Trike braking distance

[Phu Cat]

Is it my imagination or does anybody else think your trike stops faster than your old bike?

Mine will stop real good better then when it had 2 wheels. Since I have riden it both ways since new I know for sure.

With 3 tires and actually 4 times the amount of rubber on the road you will definately
stop in a shorter distance on a trike. ThumbUp

Not with the crappy rear brakes on my stock TriGlide!

 

[SEABILL]

I think it stops faster. I know it stops with a whole lot less drama.

 

[Oldmsocko]

I do believe the Trike stops faster.

Hope I'm never in a position to find out!

Not with my 11 T/G, Love the Trike, But not the Brakes.
Every bike i had would stop in a shorter distance than the/my T/G.
Had to alter my riding style.:Shrug:

My Motor Trike stops very good, better than 2 wheels anyday. the only problem is hydroplaning on wet roads, under those conditions you better brake sooner than on dry roads. The wider tires than Tri Glides have an adverce affect when the road is cupped from lots of traffic and ponding water, this is very dangerous and should be avoided like riding next to a teanager texting. I do not like the Tri Glide except for the really nice paint Harley has now.
