    Does anyone else read EnduroExtreme mag? They have a small writeup this months on Husqvarna's new Anti-lock Braking System specifically for off road. The test bike is a TE449 and after reading the articular, it sounds like it's a hit. Now it won't be for everyone and I don't see myself running out and buying a new bike with ABS brakes. But maybe for a newer rider it would definitely be a confidence booster. They say it was not designed for competition. And was more for the 'hobby rider'. As long as it has an on/off switch and doesn't add to much to the SMRP...it might be a good thing. Glad to see Husqvarna trying something new.:thumbsup:
