Note first that used by the motor brake. Some use disc brakes at the rear and use the drum. There is also a second wheel disc brake use, some are using drum brakes on both wheels. Although now, along with the progress of time and technology, the use of drum brakes on both wheels left.
Judging from its construction both have advantages, such as the brake discs have better heat dissipation than the drum which is certainly hotter. Thus, disc brake pads do not heat quickly and loses its grip. For prolonged use, eg steep downhill road disc brakes certainly better durability. Meanwhile, the drum brakes did not mean to lose total. With more friction surface, his grip was quite good, unfortunately quickly heat and exhaust heat is minimal.
But, try as well in the wet, with rain conditions. When discs exposed to water, the brake pads grip is not as strong when dry, while the brake drum with a closed system gain, water is not easily wet both surfaces, both the brake and his drum.
However, when trying on a long downhill, brake discs showed its strength by being able to put a halt to ride well, even when the rain once. Although initially somewhat ngeloyor, when the brakes are used constantly, it seems his grip brake the better.

In conclusion, disc brakes came out ahead about a reduction in the rate of the mounts, even when wet, slightly reduced its ability.
