Sorry. To be more specific, I ride Dual Sport/ off road bike. Lots of desert sand and off road trails.

A bit of slip on rear - manageable - on front = death. On m'cycle you decide how the brake is applied... oh well... why didnt they make the controls just like on a motorbike BTW?!? I shoudl have ridden one before I bought lol...

So you have confused me. You wont be happy if they go back to four wheel brakes because it would give you uniform braking?

Well to test when the rear really works, I did hit the rear hard and guess what - actually the left tire locked more than the right and the machine pulled to the left - was a 0.5sec thing on concrete so no probs but... does it not confirm that the solid axle is not really solid, the free plays inside make the left tire lock faster than the right?
Thats why 99% of ATVs only have one rear brake that is not even mounted in the center of the two wheels,but tucked inside one of the two wheel rims. The Sportsmans mounts the brake beside the tranny.

Even Performance racing ATVs only have one back brake,and braking is handy on a race track.
