. ABS (Anti-lock braking system) generally offers improved vehicle control and decreases stopping distances on dry and slippery surfaces for many drivers; however, on loose surfaces like gravel or snow-covered pavement, ABS can significantly increase braking distance, although still improving vehicle control.
This system consists of four things:
1.Controller: It is one of the most important parts of the ABS System. It is just like a brain that controls everything. It keeps a close eye on speed sensors and open or close valves accordingly.
2.Valve
3.Pump and
4.Speed Sensors: ABS gets all the information about the wheel movement included locked up info from these sensors. It is a very important component of this system.
How it works?
It is a very effective braking system. It produces the effect similar to when we apply and release brake 15 times a second. I mean, when you apply an anti-lock braking system, speed of the wheel starts decelerating faster than usual, the controller gets this information from the sensor, to make the wheel acceleration at par with the vehicle speed controller reduces the pressure of break, once that happens controller to increase the pressure again of brake chamber again. This process keeps repeating until the vehicle or car stops completely. It happens very fast(15 times/s) and we get effective and fast braking experience.
