EngineEdit

The engine was a Liquid cooled cooled Four stroke, transverse four cylinder, DOHC, 4 valve per cylinder.. The engine featured a 12.2:1 compression ratio.

DriveEdit

Power was moderated via the Cable-operated multiplate wet clutch..

ChassisEdit

It came with a 120/70 ZR17 front tire and a 180/55 ZR17 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via 2x 310mm discs 4 piston calipers in the front and a Single 220mm disc 1 piston caliper in the rear. The front suspension was a 41mm inverted Big Piston Fork with spring preload, rebound and compression damping adjustability while the rear was equipped with a Unit Pro-Link HMAS single shock with spring preload, rebound and compression damping adjustability;. The CBR600RR C-ABS was fitted with a 18.2 liters / 4.8 gal fuel tank. The bike weighed just 156.5 kg / 345 lbs. The wheelbase was 1369 mm / 53.9 in long.


2012 Honda CBR 600 RR C-ABSEdit

With the 2011 Honda CBR600RR carrying on the acclaimed heritage of the middleweight supersport series, it was only natural that an even better-prepared version was offered and this time it was the Combined ABS which made the difference. The new braking system brought together the proven reliability and efficiency of the Honda CBS and the anti-lock performance for shorter stopping distance and enhanced safety.

With a very compact design, and short wheelbase, handling is impeccable, making the 2011 Honda CBR600RR C-ABS a bike suitable for both track weekends and for commuting. And with the Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD) and the Unit-Pro-Link rear damper, stability under extreme conditions was also enhanced.

OverviewEdit

Honda has a new electronically controlled combined ABS system for super sport motorcycles. ABS is something that we are usually more comfortable seeing on a touring bike or any bike ridden in a less aggressive manner. When rider control of braking inputs is critical, as it is in any high speed environment, the thought of any ABS system taking control at the wrong moment can make a rider just a wee bit uneasy. This “brake by wire” system uses electronic control of the brakes for “Combined ABS” and looks like it is aimed at not upsetting the balance, precisely monitoring input on both levers to generate braking force to both wheels accordingly. Honda press release: Honda has announced the world’s first electronically-controlled “Combined ABS” for Super Sport motorcycles, aimed at combining ABS and CBS systems into one system that applies the basic advantages of both, while specifically addressing the requirements of a Super Sport context. In order to achieve this, the particular characteristics of Super Sport bikes, such as short wheelbase, are taken into account. The system also operates without interference to sports riding, and with an emphasis on maintaining full rider control. The system consists of an electronically controlled combined “brake by wire” system with an innovative stroke simulator. Direct motor control ensures precise operation of the ABS. The components are divided into several smaller units so there are more, but smaller units than in previous systems.


The system’s effectiveness is due to four main factors: 1. Electronic control of the CBS, allowing more advanced control of brake force. This provides a more sensitive distribution of brake force over both wheels. 2, Measurement of rider input force on each lever. The ideal brake force on both wheels is generated accordingly, providing optimum distribution and minimizing vehicle body reaction. 3. An “ABS modulator” which ensures late triggering of ABS, and smooth ABS intervention. 4. Small size meaning that the system’s components can be well integrated in the motorcycle’s package. Thus mass-centralisation, a key feature for Super Sport bikes, is supported. All the basic ABS and CBS functions are provided, including the prevention of wheel lock, improved balance and easy operation. This is achieved without any compromise to stability during ABS operation. Pitching is minimized so that the bike keeps its normal position. Overall, sport riding performance is uninterrupted - cornering feel remains the same and controllability is enhanced.
