    A94529B4-391B-4441-BE86-99ED71822BD0.jpeg This page refers to the 2019 bikes. @nigelrb you’ve read the manual. Is this a return to C-ABS or do our bikes have it. I thought they didn’t.

    My interpretation is 'yes' but in name only. Remember that ours is the Bosch system, not Honda's own in-house product. In all the ABS posts I've read on this forum, only one suggested Bosch wasn't good.

    Do the MotoGP bikes use any form of ABS? ...just wondering since much innovation comes form racing.

    Honda had combined brakes years ago, I think the VFR had them. The problem was with the fly by wire C-ABS solution they put on the blades.

    No mate. A decent rider can out perform an ABS system so there's no place for it in racing as it's something else to go wrong and adds unnecessary weight
