A panic stop is not controllable. ABS has saved many rider lives worldwide. When you're truly surprised by an imminent danger, you'll grab a handful of brake, lock-up and fall. Period.

*DISCLAIMER FOR BEGINNERS*
Please, don't listen to these people. ABS saves lives, even if you are skilled. Trust me.

Everybody here said if you know how to brake you dont really need ABS well maybe riding during rainy and someone cut front of you I want see how many valentino rossi they can immediately stop the bike without losing the front end its not that easy in emergency ABS can save your life!!!!

Ive been riding for 8 years. Get a bike with ABS. It absolutely saves lives.

I've been riding for 30+ years. Dirt and Street. I've riden everything from dirt bikes, crusiers to track day race bikes. I'm on the first bike I've ever owned with ABS (2020 GSXR-1000) and I find myself asking, "where have these brakes been all my life?" YES! Develop the skills you need to brake and brake hard but it's never a bad thing to have the backup in case you need it.

I had a pretty minor crash in 2010 on a bike without ABS. Broke my elbow and got some road rash on my body. ABS definitely would have kept me upright and more in control, so any bike I own now will definitely have ABS! Thanks for showing its effectiveness.

I’d like to see how far the non ABS bike would have gone without the stabiliser touching the road.

Knowing how to slow down is more important than ABS

Anyone that's ever been in an accident/crash or near miss knows they never intended to get into that accident/crash when they chose to ride out that day. ABS will definitely help for those situations.

I've ridden drum/disk bikes with no abs off and on road the key to not locking the wheel is simply understanding the bikes breaking ability. It's not really that difficult to get used to imo

[Elninioshow]

I truly believe in ABS System, but you don't need to put more sand on the TURNED OFF ABS example to demostrate it. Just make a fair test, anyway ABS TURNED ON is better.

[SaucyNetworkEntertainment]

I love how people try to debate the established fact that ABS saves lives

[raulmartinez]

Choose ABS over non-ABS. I learned the hard way on how important it is to ride a bike with ABS. I was going about 40 miles per hour and the traffic light abruptly turned red. I pressed on the brakes and suddenly I found myself skidding on the road. I got a fractured foot and some road rashes on my left hand as a result of this. I am not sure what caused my wheels to skid really badly, either it was sand or oil on the road, but if my bike had an ABS this wouldn't have happened. Just get ABS. You will be forever grateful when it is needed the most.

Ride a bike with ABS, but ride as if you don't have it.

Never start to depend on technology, it will make you complacent.

If you have ABS, make sure it is serviced properly.

And never ever forget the Golden Rule - always drive such that you can stop safely within the distance you can see to be clear.

ABS saved my life once. My bike was pushed out into the edge of the road/ditch where there was tons of gravel and dirt by a grandma not checking her mirrors as she pulled out right in front of me. The Combined-ABS system on my Honda CBR600RR kept the bike upright, controlled, and I managed to stop before I smacked into the rear side of her car. The situation came out of nowhere, and if I even spent half a second to do a "controlled braking" I would have smacked into the rear of the car. This situation happened at around 80-90 mph. Do you want to do a controlled braking? of course. But sometimes you will not have the time or ability to do so before it's too late. Your skills does NOT control other unskilled drivers.

For Everyone: ABS stands for Anti- lock Braking System.
Not Anti- braking system.

[yusufdawood]

Progressive breaking is a great skill to have. It's interesting to watch these videos to get a better understanding of how motorcycles react in specific situations. Cool video.

[c_wonder]

currently don’t have ABS on my Ducati but I’m definitely pro ABS as it’s saved my life in a sudden maneuver. Yes, practicing can make you skilled to learn to stop quickly but when it comes down to life or death needing to react, those wheels will lock up if you weren’t ready.

ABS is like seatbelts you never need them until you do

[Jafmanz]

ABS and traction control are 2 greatest advancements in motorcycle technology to this day!
