Superb performance requires tremendous stopping power, and the two-channel ABS provides extra safety for bike riders. The main function of the ABS braking system is to prevent wheel lockup during hard braking. Unlike single-channel ABS, dual-channel ABS is safer as it avoids wheel lockup on both wheels, protecting the bike and the rider from crashing. Here are the top five reasonably priced motorbikes with dual-channel ABS technology, though many motorcycles have only single-channel ABS.
