Common Motorcycle Myths & Misconceptions #9

Myth: Non-ABS brakes are better than anti-lock brakes in the hands of an expert rider

This may seems plausible, but studies have put to rest any argument in support of this myth. It has been scientifically proven that even the most experienced rider will stop in a shorter distance in a bike with ABS brakes compared to a bike without ABS, on a dry surface. The gap between ABS and non-ABS brakes will only further increase in favour of ABS on slippery surfaces.
