How to Brake a Motorcycle?

[AvaAnn]

First, release the throttle and straighten the bike body. Use the front brake as the main braking force and the rear brake as supplementary. Apply the rear brake first, then the front brake, while utilizing engine braking. Avoid locking the brakes completely; allow the wheels to rotate slightly to prevent skidding and maintain rolling. Of course, the specific braking method should be adjusted according to road and bike conditions. Below are some motorcycle braking techniques: 1. At high speeds, the braking force on the front wheel must be greater than that on the rear wheel. 2. When braking uphill, the front brake can be applied with slightly more force. Since the front wheel is higher than the rear wheel uphill, the front brake can be used more aggressively. 3. When braking downhill, the rear brake can be applied with slightly more force. As the rear wheel is higher than the front wheel downhill, the rear brake can be used more aggressively. 4. During emergency braking, apply a braking force slightly less than the lock-up point. Once the tires lock up, friction decreases. The maximum friction occurs just before the tires lock up, at the critical point.
