When abruptly breaking with the rear wheel on a bike, it tends to drift pretty easily. Doing the same with the front wheel is a very different experience. Instead of drifting, the bike lifts the real wheel. I've never seen the front wheel of a bike drift.

According to this answer the torque generated on a bike during breaking is set around the front wheel contact point. While this explains why the rear wheel is lifted, it doesn't really explains why the wheel never slips.

What causes the front wheel to behave like it had more friction/grip with the ground?
