Mastering your Ride

Master your machine - understand the mechanics, harness the physics, and take full control for a smoother, faster, and safer ride.

To be able to get the most out of your machine it helps to understand the physics of how it works to allow you to harness the best out of your machinery whatever style of bike it is.

Your Mentor will endeavour to help you understand some of the basic theory behind the physics of how a motorcycle works and how you can better control these by accurate use of your machine’s controls.

They will help you to understand how utilising movement of weight distribution around the machine can help get the best out of it and how it can also adversely affect the machine’s stability.

They will help you to understand how this is achieved by brake bias when braking. Using front sends weight forward, whilst using rear brake only can keep the weight distribution more in equilibrium, also how throttle application powering through a bend sends weight to the rear lessening the amount of grip on the front tyre.

They will also discuss how, through movement of your weight on the machine, you can influence stability especially when cornering.

This knowledge will allow you to better exploit the machine’s capabilities whilst riding safely.
