Are the disc brakes in Aviator really good?
The reason I am asking is - I have heard many stories about disc brakes (I do not have first hand experience, just have heard, so correct me if I am wrong!)
I have heard about people skidding and falling when they apply the disc brakes accidentally on wet roads and the rear brakes are pressed a little late. I heard about this in bikes like Pulsar!
Thought I am a staunch Honda fan, one of the things I do not like about Activa is its road grip on wet roads. I have experienced and seen many Honda riders (both Activa and Dio) skidding and falling on wet roads, even when the vehicle is inclined a little bit, and the brakes are used! I personally feel the road grip was better in Kinetic.
So, are the tires in Aviator capable of handling the vehicle when disc brakes are applied? I believe Honda engineers have more brains than me, and they would have tested this, but I want to get the opinion of people who have driven it (preferably on wet roads or on gravel!) |
