Abstract
In the specification and drawing a new brake system and a two-wheeled vehicle using the same are described. The new brake system includes a first brake to apply a first brake force on a first wheel of a vehicle and transfers the first brake force to physically actuate a second brake to brake a second wheel of the vehicle. A new-designed cantilever brake is disclosed to transfer the first brake force to actuate the second brake.

A brake system comprising:
- a front brake for braking a front wheel and comprising a first brake cable;
- and
- a rear cantilever brake comprising:
- two brake arms adapted to be respectively pivotally connected with two seat stays of a bicycle frame such that each brake arm is swiveled about a pivot axis;
- and
- a brake pad being slidably connected with at least one of the two brake arms and actuating the first brake cable of the front brake when the brake pad is in to contact with a rear wheel.
