Top 5 Budget-Friendly Dual Channel ABS Bikes

Here are the five most affordable bikes with dual-channel ABS: four are from the Bajaj Pulsar lineup, and one is from the TVS Apache range.  
 

Safety has become an important factor influencing potential customers' purchasing decisions. For two-wheelers, the most important safety feature is the anti-lock braking system (ABS). Essentially, this electronic system helps the vehicle maintain balance and stability by preventing the wheels from locking completely during sudden braking.  
 

Although still rare on scooters, ABS has become standard on motorcycles. There are two types of ABS: single-mode and two-mode. Single-channel ABS maximises safety by working only on the front wheels, while dual-channel ABS extends these benefits to the front and rear wheels.
