Correct answer
Two devices: one for the front wheel and another for the rear wheel.
Two braking devices: one acting at least on the rear wheel and another on the front wheel, under Article 12.8.4. A single front or rear brake does not meet this requirement. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and adapt braking to grip and the situation; a combined system may operate both. Having a rear brake alone does not guarantee balance or prevent a lock-up.
