I've never heard of trail-braking before. How exactly does it work? When do you apply the front brake in the corner? How much brake do you apply? I was always taught to never touch the brake during a curve. So this concept seems odd to me. However I'm always down to learn something new if it means being safer.
Best way to explain is while one is braking before the corner they maintain some brake pressure (Key word is some; too much bike crashes too little might not slow down enough play with it till you find the sweet spot) use the front brake I try to barley use the rear brake as overuse there will guarantee a drift or high-side. Obviously add lean angle with the brakes engaged at the proper amount it'll already have load on the front tire which is good but the more aggressive the lean angle the more you need to reduce pressure on the front brake. So keyword is more angle less brake, more brake less angle. Keep your eyes fixed on where you want to go at all times and don't dump the brakes suddenly release them slowly and smoothly, don't add lean angle abruptly slowly and smoothly as well. MotoGP demonstrates this all the time they enter corners stupid hot because they use trailbraking to its peak to maximize speed and time. Research the topic vid was meant to emphasize y'all to learn it not necessarily to teach it but if there's demand I might teach it. When they said don't brake in the corner its because most grab a handful of brake and lose it, trailbraking is going into the corner with the brakes already engaged instead of just using the brakes once already in the corner. Do not just grab a ton of brake suddenly. Trailbraking is performed coming into the corner already engaging the brakes not just grabbing them suddenly in the midst of a corner.
@@Entremanures they have like 1k in them I meant brand new in the sense that they’re not bald or used. They did very well in the forest but the roads in the video had weird indentions that made everything so slippery
this was hilarious and educational :)
@@galenhew4860 glad it was haha
your bike is beautiful
@@Jake-oj3dn appreciate it g

Rear brake in the corner slight pressure with your foot just don’t romp it

@@comonerleon Thanks for the explanation, I'll try practicing this from now on.
@@dakotatomes4561 MotoJitsu and CanyonChasers explains this concept very well
brand new tires are slippery
