Understanding your motorcycle's brake | Disc Brake

Today’s motorcycles and cars are equipped with a very efficient braking system. They are so efficient that your vehicle stops safely, within a fraction of a second, in the case of an emergency. You pull the brake lever, the brake fluid, near to the lever gets compressed. Via a brake line this compressed fluid is directly connected to the brake pad, so the brake pads are activated. This braking system that you just saw was developed over the last five decades of research and practical experiences. Let’s learn how engineers developed such an efficient braking system, or more specifically, let’s learn the interesting physics behind disc brakes.

Brave woman. She is just as calm even when her car is sliding. 👍🏼

"A fraction of a second"

That dude is breaking the laws of physics.

When i was a child, I thought some small rods will get inserted in to the holes of the rotating disc, there by stopping the bike

I ride a scootie with drum brakes. No clutch system, both are brakes. When riding I keep the rear brake slightly pressed, heating it up. When i hit both brakes during emergency, the front brake is more efficient and this causes a spin or drift and has caused me lots of injuries until I understood the workings of brakes and net torque. Thank you for educating us, saving lives.

Dude I wish my bike stopped like that when there are logs in the road...

I am grateful for the Disc brakes in my bike because they have saved me numerous times from emergency situation!

[MrDejast]

Yeah I always ride on the double yellow line . More friction on the paint, especially when wet. Ha Ha.

I use my old shoes.
They work pretty well for.slowong me down within 3 miles of my intended stopping point.

My dad once got into a terrible accident as a truck driver because his truck would always jerk to the side when he hit the brakes. This one time, someone cut in front of him, so he really slammed on the brakes. The entire truck flipped over and landed on it's side. He could've died. Luckily, he only had a few cuts and scrapes, and nobody else was injured. I never understood what he meant when he said there was something wrong with the brakes but now I do! So thanks for sharing this lol.

Disc brakes and abs are truly a revolutionary and life saviour machanism

[Arstvlog]

Excellent explanation & graphics 👌🏻👍🏻👌🏻

[TaskSwitcherify]

Your vehicle stops "within a fraction of a second"? Hardly. Good video, though!

[diyengineeringprojects]

why do people even dislike your videos, such an excellent animation with great explanation, plus you guys deserve more subs

[pranabmajumder]

The perfect channel to get knowledge of engineering for us who are non techis... Thank you very much dear author.... Keep it up .. very good job

[TheRadFactor]

The animation in the video makes it easy to understand the points. Great effort. Much appreciated.

[ssaraswati]

Anyone can easily understand by seeing this video.I really love the way explanation is given, it's not at not all boring👍😀

[apurba_debnath]

Youtube algorithm just work wonders!! Today morning, I randomly thought about how disc brakes work...now in the evening when I opened youtube, this video was recommended to me. Nice explanation of the concept. Subscribed :)

The best way to get to know a motorcycle or how its parts work is by riding it. I would recommend riding a dirt bike (off-road motorcycle) for many years before ever switching over to street only motorcycle. Many riders no longer with us who's first bike was a street only bike.

[dr.zahirali]

your channel should hit more than 10 million subscriber. I wish that will happen soon.

All I know is, this sophisticated system installed on my bike has saved me many times. 😄
