Specification Reason

With ABS Motorcycle does not stop immediately/ can be controlled if direction
changes/ does not move side ways / more friction with ABS.

Bigger with of tyre Bigger surface area, better support / low pressure acts on the tyres/
more friction when breaks.

Smaller mass Lighter, can move faster / low inertia.

Lower seat height Lower centre of gravity/ more stable/ safer when turn.

Choose racing bike C It has ABS, bigger width of tyre, smaller mass, lowest seat height.
