Reflex Linked Brakes
« on: June 03, 2014, 04:04:47 PM »

So with the new brake system can I trail brake with the rear only in a curve with OUT any front brake? I suspect not and I do not really like this loss of driver control.

Even though I don't have a '14, I'm curious how the system works for trail braking, as I use the rear brake frequently to "set" the chassis.

The linked aspect of the brakes are disabled below 20-25 miles and hour.

Yes you can trail brake with the 14 linked system.

Good to hear and I do it most in very tight slow speed down hill curves. I want to have some brake just barely applied but none at all on the front. Looks like I am good to go. Thanks fellows.

although if you do it at 35 or 40 as you are just into a curve the front forks will dive and it will not make you look too good going around the corner...
