Why do you use front disc and rear drum brakes?In: Motorcycles [Recategorize] |
[Edit] |
[Edit] 
Front brakes provide about 70% of stopping force. Disc brakes have an advantage over drum brakes in that they can provide more stopping force without overheating (and thus loosing their stopping efficiency). I believe drum brake units are less costly to manufacture than disc brakes, so using them on the rear also saves manufacturing costs.
