Most riders can easily achieve 0.4 gs in deceleration (moderate braking) under real world conditions. The level of 0.6 gs (hard braking) is achievable by many riders without extensive training. Achieving 0.8 gs (very hard braking) generally requires advanced training and experience, and highly skilled riders are often capable of deceleration levels above 0.8 gs.
