In the crowded landscape of two-wheeled transportation, safety, and affordability often find themselves at opposite ends of the spectrum. However, the advent of dual-channel Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS) has bridged this gap, offering riders an enhanced level of security without breaking the bank. Priced under 1.5 lakhs, a selection of motorcycles equipped with this advanced braking technology provides peace of mind on the road and caters to budget-conscious riders.
This article will show the top five bikes with dual-channel ABS that provide affordability and safety.
1. Bajaj Pulsar N160

The Pulsar N160 is the most affordable bike in the 1.5 lakh price segment to get dual-channel ABS. It is priced at Rs 1.31 lakhs. However, it’s worth noting that the dual-channel version comes only in black and blue. While the single-channel variant also comes in red.
