Definitely a false statement. The EVO brakes and accompanying servo assisted iABS were introduced for model year 2001. They are easily recognized as having the 320mm size front discs versus the older non-servo assisted ABS (and non-ABS) bikes that had 305mm discs.

Basically, every BMW from model year 2001 on has 320mm discs in the front and every BMW with those 320mm discs that has ABS has servos, until model year 2006-2007 (depending on the model) where they abandoned the servos for the upgraded non-servo assisted iABS2 that is still the norm for most BMW models. But that's not applicable for the R1100S since that bike was last produced in 2005.
