which stops quicker, cars or bikes?

Answer 1

Cars, because the grip levels are much higher than in a bike. You have over a ton pushing on 4 tires, a bike is under 100kg and it only has 2 wheels.
Plus, in a bike, usually you brake with only one of the wheels. In a car, the braking force is being directed to ALL 4 wheels and brake systems.

I am making the F1-MotoGP comparison here. Bikes have metal discs, which make the vehicle a bit harder to stop; the braking power of F1 discs, however, is absolutely huge.

Answer 2

Cars will stop faster then motorcycles at speeds in excess of 60 MPH. While a motorcycle has less mass it lacks the surface contact with the tires for abrubt stops. Car tires have a larger surface contact area per tire. While cars have considerably more mass, they also have the weight pushing down on the tires to allow more friction. Cars can, with appropriate suspension, out corner a motorcycle. Don't want to believe this then watch the both motorcycle GP races and Formula 1 on the same tracks. It is simply the laws of physics.

Answer 3

Bikes

Answer 4

Bikes by far. They weigh a fraction of what a car does and have similarly sized front brakes.
Even in a car the front brakes do most of the braking because the weight shifts to the front each time you apply the brakes due to inertia (objects in motion stay in motion).

Answer 5

Motorcycles stop quicker BY FAR. They are much lighter and use the same technology as cars. They accelerate faster, and stop quicker.

Answer 6

Depends on the gear. I think bike though, but you have to have a tight grib. For a car, you stop, but you kind of slide a little...havent you noticed?

Answer 7

Cars, the more wheels the faster the stop.

Answer 8

Bike - less momentum

Answer 9

bikes because they are less weight plus mass

Answer 10

They stop the same when they hit something.
