[webbikeworld.com] - ABS Could Soon be Mandatory for US Motorcycles
Click here for full story...
We have a pair of organizations crying for ABS to be a necessity in U.S. motorcycles – and although the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has yet to cave, the amount of ABS-standard bikes in America continues to grow.* Back on November 13th, The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) released an article on a petition made in partnership with the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI). This petition argues that it is safer to ride a bike with ABS and that mandatory ABS on all American motorcycles would save lives.* A view of a motorcycle training class. Media provided by RideApart.Between the years 2013 and 2023, the IIHS-HLDI has found the following industry percentages:
Ideally, the U.S. should take a leadership position when it comes to safety regulations… but at the very least, NHTSA should act swiftly to adopt the best practices when the rest of the world moves faster.”– David Harkey, President, IIHS-HLDI Does this mean that America’s Powersports industry will soon be affected? My gut reaction pleads a negative, though the above percentages seem to lean toward some sort of decision climax around the years 2033-2035 (this being if the NHTSA does nothing in the meantime).* What do you think the NHTSA should do with this petition? *Media sourced from Asphalt & Rubber, as well as RideApart, and Motofomo* The post ABS Could Soon be Mandatory for US Motorcycles appeared first on webBikeWorld.

Interesting. Wondering if it goes anywhere or not. Surprising to me that 59% of registered motorcycles in the US in 2023 have ABS. Seems high, but it is a very significant uptick from 2013, so maybe there is something to it.

Interesting. My new bike has ABS and I've felt it go off more than a few times on the rear brake. Haven't hit the front hard enough yet, but the rear is easy to break loose.
