Actuating the brakes
Brakes are there to control speed, not only to stop the bike. The maximum braking power of the
wheels is available just before the wheels "lock" (stop) and then skid. As soon as the tyre skids, you
lose most of the braking power as well as any control over the bike. You need to practice braking and
stopping smoothly and without locking the wheels. This technique is known as progressive brake
modulation.
Your bike is equipped with a front wheel brake and a rear wheel brake. The function of the left brake
lever here is for the front wheel brake and that of the right brake lever for the rear wheel brake.
Pull the brake lever towards the handlebar and gradually increase the braking force.
When you feel the wheel starting to lock, reduce the braking force so that the wheel can just con-
tinue to turn and not lock.
