TCB = Traction Control Braking


They claim to take the panic out of a panic stop by putting a sealed air chamber in line with your brake fluid. A poor man's ABS. If you are an inexperienced rider and **** to locking up the brakes during a panic stop, you might want to give it a try, but I have no idea how you are going to test it out until you put the bike into a white knuckled panic stop.

For me, I want to feel the resistant feedback of the brake pads.

I've been interested in this as well but have heard you can feel the pulsing anytime you hit your brakes. Not 100% sure if that is true or not

If you do a search you'll possibly find a thread from about four years ago where a member decided to buy the different sizes available and test them out for us. He started out fine but about two thirds of the way through he disapeared with no further updates. During his testing though he discovered that just doing the testing and practicing emergency stops he was getting better at stopping.

Made me believe that practice is better than a band-aid fix.

+++++ on what he said. Learn to brake, it's more important that twisting the throttle.
