When a motorcycle leans into a turn, a significant portion of the tire's available grip is already used for cornering forces. Applying brakes, especially the front brake, adds longitudinal forces that can quickly exceed the remaining traction, leading to a slide or loss of control. It requires a delicate balance of forces.
Generally, it's safer to use the rear brake very lightly when leaned, or to straighten the bike slightly before applying the front brake. The front brake provides about 80% of stopping power but is much more prone to locking the wheel when the bike is not upright. The safest approach is to brake before turning or straighten up first if possible.
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) helps prevent wheel lock-up during heavy braking, which can be particularly beneficial when leaned. It allows you to maintain some steering control. However, ABS does not guarantee a shorter braking distance and cannot defy the laws of physics regarding available traction; you can still exceed the grip limits even with ABS if braking too aggressively while heavily leaned.
If an urgent situation demands braking mid-corner, the ideal technique is to gently ease off the throttle, slightly reduce your lean angle (stand the bike up slightly if possible), and then progressively apply both brakes, favoring the front brake once the bike is more upright. Looking far ahead to where you want to go helps maintain stability.
Yes, especially if the front brake is applied too forcefully when the wheel is not aligned in the direction of travel (i.e., when the bike is leaned or steered). The front wheel can easily block, leading to a loss of control and a fall. This is a critical risk highlighted in Dutch driving theory for motorcycles.
By completing Braking While Leaning (A), you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in the Netherlands.
