Brake system - with BMW Integral ABS

Fully integral brakes
The integral brake function
interlinks the front and rear
brakes, so both wheels are
braked when you operate a
brake lever.
The electronic controller in the
BMW Integral ABS computes
the braking-force distribution
between front and rear wheels,
and applies the brakes accord-
ingly.
Braking-force distribution
depends on load and is recal-
culated every time the ABS
controller comes into action.
In a fully integral brake configu-
ration, the integral braking func-
tion is activated by either the
handbrake lever or the brake
pedal.
Brake booster
The hydraulic pump in the BMW
Integral ABS actively boosts the
braking force acting on the
wheel when the brakes are
applied.
By boosting the braking force in
this way, the BMW Integral ABS
achieves higher braking effi-
ciency than standard brake
systems.
ABS - anti-lock brake sys-
tem
ABS prevents the wheels lock-
ing under heavy braking when
the motorcycle is travelling in a
straight line, thus contributing
significantly to road safety.
