Advanced Braking and Cornering
Mastering Stops and Turns
Stopping and turning seem simple, but on a motorcycle, they require skill and practice—especially at higher speeds.
Advanced Braking
- Progressive Braking: Squeeze the brakes gently at first, then more firmly.
- Use Both Brakes: Apply both front and rear brakes for balanced stops.
- Avoid Skidding: Don’t grab the brakes suddenly, especially on wet roads.
Cornering Techniques
- Slow, Look, Lean, Roll: Slow down before the turn, look where you want to go, lean with the bike, and roll on the throttle smoothly.
- Countersteering: Push the handlebar in the direction you want to turn to initiate lean.
Why Practice Matters
Practicing these techniques in a safe area improves your reaction to real-world situations, like sharp curves or sudden stops.
Examples
A rider uses progressive braking to stop safely on a rainy day, avoiding a skid.
A motorcyclist leans with the bike while cornering on a twisty mountain road.
In a Nutshell
Advanced braking and cornering techniques help you stay in control during tricky riding situations.
