A brake bias valve, also known as a proportioning valve or brake proportioning valve, is a crucial component in a vehicle’s braking system. It adjusts the distribution of braking force between the front and rear wheels, optimizing stopping performance and stability.
Key Features:
Adjustable Pressure: Controls how much brake pressure is applied to the front and rear brakes, which can be crucial for performance and safety.
Improved Stability: Helps prevent rear wheel lock-up during heavy braking, which can lead to loss of control.
Fine-Tuning: Allows for adjustments based on vehicle load, driving conditions, or personal preference.
Applications:
Performance Vehicles: Used in racing or custom builds to fine-tune braking characteristics.
Off-Road Vehicles: Can be adjusted for different terrains and load conditions.
Benefits:
Enhances braking performance and vehicle control.
Reduces brake fade and improves overall safety.
