¿Sobre qué rueda se desplaza principalmente el peso de la motocicleta al frenar?

When braking, which wheel does the motorcycle's weight mainly shift onto?

  • ASobre la rueda trasera.The rear wheel.
  • BSobre las dos ruedas, repartiéndose el peso siempre entre ambas ruedas de forma homogénea.Both wheels, with the weight always shared equally between them.
  • CSobre la rueda delantera.The front wheel.
Show answer

Correct answer

  • CSobre la rueda delantera.The front wheel.
Explanation

When braking, inertia shifts the motorcycle's weight forwards, so the front wheel carries most of the load and has the most braking power. That is why the weight is never shared equally between the two wheels.
