What is the minimum speed for leaning in a curve?
1 Answers
Motorcycles should not lean in a curve at speeds below 80. Leaning in a curve: Leaning in a curve, broadly speaking, refers to the action of tilting the body of a two-wheeled vehicle (motorcycle, bicycle) toward the direction of the turn when navigating a curve. Precautions: While in the curve, maintain a constant speed and avoid using the clutch or brakes. Instead, adjust your speed and trajectory using the throttle and the angle of lean, while keeping your gaze focused ahead. Additionally, as the bike tilts outward, centrifugal force is generated, so the rider must shift their center of gravity appropriately toward the inside of the tire's contact patch to counteract this force. Knee dragging: The real purpose of knee dragging is to gauge the angle of lean, not to cover the track in plastic. The reason racers do this is that when their knee touches the ground, they know how much more they can lean before the bike loses control and results in a crash.
