Hey,

I know there is a years old thread about something similar but felt it would be best to start a new one.

I purchased my Catrike 559 about six weeks ago. I have rode a little over 1,000 miles in that time.

I have an issue with as, Catrike, calls them, Panic Braking. Twice now, I have had to stop very quickly as there was something or someone in front of me. Both times the trike has flipped forward and I have ended up face down on the trail with the trike tipped over and or on top of me. The second time, others around and behind me seemed to stop with no issues as I flipped. Never had any issues other than these two stops where it was stop or run into something.

I have not used disc brakes for several previous DF bikes. Should I attribute this to being a new rider?

Before purchasing, I thought about cornering issues and tipping over, but never thought about braking issues like this.

Thanx
