Along with the standard 2010 VT1300CS Sabre, the Japanese maker made another bike version that packed an additional Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), enhancing its safety and control over various road conditions and surfaces.
Compared to the standard model, the ABS version featured the same appearance, specifications, and 1,312cc V-twin powerplant fed by a Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system that delivered strong acceleration and impressive torque.
The low, streamlined profile offered a sporty, aggressive look while enhancing its overall performance. At the same time, the pulled-back handlebar and its long, flowing seat provided a comfortable riding position.
In the appearance department, the VT1300CS ABS machine was covered by a dark mist topped by chrome accents and a set of lightweight five-spoke cast aluminum wheels stopped by a 336 mm disc and a two-piston caliper on the front and a 296 mm disc and a single-piston caliper on the rear.
As for suspension, the VT1300CS Sabre ABS had a 45 mm telescopic fork that handled the front side and a five-position spring preload adjustable shock absorber that took care of the rear end.
In the power department, the 2010 Honda VT1300CS Sabre ABS packed the exact power specifications as the standard model, with a 1,312cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine that spun the rear wheel with a force of 74 hp at 5,000 rpm and 123 Nm (91 lb-ft) of torque available at 3,000 rpm.
