An airbrake is a brake which is operated pneumatically, or a moving part of an aircraft's wing used to reduce lift and airspeed.

Do you need a CDL license to drive a 25500 GVW truck with air brakes?

A Class B CDL is required to operate a single vehicle (no trailer) commercially if it has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating in excess of 26,000 lbs. An airbrake endorsement for airbrake-equipped vehicles is required if a CDL is required. A vehicle with a GVWR of 25,500 lbs. and not operated while exceeding 26,000 lbs. requires no CDL. If a CDL is not required, no airbrake endorsement is required.

Can you take a CDL road test in a truck without air brakes and still not get air brake restriction?

No. If you want a CDL without the "no airbrake vehicles" restriction, you must complete and pass the written air brakes test, and you must perform the road test in an air brake equipped vehicle appropriate to the class of licence you are applying for. There are no exceptions to this rule, and it does not vary between states - CDLs are federally administered, and their regulation is a matter of federal law.
