Drum Brakes vs Disc Brakes – Which is Better? Introduction Honda Activa or Honda Aviator, It’s so difficult, isn’t it?  we always face this kind of confusion while purchasing a vehicle, it’s always so difficult to choose between vehicles with almost the same configuration but different braking systems, In the above example Honda Activa and Honda Aviator both have almost the same engine configurations but Activa comes with drum brakes and Aviator comes with disc brakes which makes it so confusing for us to choose between them as both the braking systems have their own advantages over each other, so now the question arises How these 2 braking systems differ from each other? Here we will discuss the major difference between drum brakes and disc brakes. Let’s just clear the doubts. Drum Brake A drum brake system is a system in which a 2 parts drum is used for the brake shoes to make frictional contact, one part of the drum brake consists of a housing of the brake shoes along with ...

What is a Hydraulic Braking System and How It Works? Introduction Bleeding? , Brake oil? Yeah right, whenever we face problem with your car’s or bike’s braking system we often hear these terms from the mechanic, and also if we talk about the two wheeler’s dis brake we only see a hard black color pipe connecting the brake lever with the caliper, we don’t see any mechanical linkage like our bicycles, right? So now the questions arise how these brakes work without any mechanical connection between the actuator (lever or pedal) and the drum shoe or disc caliper? , why do we need brake oil for our braking system? So let’s just dig into this article to find out.           Hydraulic braking system is a type of braking system in which unlike the mechanical braking system, hydraulic fluid is used to transmit the brake pedal or brake lever force from the brake pedal or brake lever to the final drum shoes or disc caliper in order to achieve braking. In this ...
