What should the position of the motorcycle be in order to achieve optimum effectiveness of braking?
Explanation
Correct answer: Vertical.
The greatest braking effectiveness for a motorcycle is achieved in its upright position, when the tyre has optimum contact with the road surface. The full available grip of the wheels can then be used to reduce speed, as opposed to braking while leaning, which limits grip and risks a loss of stability.
