With that being said, what I really liked is how neatly and quickly the RS200 turns into corners. The steering is very responsive, and the slightly modified construction and compound of the MRFs that the RS was riding on makes a world of difference. The lean angles that the bike can manage would’ve been really difficult with the default suspension setting had it not been for the confidence that the tyres offer - both front and rear. The brakes now - the RS200 is offered in two trims: ABS, and non-ABS. I was on the saddle of the ABS version the whole time, so please pardon me for being unable to tell you any functional attributes of the non-ABS variant. The ABS offered is a single-channel system - that means only the front wheel gets ABS equipped braking.
While you don’t quite feel the ABS working in regular riding situations, it’s more prominent in emergency or panic episodes. Under hard braking, the front did keep its line and the brake bite was sufficiently effective. I’d have liked more feedback from the lever though. But it’s the rear where things get a bit eerie. While going full angry on the anchors, the rear end tends slide - that’s not what I expected one bit! It was really unnerving the first few times, but then it became fun and I did that a few times just for the heck of it - that’s definitely not recommended.
