Advanced brake introduced for motorcycles by Honda ahead of
others
Honda adopted a front wheel disk brake for mass-produced motorcycles
for the first time in the world in 1969 and realized high
braking performance required by the trend for larger size
and higher speed motorcycles. Later on, the front and rear
wheel interlocking brake systems (CBS) were mounted on mass-produced
motorcycles, which were developed through participating in
endurance races. Subsequently, advanced brake systems such
as dual CBS, ABS and combined ABS were developed one after
another and installed on mass-produced models. |
