What is a linked braking system and how does it work?

What will be an ideal response?


Linked braking systems are designed to link the front and rear brakes together so that the rider gets braking action from both brakes even though he is only stepping on the rear brake pedal or only squeezing the brake lever. It works by operating the center piston of the rear caliper and the center piston of the front caliper when the operator applies the rear brake. When the rider applies the front brake the out two pistons in the front caliper are actuated and the outer piston of the rear caliper is controlled by a secondary master cylinder that is activated by centrifugal force.
