In India, scootys had always been more popular than bikes. They are a little more convenient to ride because of the fact that there are no gears. Moreover, scootys are perceived as unisex so a lot of people prefer purchasing scooty over a bike. Just like the bikes, the scootys are also becoming safer and this is all because of the additional features like disc brakes. There are scootys that are also available with CBS so they are safer than the versions which only have Disc Brakes. Let us understand what exactly CBS is and then we will look at the list of top 5 CBS Scooty in India.

What is CBS?

CBS (Combi Braking System) is a system that was introduced years ago and what this system does is that when you apply brakes on your scooty, it engages the front and the rear brakes at the same time. The impact of this system is that the stopping distance of the scooty comes down and at the same time, there are fewer chances of slipping if you were ridding at the high speed.

Companies like Yamaha call CBS as UBS which basically stands for the Unified Braking System. UBS is nothing but a different name for CBS. A lot of people confuse CBS with ABS but you must not get confused because they both are different technology. ABS helps you in ensuring that the wheels are not locked when you apply brakes while CBS helps you in distributing the brake force to front and rear brake. Since you have a basic idea of CBS, let us look at the advantages of CBS.

Advantages & Disadvantages of CBS

  • To begin with, CBS brings down the braking distance as the brakes are being applied to both the ends of the scooty. Now, this can prove to be helpful in an emergency situation when you need to stop the scooty immediately.
  • Another advantage of the CBS is that since the brake force is distributed, the chances of locking the wheels are lowered and it offers better handling in case of emergency braking as well. This means that the rider has a lower chance of slipping down.
  • The technology is available with Disc Brakes as well as Drum brakes so you do not have to think much about the options available.
  • We couldn’t find any disadvantages in the system. Even the cost of the CBS is very low so you would not really notice any significant cost change between CBS and non-CBS Models
