Nice packed snow over ice here lately, and low-traffic rural roads, so I've been doing some "panic stops" (4 wheel lock ups). From all I've read and heard, I expected pedal pulsing at least, and maybe weird noises and shuddering .

But lock-up stops at speeds from 30 to 50 mph were silent, except for the sliding noise from 4 studded snows. There was no perceptible Left/Right yaw. Just a nice, controllable drift to the right due, I think, to road camber (the flatter the road, the less the drift).

I love it — whether the ABS works or not.

Any opinions?
