Questions Learners Have About A2 Downhill Braking

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising A2 Downhill Braking, including how questions match the official theory exam in the Netherlands, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

Why is engine braking so important when riding a motorcycle downhill?

Engine braking helps slow your motorcycle by using the engine's resistance, reducing reliance on your service brakes. This prevents them from overheating and losing effectiveness, which is crucial for maintaining control on long or steep descents.

How can I prevent my brakes from overheating on a steep decline?

To prevent brake overheating, primarily use engine braking by downshifting to a lower gear. Only apply your service brakes (front and rear) intermittently and lightly to manage speed, rather than continuously dragging them.

What is dynamic axle load displacement in motorcycle braking?

Dynamic axle load displacement refers to the shift of weight to the front wheel when you apply the front brake. This increases grip on the front tire, allowing for more effective braking. It's important to apply the front brake gently at first ('aanzetten') to achieve this effect before applying more pressure.

Should I use my front or rear brake more when descending on a motorcycle?

While both brakes are important, the front brake provides approximately 80% of a motorcycle's total braking power. On a descent, a combination is often best, but rely more on engine braking and use the front brake smoothly and progressively, especially after light initial application.

Can I use the rear brake in a slow, sharp turn while going downhill?

Yes, in a sharp, slow turn, you can maintain a bit of throttle and use the rear brake to control your speed, helping to keep the motorcycle stable and allowing for a more controlled, fluid turn. This technique helps manage your speed without losing power.
