The ABS pipes can be divided into three sections:

- rigid connecting pipes from the ABS control unit to the front and rear flexible pipes. The rear brake pipes are divided into two sections, for fitting requirements, and they are protected by a special shield in the section exposed to the risk of damage.

- flexible connecting pipes between the rigid pipes and the brake calipers.

The rigid and flexible pipes are secured to the bodyshell by means of special brackets and/or fastening springs.
