What is the speed for motorcycle cornering?
1 Answers
Motorcycle cornering speed is between 80 to 100. Below are the relevant details: Reasons for cornering: To maintain the balance of centripetal force (centrifugal force). When a motorcycle turns, it is not only affected by gravity and supporting force but also by centripetal force, which is the force that enables the motorcycle to turn. The motorcycle tilts, causing the direction of the supporting force to change. The directions of gravity and supporting force are no longer vertical but in the direction providing centripetal force, hence the motorcycle needs to lean into the corner. Cornering techniques: When cornering, lower your center of gravity and try to lean your body onto the fuel tank, then use your feet to control the bike's center of gravity. Do not use the clutch to control speed, as this is not conducive to safe riding. Avoid unnecessary acceleration before entering a corner, as it can make the bike unstable and prone to tipping. Maintain a constant speed while in the corner and avoid using the clutch or brakes. When you see the exit point of the corner, accelerate smoothly to avoid sudden acceleration that could change the bike's lean angle and alter its path.
