Braking device and straddle-type vehicle provided therewith

摘要

A braking apparatus 16 includes: a front wheel braking mechanism 17 braking a front wheel 6 in response to operation of a front operating member 20; a rear wheel braking mechanism 18 braking a rear wheel 9 in response to operation of a rear operating member 32; an assist mechanism 19b braking the rear wheel 9 via the rear wheel braking mechanism 18 when the front operating member 20 is operated. The apparatus further includes a front wheel speed sensor 58 detecting rotating speed of the front wheel 6 and a rear wheel speed sensor 59 detecting rotating speed of the rear wheel 9, and assist action caused by the assist mechanism 19b is stopped when the rotating speed of the rear wheel 9 is higher by a predetermined value than the rotating speed of the front wheel 6.
