What is the Honda Combi Brake System?
The most efficient way of braking is to apply the front and rear brakes simultaneously. But it is a practice, most two-wheeler riders have not mastered.Combi brake means that the brake will act on front and rear wheel together every time you apply the brakes. This means a lot of improved safety.
How does the Honda Combi Brake System Enhance Safety?
In two wheelers (scooters and bikes), there are two separate brake controls for front and rear wheels.Most of two-wheeler riders apply only rear wheel brake, or use only rear brake in most of the cases. However for most effective braking and stopping in small distance safely without loosing control, both front and rear brakes should be used together. Most people fear using front brakes too much because if you press them too hard, the scooter/bike may skid and the rider will fall badly.
Honda Combi Brake system applies the front-brakes in the correct amount whenever rear brakes are applied. This applies both brakes when you apply only rear one. This means that the scooter rider need not worry about using front brakes, they will be used in correct amount automatically when the rear brakes are used. See the image above, the highlighted green area shows how they have put an extra-cable to brake lever control of Honda-Activa 2009 to make combi-brakes work.
Advantages :-

It ensures that rider with low expertise is also confident while braking.
Simultaneous application of Front and Rear Brake leads to the most effective braking.
