  • Publication number: 20240123956
    Abstract: To provide a brake system for a saddled vehicle that suppresses the speed at which the vehicle transitions to a front-dropping posture, thereby enhancing the driver's sense of security. A brake system for a saddled vehicle includes a control device exerting automatic control over a brake fluid pressure of a brake according to various information, and a pitch angular velocity detector for detecting a pitch angular velocity of the vehicle according to an output of a pitch angular velocity detection unit. When the pitch angular velocity becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value while the control device is gradually increasing the brake fluid pressure of the front-wheel brake by the automatic control, the control device reduces a degree of increase in the brake fluid pressure or maintains the brake fluid pressure at that time point.
