<p>It is an object to provide a brake apparatus which can achieve front-rear distribution in accordance with a traveling environment variation. At an intermediate point Pm from a start point 0 of a second mode first interval to an end point of a second mode second interval, the increasing rate of braking force for a front wheel (11f) with respect to an operation amount is changed. The increasing rate of the operation amount to the point Pm can be represented by an inclination ±1 of a curve. The increasing rate of the operation amount after the point Pm is represented by an inclination ±2 of the curve. Preferably, the inclinations ±1 and ±2 are set so as to satisfy ±1 < ±2. By setting the increasing rate after an intermediate point Pm so as to be higher than the increasing rate before the intermediate point Pm, the vehicle body generation deceleration can be caused to increase in a linear proportion to the operation amount. Where the vehicle body generation deceleration increases in a linear proportion to the operation amount, at an initial stage of braking (when the operation amount is small), the variation amount of the braking force of the front and rear wheels (11f,11r) can be made small giving priority to posture control, but in the latter half of the braking (when the operation amount is great), priority is given to the braking action.</p> |
