Hydraulic brakes are common on trial bikes, as they provide greater control and precision when braking, which is essential in this discipline. In most cases, trials bikes have hydraulic disc brakes on both wheels. The hydraulic brake system works through the action of a brake fluid that is in a closed circuit that connects the brake lever with the brake piston. When the brake lever is depressed, a force is exerted that compresses the brake fluid, which causes the piston to move and apply braking to the brake disc. Hydraulic brakes offer greater stopping power and greater sensitivity to touch, allowing the trials rider to adjust the braking force more precisely.
In addition, hydraulic brakes typically require less maintenance than conventional brakes, since they don't rely on cables that can wear out or stretch over time. However, it is important to ensure that the brake system is in good condition and that the brake fluid is changed regularly to ensure optimal performance.
Front Brake: The front brake is the primary brake on a trials bike. Trial bikes are usually equipped with disc brakes on the front wheel. Disc brakes offer higher braking performance and are more efficient in wet or muddy conditions.
Rear brake: The rear brake is also essential on a motorcycle trial. Most trials bikes have either a drum brake or a disc brake on the rear wheel. The rear brake helps control speed and provides stability when descending steep inclines.
