Higher-end models come equipped with the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), but the Honda Livo features the Combi Brake System (CBS). CBS does provide better braking performance than standard brakes but does not prevent wheel lockup as ABS does. As a result, riders have debated about whether the safety implications are real, particularly for those who often ride in the rain or on roads whose surface is unpredictable. While some say CBS is enough for this kind of commuter bike, others say Honda should offer an ABS option for people who want to pay more for added safety. It frequently explores the tradeoff between cost, regulatory requirements, and real-world safety benefits for the average commuter.
