How can you improve your braking technique?

Using both the front and rear brakes together is the most effective way to improve your braking technique while riding a motorcycle. This method allows for a balanced distribution of braking force, which enhances stability and control throughout the stop. The front brake primarily provides the majority of stopping power, as it is responsible for a significant portion of the bike's weight when slowing down. However, using the rear brake in conjunction with the front helps prevent the bike from pitching forward too aggressively and reduces the chance of skidding, especially on slippery surfaces.

When combining both brakes, riders can manage their stopping distance more effectively and respond better to varying road conditions, whether they are wet, uneven, or adequately paved. This technique is essential for providing better overall control of the motorcycle and ensuring a safe and smooth stop.
