Weight shifts forward under braking, which diminishes the amount of retardation the rear wheels can provide. At 0.90 g, the rear-biased mule's rear brakes were generating 64 percent as much retardation as its front brakes, whereas the front-biased mule's rear brakes could only manage 41 percent as much braking as its front brakes. The more evenly split the brake force, the less fade and the more confident the brakes feel.
