Define Braking distribution?

Braking distribution refers to how the total braking force is divided between a vehicle's front and rear brakes. This distribution is usually biased toward the front brakes because the vehicle's weight shifts forward during braking, increasing the front tires' grip. Proper braking distribution ensures balanced stopping power, maintaining stability and preventing issues like skidding or loss of control. It's a key factor in safe and efficient braking performance.
