Which brake is more effective on a motorcycle?
- AEl freno trasero.The rear brake.
- BEl freno delantero.The front brake.
- CLos dos frenos son igual de eficaces.Both brakes are equally effective.
Show answer
Correct answer
- BEl freno delantero.The front brake.
Explanation
The front brake is more effective than the rear brake because when braking more weight is put on the front wheel, so more braking force can be applied to it. The rear wheel, on the other hand, becomes lighter, so it tends to lock if we brake hard on it.
