Honda’s CBS Technology Is Now Trusted By Over One Crore Indians

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) had introduced the CBS with Equalizer technology to the Indian two-wheeler market in March 2009. And now, after seven years, it is an occasion for Honda to celebrate as the technology has been accepted by no less than one crore Indians families. Apart from the success in the Indian market, Honda two-wheelers have been equipped with the CBS with Equalizer technology for over 30 years in the global market.

Commenting on the occasion, Keita Muramatsu, president & CEO, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, said: “Honda is leading innovation in technology that gives an extra edge to our two-wheeler customers worldwide. We are the first 2wheeler manufacturer worldwide to introduce dual clutch transmission system, airbag system in our production motorcycle models, advanced technologies like idle stop system introduced 15 years ago. I am proud to share that the Combi Brake System with Equalizer introduced over 30 years ago have brought smiles to over 1 crore Indians and more. Earlier also, Honda 2Wheelers India has introduced technological innovations like Honda Eco Technology, CLIC mechanism and tuff-up tubes. We are committed to introduce innovative advanced technology that realize the dream of ‘Mobility for everyone.” 

With Honda’s CBS with Equalizer technology, on the application of rear brake, the system automatically also applies the front brake while the Equalizer technology proportionally distributes the braking force to both wheels. The main benefits of this system are reduced braking distance and improved balance, thus allow the rider to be more confident when braking.

Currently, out of Honda’s wide product portfolio, the Combi Brake System with Equalizer technology is available in five scooter models, namely - Activa 3G, Activa i, Dio, Aviator and Activa 125 and four motorcycle models- CB Shine, CB Shine SP, CB Unicorn 160, CB Hornet 160R.
