how abs works

Okey how nc700x manuel Euro models abs Works?
Qustion if i only use front brake does abs Works?
or abs Works just by rear lever?
Or its does not matter.

ABS works for both front and rear brake, no matter which one is used (or both of them).
Not to be mixed up with the NCs single CBS, which links front brake to rear brake actuation (1 of 3 pistons of front caliper will be in effect when rear brake is used).
Rear brake is not linked to front brake actuation, however.

99.999% of the time the ABS isn't doing a damned thing, thank God.

However, in case it starts to work, it will do a very good and accurate job that the rider might want to get prepared for, since those release periods are extremely short. Rider might feel some kind of fork oszillation due to the hard and fast close/open cycles. This Honda ABS will not consider wasting any braking distance, no matter about wet, bumpy or dirty ground. If unsure, try it out.

90% of the time ABS will reduce stopping distances and is a life saver - but on very slippery surfaces ABS can overreact and make stopping distance longer. It's an electronic version of cadence braking - aka ¨when all else fails, pump the brake".

BUT, ABS use on a bike is NOT the same as on a car:

You better know what your ABS brakes CAN'T do!!!

ABS is most definitely not a license to act a fool.

Best thought of as something like an airbag....you don't go around slamming into crap in your car just because you know there's an airbag there. Try to ride so your ABS never activates.

Get used to it, test it, know it, or you might never be able to use the benefits of it in case. Experienced riders will not easily do extreme braking at wet or dirty grounds even in emergency. This needs training and awareness about this system. And it will teach the rider how much of braking is possible even without ABS actuation, which is amazing. A system that is kept in avoidance, will never be used. So, use it! Also, out of technical aspects it makes sense to take care all of the valves are operational.

The Honda ABS will not hit in easily as it was reported from other systems being subject to bad critics. It takes a real hard braking to get it in action even on dubious grounds. It will therefore never disturb the riders feeling for brakes, because you get all you want from your brakes _before_ this ABS gets busy. But it needs to be kept in mind at every ride, that it is there, ready to help out in case of emergency. So, do not set up an avoidance flag in your mind. It would be 100% useless this way.

The best way to think about your ABS is not to think about your ABS.
Use your brakes, don't worry, be happy.

Not to mention the ABS is smarter and more capable than 99.5 % of all riders in 99% of all riding situations, especially in that oh shit moment.

Agree. I had a chance to use it and it gave me more confidence and trust knowing that my ABS works as it should.
