Abstract
The present invention provides a braking system that is designed to give the rider of a vehicle an audible indication of an impending lock-up condition (i.e., a condition where the wheel of a wheeled vehicle or track or a snowmobile is not rotating relative to the vehicle). Preferably, the frequency of the audible indication is proportional to the speed of the wheel or track. In one embodiment, the characteristics of the sound (e.g., frequency) are tuned to achieve an audible indication that can be readily heard and perceived by a rider under specific conditions, such as when the rider is wearing a helmet and also in the presence of other noise, such as engine and exhaust noise. In general, an audible indication in the range of about 6 kHz+/−1 kHz is preferred. The audible indication can be altered by changing the geometry and dimensions of the brake rotor and brake pads.
