Practice question
What is the typical braking force distribution between the front and rear brakes during a straight-line emergency stop on dry asphalt, and why?
- 100% rear brake / 0% front brake, because the front brake must never be used on a motorcycle
- Approximately 70% front / 30% rear (or up to 80–90% front), because dynamic weight transfer shifts motorcycle mass forward onto the front tire contact patch
- 50% front / 50% rear under all braking conditions regardless of deceleration rate
- 10% front / 90% rear to prevent front tire wear
Answer: B — Approximately 70% front / 30% rear (or up to 80–90% front), because dynamic weight transfer shifts motorcycle mass forward onto the front tire contact patch
