hydraulic device that controls the pressure in the
brake circuit when the control unit, by processing
information from wheel sensors, determines that
one or both wheels are about to lock up. In this case,
pressure decrease in the brake circuit allows the
wheel to carry on turning, thereby preserving grip.
After that, the control unit restores the pressure in
the brake circuit, to resume the braking action. This
cycle is repeated many times until the problem is
completely eliminated. Normally, the rider will
perceive ABS operation as a harder feel or a
pulsation of the brake lever and pedal. The front and
rear brakes use separate control systems.
The ABS system fitted to the Diavel 1260 is a safety
system preventing wheel lockup while braking,
adopting different strategies depending on the
selected level. The active presence of strategies and
their intervention level depend on the selected level.
The ABS features 3 levels, one associated to each
Riding Mode.
The Diavel 1260 ABS features a "cornering" function
that optimises ABS functionality to the conditions
where the motorcycle is leaning over, thus
preventing wheel lockup and slipping as much as
possible, within the physical limits allowed by the
vehicle and by the road conditions. The cornering
feature is active in ABS levels 2 and 3.
According to the selected level, the Diavel 1260 ABS
implements the anti lift-up function for the rear
wheel so as to guarantee not only a reduced
stopping distance under braking, but also the
highest possible stability. This is active in levels 2 and
3.
Attention
Using the two brake controls separately
reduces the motorcycle braking power.
Never use the front brake control harshly or
suddenly as you may cause rear wheel lift-up and
lose control of the motorcycle.
When riding in the rain or on slippery surfaces,
braking will become less effective. Always use the
brakes very gently and carefully when riding under
these conditions. Any sudden manoeuvres may lead
to loss of control.
When tackling long, high-gradient downhill road
tracts, shift down gears to use engine braking. Apply
one brake at a time and use brakes sparingly.
Keeping the brakes applied all the time would cause
