2003 Honda ST1300A[edit | edit source]
For riders looking for extra security, Honda prepared an ABS version of the 2002 ST1300. The ST1300A brings the enhanced stability of the anti-locking bakes, with shorter stopping distances and more peace of mind in emergency scenarios.
The ABS works in conjunction with the existing Linked Brakes System (LBS), which balances the stopping power when only one of the levers is being used. Lighter but sturdier brake rotors are being used for less unsprung weight and dependable stopping force.
