  • AEl sistema de freno delantero.The front brake system.
  • BEl sistema de freno trasero.The rear brake system.
  • CAmbos sistemas se desgastarán de la misma forma.Both systems will wear in the same way.
Show answer

Correct answer

  • AEl sistema de freno delantero.The front brake system.
Explanation

The front brake system will wear more when riding because it provides most of the braking force. When braking, the vehicle's weight shifts forwards, which puts more load on the front wheel. So the front brake system is used more often and therefore wears faster than the rear brake system.
