English term or phrase: brake dive

The objective of any new valve system is to offer maximum control and handling to reduce vehicle body roll during evasive manoeuvers and *brake dive* (when a vehicle pitches forward) during emergency stopping.

J'ai trouvé ces explications sur un forum cycliste qui m'ont permis de comprendre l'expression :
Le suspension a tendance a barrer quand on freine, l'effet se fait ressentir soit en montant(brake jack) ou en descendant(brake dive) selon la position du pivot et l'endroit ou le bike est dans son débattement lors du freinage.

Mais comment le traduire en français ?

Merci d'avance

Plongée lors du freinage

Explanation:
"Nose-diving and shaking during hard braking are suppressed by estimating the deceleration speed from the change speed in vehicle height, i.e. the amount of diving. In addition, the increase or decrease in engine torque is judged from the change in the ECCS fuel injection pulse width, and this information is used for pitch control during acceleration and deceleration. (ECCS: Electronic Concentrated engine Control System). Nose diving is suppressed by judging the deceleration speed from the change speed in vehicle height when the braking signal is received and switching the damping force to the optimum level. At the same time, front-end shaking is similarly suppressed by detecting stopping from the vehicle speed signal."

"En fonction de son réglage, un système de suspension active peut contrôler très efficacement les mouvements de la caisse sur les plus mauvais revêtements. Il peut effectivement contrôler toute amorce de roulis en virage et annuler complètement le cabrage lors des accélérations ainsi que la plongée lors des freinages."
