Abstract
A braking system for two-wheelers is provided with a normal-duty actuation member which acts on both a front braking assembly and a rear braking assembly, and with an emergency actuation member which acts on one only of said braking assemblies; means are provided for balancing the actuation force applied by the normal-duty actuation member and the actuation force applied by the emergency actuation member on the common braking assembly, which enable the greater of the two braking actions to be applied as the braking action, for the purpose of preventing the jamming, and hence the skidding of the vehicle wheel on which such common braking assembly acts.
