as tigger said below... every review I've read about it says NO SURGING... and it doesn't kick in until the last possible moment... so other than the tire not locking up... it's completely un noticeable... though Phi Sig said he did notice it kick on... but didn't say how... so I don't think it was anything that would bug ya

it is a linked system... but it's an ACTIVE linked system... meaning if you jam on the brake... it activates BOTH brakes to slow you down.. but adjusts them so they don't lock up... so as you brake the back brake comes on fully to "squat" the motorcycle... along with the front brake... as you continue to brake the ratio of back brake to full brake changes.. the rear brake is let up to stop a rear tire skid...

not something I'd think you'd want on the track... but on the street I think it'd be fine...
