That’s really hard to see how, you’ve mentioned that the trike pitches

someone on a two wheeler is much lower. LIfting the rear wheel of the
ground still requires a lot of braking force.
Irrelevant; as long as the front tire(s) don't lock and slip, it's all the geometry.I run Magic Mary’s at 2.40 they are soft and gummy tires and on tarmac theyI use road tires, of course. 40MM at 70/80 psi. I suspect my tires are

glued to the road better than your knobby MTB tires.
