Full hand. Is there a reason to use only two fingers other than to keep more grip on the bar itself?
Covering the brake with two fingers can reduce reaction time which is useful especially in traffic.
On the track it is easier to use two fingers to trail brake and maintain throttle control and you will notice many of the best riders using two finger braking.
That's all good and well for braking. I do that on the street too for fun. It's cool executing nice rev matched downshifts.
But what's the benefit of two finger clutching?
@Fluffy_Ruffs @Cypher Having the other 3 firmly gripping the handlebar.
