Why disc brake is not placed in rear wheel in two wheelers?
Hariramesh
Actually, a lot of motorcycles do have disc brakes in the rear now. Traditionally this was not the case just as it was not in cars. Things are changing though. The front wheel does most of the stopping in any case.
It is a fact that both disc and drum brake systems have improved considerably.Also about 60 to 80% of breaking power comes from the front wheel.So using a disc system in the front wheels and a drum system in the rear wheels is sufficient for a good breaking effect.Also it will reduce the cost.
So, finally, using a disc sytem in the front and drum system in the rear will provide good breaking effect at reduced cost.
Though the 2 wheel disc system provides more breaking effect, it is not required unless we are in a racing track.

How do disc brakes work?
Most modern cars have disc brakes on the front wheels, and some have disc brakes on all four wheels. This is the part of the brake system that does the actual work of stopping the car.The disc brake is a lot like the brakes on a bicycle. Bicycle brakes have a caliper, which squeezes the brake pads against the wheel. In a disc brake, the brake pads squeeze the rotor instead of the wheel, and the force is transmitted hydraulically instead of through a cable. Friction between the pads and the disc slows the disc down.Vented disc brakes have a set of vanes, between the two sides of the disc, that pumps air through the disc to provide cooling.
