I have a 2013 w/ABS and the rear brake is much less effective than the front brake. Since I don't have a gold standard to compare, I'll bleed the rear brakes tomorrow and see if the rear braking improves. As others have pointed out for the C-ABS system, the rear brake pedal engages the rear brake caliper and also provides some front disc braking. Looking at the service manual, it looks like the rear brake engages the middle piston on the right front brake caliper. The front brake engages all 3 pistons on the left front caliper and the 2 outer pistons on the right front caliper. The right front caliper has 2 bleed valves. The upper one is for bleeding the right front brake and the lower one is connected to the rear brake reservoir.
