Braking properly on a motorcycle is one of the most important tasks<\/strong> that we must carry out when we start in the world of two wheels. Today we explain the correct way to avoid surprises.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

How to brake correctly on a motorcycle<\/h2>\n

Our motorcycles have brakes on both wheels but this does not imply that both brake in the same way. We have to take into account that when braking on a motorcycle it is the front brake that will act as the main brake<\/strong> to know how to brake on a motorcycle. <\/p>\n

This means that our front brake will absorb a large amount of energy when braking<\/strong>, so we must always have it ready<\/a>. On the other hand, although current motorcycles include an ABS<\/a> system<\/strong> that prevents the brake from locking, it is important that we control the force we apply on it,<\/strong> as we can lose steering if we lock it (especially on older motorcycles). <\/p>\n

The rear brake<\/strong>, on the other hand, fulfills a fundamental function, maintaining braking balance<\/strong>. Both brakes together ensure that braking is in a straight line and that both axles follow a trajectory.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Correct braking requires that we brake slightly at the rear before applying the brakes at the front. <\/strong>This will ensure that the bike does not lift too much from the rear and that braking is balanced.<\/p>\n

It is important that our braking be smooth and progressive,<\/strong> although sometimes, for reasons of necessity, we may brake more sharply.<\/p>\n

How to brake when it rains?<\/h2>\n

When faced with slippery surfaces , we must change our approach to braking<\/strong>. We must increase our anticipation time and brake progressively.<\/strong> By doing this we avoid losing grip and losing control of our motorcycle. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
