Show answer
Correct answer
- CEl freno delantero.The front brake.
The front brake stops the motorcycle in a clearly shorter distance because most of the braking force is concentrated on the front wheel. When you apply the front brake, the vehicle's weight shifts forwards, which increases the grip of the front wheel on the ground and gives more efficient braking. So the front brake is the most effective one for stopping the motorcycle in a shorter distance.
