Can we attach ABS (anti-lock braking system) to HONDA CBR150R?
2023-09-14 09:41:43 AM

At present, the company provides no such option as ABS and it comes as a factory-fitted product on the Honda CBR250R only. TVS may revolutionize the ABS technology as it will soon offer it as a dealer level fitment on its new Apache RTR 200 4V. That may force all the others to get a dealer-level option of fitting ABS and you may soon get an option of ABS in your CBR150R. The technology can cost anything between INR 10,000-15,000 depending upon the grade and number of channels used for the bike.
