Nuovo ABS R1200S

E cosi' BMW ha accontentato tutti quelli che si lamentavano del servo freno!

Resta da vedere se ci sono criticita' nell'elettronica, e cosa puo' capitare se si rompe... a logica mal che vada non interviene... staremo a vedere intanto ecco qualche info generale.

The system used on the R1200 S is an upgraded two-channel ABS configuration without an integral function or brake servo, excelling through low weight and compact dimensions and thus adding just 1.5 kilos or 3.3 lb to the overall weight of the machine.

This low weight is made possible by a newly designed, extremely compact pressure modulator featuring linear-control intake valves for optimum brake pressure at all times in the usual ABS control range, that is when applying the brakes with the risk of the wheels locking. This superiority is ensured by very fast and precise control intervals, the new control valves with their infinitely variable cross-section also enhancing the feeling of smoothness for the rider, who will feel only a minor pulse effect in the brake levers.

A further advantage for the rider is the option to deactivate ABS when riding on a racetrack.

BMW Motorrad’s new ABS anti-lock brakes again come with an even wider range of diagnostic functions, the wheel speed sensors, for example, automatically supervising their distance from the sensor wheel and thus contributing to the supreme standard of all-round safety offered by the system.
