    It doesn't have a whole lot to do with braking power. There is barely any fork travel so when the weight transfer happens, the tire is used as the "spring", which usually results in losing the front.

    You hit the nail right on the head. My bike has "0" travel on the front forks so any weight transer goes directly to the tire.
