Abs

I went to but a new SG today but they did not have any with ABS. I thought ABS seemed like a good idea for safety. Any problems with the ABS? Do you think it is worth the 795.00 extra for it?

Thanks in advance
Jeff

I don't have ABS. I got a sweet deal on my bike off the showroom floor the only thing it didn't have was ABS. If I was going to order a bike I would order it with ABS.

I know a dozen people with it and they all highly recommended it to me so I made sure I bought a bike with ABS.

We got to try it out yesterday and I am very pleased with how it works and glad I have it.

I was on a ride with 130 bikes 3/4 way back in the field when they started stopping fast ahead of me. I had the wife on back and hit both the front and rear brakes hard at the same time and both wheels barked for a spilt second and the bike stopped smooth and straight.

IMO, ABS is a no brainer. It's the one thing that always tempts me to trade up for a new bike. Plus it makes it an easier sell to the wife......"But honey, it's much safer riding with ABS brakes". 8 D
