Abstract

Three studies are describes in which motorcyclists rode motorcycles equipped with separated front and rear brakes and with integrated brakes and carried out braking tests. Because accident investigations have shown that motorcyclists only used the front brake with the rear (foot) brake about half the time and often modulated the brakes .ineffectively, crashes of motorcyclists may be reduced in severity by integrated brakes.
