Well said! I guess it’s by design then, knowing now how may owners have the same experience. When you lock your front tire the natural instinct is to release it, which is the correct thing to do. For the untrained rider (experienced rider as well if he panic and forgets) the natural instinct for many is to release a rear lock – which is really bad! I guess we can close this thread since we have a satisfactory response.
