Abstract
A brake assembly for a motorcycle provided with a hydraulically actuated front brake and rear brake for a front wheel and a rear wheel, respectively, including a first brake actuating device and a second brake actuating device, for applying hydraulically pressure to the front and rear brakes; and an electronically controlled braking system, having a first hydraulic system extending from the first brake actuating device connected to the front brake, and a second hydraulic system extending from the second brake actuating device, connected to the rear brake, with an electronic control device receiving detection values for each of the first actuation amount detection device for detecting an actuation amount of the first brake actuating device, and a second actuation amount detection device for detecting an actuation amount of the second brake actuating device, subjecting them to computation, and outputting control signals to a hydraulically controlled actuator based on the result of the computation, and actuating the front brake or the rear brake using the hydraulically controlled actuator in accordance with the control signals.
