Indeed, but deltas generally don't have brakes on the front wheel. The Anura is the only one I know that comes stock that way.

Just like on a LWB bike though, you need to be a little careful how much you grab that front brake because with relatively little weight on that front wheel (even with a braking induced weight shift), it's pretty easy to put it into a skid.
