Actually it's not on all bikes. ABS does effect rear wheel on a lot of bikes, but it effects the front much more than the rear. There are some that try and prevent rear lock from ever occuring. It varies a lot. As I said, my BMW does effect the rear wheel. You go slam on the rear in the mud and you definitely notice it having an effect. Which is why I and most of the 12GS riders turn them off in the dirt.
