How Do Motorbikers Lean Into A Corner So Well?

Couner steer – A slight counter steer enables the bike to lean over in the opposite direction in a controlled manner.

Tracking – With the inside of the tyre touching the road, the bike will travel in a curved line if steered straight.

Centrifugal force – Centrifugal force from the rider and bike ensures the side of the tyre is still gripping the road.

Angle – With the driver leaning off-centre towards the ground, the bike has less of a lean angle, making it quicker to get back up afterwards.

Lean – As the bike leans over, the front wheel is again centre-lined. Camber thrust comes into play on the tyres.
