Info on HD New Braking System.
Just thought having the termology for the types of braking systems would be useful. Can start a new thread if it would be useful/
This is for the 2020 models; however ABS, DSCS and Traction Control is also on the 2019 models.
General information and discussion about the newest tech HD is offering. RDRS is much more than [I]just[/I] traction control (see even more details in the link at the bottom). "Reflex™ Defensive Rider Systems (RDRS) is a new collection of technology designed to match motorcycle performance to available traction during acceleration, deceleration and braking. The systems are designed to aid the rider in controlling the vehicle while accelerating and braking in a straight line or while in a turn. A rider may find the systems most helpful when riding in adverse road conditions and in urgent situations. The systems are electronic and utilize the latest electronic brake controls and powertrain technology. The features of RDRS are bundled together except where noted. RDRS features are standard on all 2020 LiveWire™, CVO™, Police and [URL="http://i.viglink.com/?key=6f8bd0ba1a21b0f81078ce8dd32fe46c&insertId=858fe6008c69be21&type=H&exp=60%3ACI1C55A%3A12&libId=jzjxlzy401000axp000DAheai4drm&loc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hdforums.com%2Fforum%2Fgeneral-harley-davidson-chat%2F1297666-reflex-defensive-rider-systems.html%23post18488623&v=1&iid=858fe6008c69be21&opt=true&out=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB01GT4COOA&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hdforums.com%2Fforum%2Fsearch.php%3Fsearchid%3D47495500&title=Reflex%20Defensive%20Rider%20Systems%20-%20Harley%20Davidson%20Forums&txt=%3Cspan%3ETrike%20%3C%2Fspan%3E%3Cspan%3Emodels%3C%2Fspan%3E"]Trike models[/URL] and optional on all 2020 Touring models in the U.S. (except Electra Glide® Standard Model)."

[*][B][U]ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)[/U][/B]
[LIST=1]
[*]Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent the wheels from locking under braking and helps the rider maintain control when braking in a straight-line, urgent situation.
[*]ABS is standard on MY20 LiveWire™, CVO™, Touring, Police, Trike and select Softail® models; and optional on all MY20 Street™, Sportster® and remaining Softail® models.
[/LIST]
[*][U][B]CORNERING ENHANCED ABS (C-ABS)[/B][/U]
[LIST=1]
[*]Cornering Enhanced ABS (C-ABS) is a variant of ABS that is designed to balance braking and cornering loads at the tire contact patch while under combined cornering and braking.
[*]C-ABS is standard on MY20 LiveWire™, CVO™, Police and Trike models and optional on all MY20 Touring models in the U.S. (except FLHT)
[/LIST]
[*][U][B]ELECTRONIC LINKED BRAKING (ELB)[/B][/U]
[LIST=1]
[*]Electronic Linked Braking (ELB) applies braking effort to both wheels when the rider uses either the hand lever (front) or [URL="http://i.viglink.com/?key=6f8bd0ba1a21b0f81078ce8dd32fe46c&insertId=45a80946cf0ed349&type=L&exp=-1%3Ana%3A0&libId=jzju3u5l01000axp000DAgazaef8i&loc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hdforums.com%2Fforum%2Fgeneral-harley-davidson-chat%2F1290936-2020-rumor-thread-7.html%23post18488293&v=1&iid=45a80946cf0ed349&opt=true&out=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch-ng.do%3Fsearch_query%3Dbrake%2Bpedal%26Find%3DFind%26search_constraint%3D91083&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hdforums.com%2Fforum%2Fnewreply.php%3Fdo%3Dnewreply%26p%3D18488228&title=2020%20Rumor%20Thread%20-%20Page%207%20-%20Harley%20Davidson%20Forums&txt=%3Cspan%3Efoot%20%3C%2Fspan%3E%3Cspan%3Epedal%3C%2Fspan%3E"]foot pedal[/URL] (rear) brake control, which can help riders achieve better braking performance.
[*]ELB is standard on all MY20 Touring and Trike models.
[/LIST]
[*][U][B]CORNERING ENHANCED ELECTRONIC LINKED BRAKING (C-ELB)[/B][/U]
[LIST=1]
[*]Cornering Enhanced Electronic Linked Braking (C-ELB) takes into account the motorcycle lean angle or Trike lateral acceleration. C-ELB will alter the proportioning of brake pressure between the front and rear brakes when braking while cornering in an attempt to improve the ability of the motorcycle to maintain the rider’s intended path.
[*]C-ELB is standard on all MY20 CVO™, Police and Trike models and optional on all MY20 Touring models in the U.S. (except FLHT).
[/LIST]
[*][B][U]CORNERING ENHANCED TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (C-TCS)[/U][/B]
[LIST=1]
[*]Traction control is designed to keep the rear wheel from "spinning out" when the motorcycle is accelerating while leaning, and enhances rider control and confidence, especially in wet weather.
[*]C-TCS is standard on all MY20 LiveWire™, CVO™, Police and Trike models and optional on all MY20 Touring models in the U.S. (except FLHT)
[/LIST]
[*][B][U]DRAG-TORQUE SLIP CONTROL SYSTEM (DSCS)[/U][/B]
[LIST=1]
[*]Drag-Torque Slip Control (DSCS) is designed to reduce excessive rear-wheel slip under deceleration, which typically occurs when the rider makes an abrupt down-shift gear change or decelerates on wet or slippery road surfaces.
[*]DSCS is standard on all MY20 CVO™, Police and Trike models and optional on all MY20 Touring models in the U.S. (except FLHT).
[/LIST]
[*][U][B]CORNERING ENHANCED DRAG-TORQUE SLIP CONTROL SYSTEM (C-DSCS)[/B][/U]

[*]On models equipped with C-DSCS the action of DSCS may be tailored when cornering, based on detected lean angle.
[*]C-DSCS is standard on all MY20 LiveWire™ models.
[/LIST]
[*][U][B]VEHICLE HOLD CONTROL (VHC)[/B][/U]
[LIST=1]
[*]The primary function of VHC is to use brake pressure to keep the motorcycle from rolling, making it easier to ride away when starting on a hill, a bridge or a parking ramp.
[*][I]VHC is not intended as a substitute for a parking brake in any situation.[/I]
[*]This feature is standard on MY20 CVO™ and Police models and optional on all MY20 Touring models in the U.S. (except FLHT).
