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

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 explain why the wheel almost never slips.

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