Abstract
The invention relates to a method for regulating the brake power on the wheels (VR, HR) of a single-track vehicle, using a brake system comprising a wheel brake circuit (RBK) having a pressure modulator (RGC) for regulating the brake pressure pon a front wheel brake (); a wheel brake circuit (RBK) having a pressure modulator (RGV) for regulating the brake pressure pon a rear wheel brake ('); at least one control circuit (STK, STK) for controlling both pressure modulators (RGV, RGV); and a control unit (). According to the invention, the brake pressure pin the brake circuit (RBK) for the rear wheel (HR) is determined according to the brake pressure pdetected in the brake circuit (RBK) for the front wheel (VR)—taking an ideal brake power distribution characteristic stored in the control unit () as a basis—and is regulated for the rear wheel (HR) by means of the pressure modulator (RGV) in the wheel brake circuit (RBK). As a result, a method is provided which enables the best possible use of the grip between the tyres and the ground in an automated manner during a brake process. The invention also relates to a simply constructed brake system for carrying out the method.
