Correct answer
- Aes más difícil que se bloquee la rueda trasera.the rear wheel is less likely to lock.
Explanation
The passenger's weight loads the rear of the motorcycle, and when braking that wheel keeps more contact with the road and more grip, so the rear wheel is less likely to lock. Even so, braking distances increase with a heavier load.
