Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

On long descending slopes, it is essential to use engine braking by selecting low gears. This technique helps to hold back the motorcycle without overusing the mechanical brakes. In this way, overheating of the braking system, known as brake fade, which could cause a dangerous loss of braking efficiency, is avoided.
