Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When making a sharp turn at low speed, the motorcycle's balance is more delicate. If the front brake is applied forcefully in this situation, it is very likely that the steering wheel will lock. This would cause an immediate loss of grip and the displacement of weight towards the outside of the curve. As a result, the driver would lose control, making a fall almost inevitable.
