Don't know if this has been discussed before but I just saw this online and being pretty engineering challenged just wanted to see what some more learned persons input was.

Repost I believe, or it may have been on a different forum. In any case, the Chinese have been putting similar units on scooters and pitbikes with giant 'ABS Equipped' stickers for a few years now. Dunno if they work, don't really like the theory behind them.

Why not just crack the bleed nipple and let a little air into the system, should have the same effect.

Call me a Luddite but this "technology" scares the piss outta me thinking people will actually be riding around with this thing on their bikes

It's cheaper than a full-on ABS system.... so it CAN'T work...... RIGHT?

Well thanks for the input. I was just wondering about it since I have no idea about such things.

If there's one thing motorcyclists fear above all else, it's losing the front end under braking.

Well what the fuck....I sure coulda used that on Saturday.

false sense of security, I can see some riding the brakes to the grip into the apex - its still going to slide
