And, the existing products that are already on sale in the market also need to be equipped with the same safety components from April 2019.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is the best feature among the safety components that improve rider safety. Generally, the ABS prevents the wheels from locking during the braking situations. The ABS improves control over the vehicle and decrease the stopping distance. Due to fear of a locked wheel, riders often don't apply the brake fully even in emergency situations, which contributes to the higher number of crashes. ABS can avoid the accident or reduce collision speed significantly.
