How does the anti-lock brake system prevent wheel lock up?

What will be an ideal response?


The anti-lock brake system works when the rider applies the brakes hard enough to lock the wheel. Sensors read wheel speed. This data is processed by the ABS computer and sent to the modulators for both front and rear wheels to control brake fluid pressure. When activated, the ABS varies the braking torque to allow the wheels a limited amount of controlled slipping. The computer eases brake line pressure if it senses a lock up.
