ABS in the context of motorcycles stands for "Anti-lock Braking System." It is a safety feature that prevents a motorcycle's wheel or wheels from locking during braking, thus helping the rider maintain control and avoid accidents. ABS works by using speed sensors on both wheels to accurately determine when a wheel is about to lock, and it then modulates the brake pressure to prevent this from happening
