ABS

[seangee]

the big issue with locking up brakes on bikes is its usually in PANIC situations.Its feck all to do with normal riding.As such you actually are not in control of your bike, hence a passive system like abs is so valuable.

abs is a lifesaver I prefer to have.

Very true. Probably wouldn't bother on a track bike but for day to day riding I feel much more comfortable with it. As for the cost methinks some manufacturers are taking the pi$$. My new Sprint came standard with ABS and there is no non-ABS option. Can't tell how much extra the ABS cost but it is a very competitively priced bike - in fact bloody good vfm.
