A vehicle anti-dive braking apparatus which prevents dive and increases suspension damping during braking. A rotatably mounted disc brake causes hydraulic fluid to flow from hydraulic reservoirs upon braking to an anti-dive cylinder, secondary damper cylinder and a bottom casing. Fluid flow to the anti-dive cylinder causes movement of a fork pipe therein to prevent dive while simultaneously causing valves in the secondary damper cylinder and bottom casing to close. The closing valves retain fluid pressure therein and thereby increase suspension damping. The damper in the bottom casing also provides increased suspension damping when a bump is encountered during braking action.
