The Bosch Motorcycle ABS 10 base, adapted to the F77, is a dual-channel ABS for two-wheelers with hydraulic brakes on both the front and rear wheels. The technology also brings a rear-wheel lift-up mitigation function to the vehicle, helping to keep the rear wheel on the ground when a rider brakes sharply, reducing the risk of a rollover.
Electric two-wheelers require special attention on the subject of recovery, i.e. energy recovery. This happens when the electric vehicle brakes or slows down while closing the throttle. Bosch ABS fulfills this specific requirement that enhances the performance of the bike in terms of safety.
