These include the speed of the bike, the wheel-terrain contact, the brake lever application force,
the correct installation and maintenance of the brakes, the hydraulic brake fluid, the levers, the
brake shoes or pads, the condition of the bike, the weight of the rider, the correct braking tech-
nique, the weather conditions, the type and conditions of the terrain, and many other factors.
