Hard front brake application can cause which type of crash?

• A. Spin-out
• B. Skid
• C. Endo
• D. Wobble

Answer: (C)

Hard front braking shifts most of the stopping force to the front wheel, and if you brake hard enough the front wheel can lock or stop rotating. When that happens, the bike dumps its momentum forward and the rider is pitched over the handlebars—a crash known as an endo. This is the classic consequence of abrupt front-brake use, especially at higher speeds or on slick surfaces, because weight transfers forward and the front end sacrifices stability.

A skid can occur if the wheel locks and slides, but the specific head-over-handlebars event described here is the endo. Wobble isn’t the typical outcome of a hard front brake, and a spin-out isn’t the direct result of front braking in this scenario.
