Disk
brakes for mass-produced motorcycles for the first time in the
world |
|
| To be cited as the first case of improvement
in brake controllability is the front wheel disk brake
system installed on the CB750FOUR in 1969. The disk brake
system applied to mass-produced motorcycles for the first
time in the world enabled the achievement of high braking
performance, meeting with the trend at that time for larger
size and higher speed motorcycles. |

CBS
was born from endurance races: Front and rear wheel interlocked
brake |
|
| Honda started involvement with CBS through
racing. The RCB1000, started in 1976 and won consecutive
victories in endurance races, was equipped with a pedal
brake CBS which worked effectively on the front and rear
wheels simultaneously. The objective was to reduce rider
fatigue while in a long competition lasting 24 hours. |

Expansion
of models equipped with CBS and ABS |
|
| |
| This chronological table shows mass-produced models
equipped with advanced brake systems. CBS was first installed
on the GL1200 in 1982. In 1993, dual CBS was developed
for more sporty models and installed on the CBR1000F.
The use of CBS then expanded to a number of models. ABS,
on the other hand, was installed for the first time on
the ST1100 in 1992. It was combined with CBS in 1996 referred
to as combined ABS. In 2003, a newly developed, compact
and lightweight combined ABS was installed on the Silver
Wing and paved the way for installation on many more models. |
