Are the Brakes on My Suzuki Khyber Reliable for Emergency Stops?

Many Khyber users report that the braking system feels weak o r delayed, especially during sudden stops o r on slippery roads. Since the car doesn’t come with ABS Anti-lock Braking System, the wheels can lock under hard braking, which increases the risk of skidding. Old brake pads, air in the brake lines, o r weak brake boosters are also common issues.

The Suzuki Khyber comes with a basic braking system—front disc and rear drum brakes without ABS. This means that during emergency braking, especially on wet roads, the wheels can lock and skid, leading to loss of control.

Common issues include:

Worn brake pads o r shoes

Brake fluid leaks o r air in brake lines

Weak brake booster, causing a “hard” pedal

Safety Tips:

Regularly inspect and replace brake pads and shoes.

Change brake fluid every 1–2 years.

Consider upgrading to better-quality brake components.

Learn threshold braking techniques since ABS is not available.
