Braking News

I was looking at the Triumph site and under Genuine Parts it gave the list below. The 5th line got my attention as it made reference to ABS. Have they put ABS brakes on the new R3's and didn't tell anyone? Maybe ABS means something else?





Brake Pads

• Impressive Stopping Power
• Class Leading Initial bite, power and fade
• Proven reliability
• Safeguard against brake judder and premature disc wear
• Integral to the performance of Triumph ABS

ABS is an existing, extra cost option on the 1050 ST sport tourer. Have not seen anything yet relative to the Rocket Jamie

What is 'brake judder'??

Must be a new buzzword. Wonder if they mean brake shudder?

I guess you could take it to mean utterly juddering while shuddering.

If it ain't got a tone ring, it anin't got ABS.

Judder: To shake rapidly or spasmodically; vibrate conspicuously.

Looked like some interesting quick shots of a few models on the 2-hour Las Vegas premier.

If Triumph would use such verbiage, you know it's got to be right
I had to look up verbage; I didn't know I'd been misspelling it all these years.

It says that about the brake pads because the R3, Sprint ST (normal or ABS), and Tiger 9 normal or ABS) all use the same exact pads.
