The combined braking system reduces the risk of losing control when braking.
The Ministry of Transport, through the National Road Safety Agency (ANSV), has signed an agreement for the new models between 50cc and 250cc the displacement and its electrical equivalent include the Combined brake system (CBS) factory.
The new provision also provides that the models of greater displacement (from 250 cc onwards) must add a series system of anti-lock brakes (ABS), currently present in the larger models.
This regulation will come into effect from 1 January 2024 throughout the 0 km models and will include all models sold starting January 1, 2025.
Differences between CBS (up to 250 cc) and ABS (250 cc and beyond)
This is a measure in line with that implemented at the beginning of 2022 by the automotive sector, which requires all new cars to have stability control (ESP) as standard.
This seeks to reverse the accident rate statistics that motorcyclists represent Almost half of the fatal victimss in road accidents (46%).
From the ANSV they indicate that one of the many causes of accidents is the difficulty of drivers to stop the bike quickly and without losing balance, and that the high accident rate can be reduced by applying advanced technologies in the braking system.
This agreement seeks to change the situation of the current motorcycle market which they do not have advanced and adequate technology. To date, the distribution of braking force between the two wheels of the motorcycle depends exclusively on the skill of the rider.
“With safer vehicles, we make a contribution to the future for the safety and integrity of people,” said Transport Minister Alexis Guerrera.
All motorcycles must add these systems starting in 2025.
For his part, the executive director of ANSV, Pablo Martínez Carignano, said that “this is an unprecedented and very important measure because it means that motorcycle users will be able to travel in safer vehicles”.
The agreement was signed by the National Road Safety Agency, the Ministry of Industry, the Knowledge Economy and External Commercial Management, the Argentine Chamber of Motorcycles (CAM), the Chamber of Motorcycle Manufacturers (CAFAM) and the Industrial Chamber of Motorcycles, Bicycles, Vehicles and Related Vehicles (CIMBRA).
How CBS and ABS braking systems work
The combined brakes (CBS) ensure that even if the driver presses the brake on only one wheel, some of the braking power is sent to the other. In this way braking is more effective and the risk of losing balance is less.
On the other hand, the system ABS brakes It is used to prevent the wheel on which it is installed from locking, preventing slippage and allowing you to dodge when braking, reducing the risk of falling or falling.
The device has a sensor in the wheel that connects to a control module that momentarily releases the brake if it detects that the wheel speed is approaching zero.
