Today bikes are getting faster and more powerful by the day. Travelling at scorching speeds is the new way to travel for many. The roads becoming smoother and wider has allowed for quicker travel. But we know that staying in a country like India, however wide the roads get and the smoother it is, one can never know what might jump out in front of you out of a sudden. Now no offence of stereotyping here, but still something like this is pretty standard across the World. Hence for all that power harnessed, generated and turned into scorching speeds; there is an equal importance for good stopping power as well. Hence comes the huge debate between disc brakes and drum brakes

Advantages of Disc brakes:
1. High stopping power- As they are bigger in size and more pot calipers can be added, not to mention dual disks are also possible.
2. Quick Heat dissipation- Being located outside and in contact with air, they cool up easily as compared to drums which are located on the inside of the wheel.
3. Do not cause wheel damage- Drums have shoes connected to a spring that causes friction with the inside of the wheel. This can cause overheating inside the wheel and cause weakness leading to damage. Not the case with discs.
4. Easy maintenance- Disc brakes just need simple sanding done on the brake pads and the disc. The drums need the entire wheel to be removed during periodic maintenance.
5. Cheap spares- Changing the brake pads is quite cheap and if the disc needs changing, even then it is not that costly. But is the drums go bad, then there is a chance they cause loads of damage to the wheel on the inside which could become quite costly in the long run.
6. Adaptability to technology- Drum brakes are purely mechanical, but disc brakes, though mechanical also support ABS fitting. Hence an added win-win.
Disadvantages of Disc brakes:
1. They skid pretty hard during emergency braking in case of non-availability of ABS.
2. Cost a premium at front during purchasing a bike.
3. There are chances of damage to the brake fluid pipe causing brake failure.
4. If the bike is standstill for longer periods, the brake fluid loses viscosity and hence needs proper regular maintenance.
