Dirt bikes, shorty levers on street bikes, modern motorcycle braking systems, mountain bicycles and road bicycles all suit the two finger braking technique much better. It's also harder to rev match when using four fingers. And on high performance bikes there is a need for finer modulation on the brakes. A ducati 1098 has monobloc brembo brakes up front. I can easily one finger those because they will easily throw the bike up on its nose. |
Today I realized I was actually using two fingers on the brake. Sooooo go me
