ABS Option on all
Harley-Davidson Touring and VRSC Models
Enhanced Braking Offered While Preserving
Distinctive Harley-Davidson Styling
MILWAUKEE (July 9, 2008) – Harley-Davidson will
offer an optional Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) on all 2008 VRSC and
Touring models. By providing maximum braking effort without uncontrolled
wheel lock-up, ABS is designed to help the rider maintain consistent
control during emergency stopping situations, especially those that
happen in less than ideal conditions.
This advanced ABS is designed to work in
conjunction with the Brembo-designed disc brakes on VRSC and Touring
models. The ABS provides light lever feedback during ABS events to alert
the rider to unstable braking conditions. Unlike many motorcycle
anti-lock systems, Harley-Davidson ABS is a manual, independent system,
meaning the rider maintains full, independent control of how much of
each brake is applied. The components of the Harley-Davidson ABS have
been designed and packaged to be virtually invisible, preserving the
clean custom styling of the area around the wheels.
Harley-Davidson ABS will be offered as a
factory-installed option on all Touring and VRSC models. The same system
will replace the previous ABS offered on select Police FL models. ABS is
standard equipment on the 2008 FLHTCUSE3 CVO Screamin’ Eagle Ultra
Classic Electra Glide and FLHRSE4 CVO Screamin’ Eagle Road King, and
also standard on the 2008 FLHTCU Ultra Classic Electra Glide 105th
Anniversary Edition model. |
