Wow this is deep! Considering that most riders only use the front brakes, decreasing throttle would inherently have a greater effect on the rear of the bike, while braking has a greater effect on the front, right? I mean, all things being otherwise equal, wouldn't a 5 mph reduction in speed accomplished by decreasing the throttle have a lesser effect on the front suspension that a similar decrease in speed brought on by the brakes? Obviously ASSuming that you would use the front exclusively. I actually use my rear brakes quite a bit...
