Correct answer

  • AQue en caso de frenada brusca, gracias al sistema abs, disminuye el riesgo de bloqueo en las ruedas.In case of sudden braking, thanks to ABS, the risk of the wheels locking is reduced.
Explanation

ABS on a motorcycle has the advantage of reducing the risk of the wheels locking during sudden braking. This is important because when the wheels lock, the rider loses control of the vehicle and this can lead to an accident. ABS lets the wheels keep turning, which prevents them from locking and allows the rider to keep control of the motorcycle.
