CBR1000RR Fireblade
The world of motorcycling is already well aware of the CBR1000RR Fireblade’s standing in the elite realms of the ultimate sports bike. Incredibly light, fast and controllable, the iconic Fireblade has built a well-deserved reputation for delivering the full-blooded joy of extreme performance. Almost miraculously, it manages to combine this with a smooth, refined and cultured experience that makes every ride a pleasure, even when it's not ten tenths.
For 2009, the Fireblade sees the addition of high performance electronically-controlled Combined Anti-lock Brake System (e-CABS) as an option. Continuing Honda’s determination to enhance motorcycle safety at every opportunity, the highly-advanced e-CABS is a remarkable and ground-breaking first for a bike in its class.
For many years e-CABS has offered a dramatic confidence benefit to emergency braking situations where the machine’s wheels can lock, resulting in a loss of control. But never before has a system been developed that has the necessary refinement, low weight and performance to suit a Super Sports bike like the Fireblade. Until now.
Honda has developed an all-new, lightweight system that benefits the Total Control concept of the entire bike. For a minimal weight increase, the confidence of e-CABS can now be enjoyed by the Super Sports rider who demands the highest performance in every facet of a motorcycle.
