ABS (Optional)
Honda's highly-advanced Combined ABS is a remarkable and ground-breaking first for a bike in its class. For many years Combined ABS has offered a dramatic confidence benefit to emergency braking situations where the machine's wheels can lock, resulting in a loss of control. But never before has a system been developed that has the necessary refinement, low weight and performance to suit a Super Sports bike like the Fireblade. Until now.
Honda has developed an all-new, lightweight system that befits the Total Control concept of the entire bike. For a minimal weight increase, the confidence of Combined ABS can now be enjoyed by the Super Sports rider who demands the highest performance in every facet of a motorcycle. |
