• It’s What We Do

It’s amazing how the use of the brakes can vary so much.

‘Brake feel’ is a term you hear quite a bit, and it’s something a lot of riders started learning on pushbikes way back when. I remember my first bike with a front brake. It could’ve been called an eject button.

But imagine if you didn’t spend a lot of time on a pushy as a young’n. Learning how to ride a motorbike must be quite a daunting
prospect. That’s where some good training can make a difference, and ABS can definitely be a very good idea.
