![]() The rotational force of the rear wheel automatically modulates the front brake, to ensure safe and smooth braking. The forward force of the sliding pad pulls a cable to engage the front brake, alleviating the need for a front brake lever. As the rear brake is applied from a single lever, the force from the rear wheel slides the pad forward. The forward force of the sliding pad pulls a cable to engage the front brake, alleviating the need for a front brake lever.
