Brake system of motorcycle, scooter, quad bike (ATV)

The braking system of a motorcycle is a key component that allows the rider to slow down and stop the vehicle. The brake system usually consists of brake pads, brake calipers and brake discs. Brake pads are replaceable friction pads that press against the brake discs to slow the wheel. Brake calipers are mechanical devices that hold the brake pads and apply pressure to the brake disc. The brake disc is a disk that rotates with the wheel and is slowed by the brake pads when the driver presses on the brake lever or brake pedal. Motorcycles can have a single brake disc in the front wheel and a single disc in the rear wheel, or they can have dual brake discs in both the front and rear wheels.

What is the CBS system?

CBS stands for Combined Braking System. It is a type of braking system used on motorcycles that combines the front and rear brakes into a single system. When the rider presses the brake lever or pedal, it activates the front and rear brakes simultaneously. The CBS system is designed to improve the motorcycle's overall braking performance by distributing the braking force evenly between the front and rear wheels.

The CBS system typically uses a combination of brake levers, brake pedals and brake calipers to activate the brakes. The system also includes a master cylinder that converts the force applied by the driver into hydraulic pressure, which is used to activate the brakes.

The CBS system is mainly used on scooters and smaller capacity motorcycles, and is common in India, Indonesia, Thailand and some European countries. It helps reduce the effort in the braking process for the driver, also it is a safety feature that helps make braking more stable and predictable.
