    The feeling when you are riding is that you are pushing the bike into the corner. That’s how I used to think about it before I ever heard the term “counter steering”. Once the bike is banked over and established in the turn the front wheel will go back to following the curve of the corner. The images you showed of race bikes supposedly counter steering were actually drifting .

    You're talking as if only pro riders use counter steering. All of us do. It's how you ride a bike.

    I don’t really see it as a “technique”. It’s kinda just physics

      வண்டி முன்னோக்கி வேகமாக செல்லும் போது அதன் உந்துவிசை அதிகமாக இருக்கும். ஆகவே அதை எடைசீர் செய்ய நாம் எதிர் திசையில் எடையை சேர்ப்பதன் மூலம் மைய்யவிசை சீராக இருக்கும்.

    Yes,it's pure applied physics,Stoner explained the front tyre part very good. They slide because the gearbox revs and rear wheel revs get out of sync so the bike starts sliding. Many riders slide intentionally.About the leg-if you starting braking through a fast right hander and then turn left the bike wants to continue right so the rider uses his extended leg to counter the forces that wanna turn it right plus he releases the brake for a moment to straighten up the bike and turn left properly.

      Yes! This is much closer to the truth than the point made in the video, which is trivial and unfortunately the real behaviour is seldom explained
      Tyres produce force by their slip, and to achieve maximum cornering force one needs to achieve significant slip on both tyres
      However, the kinematics of a bike turning perpendicular to the corner radius is not enough to generate enough slip at the back, while at the front you can control slip with the position of the handlebar
      This means that the bike has to yaw to disalign the direction of the rear tyre with the velocity vector of the assembly. These yaws are so significant that very often you end up seeing the handlebar turning the "wrong way" to reduce the disalignment on the front axis, plus of course, transient roll states which a good rider should be almost constantly in
      Hope I'm being clear enough with my argument!

    5:05 countersteering a powerslide and countersteering into the corner are not the same
    The former is done by cars too whereas the latter obviously isnt.

    Its to make the bike fall to the turn you want it to go, the direction of the handle bar is counter your intended turn,, there is a term for that, I just can't remember because it should be natural to anyone riding a two wheeled vehicle where tires are parallel and tires are curved, this is how we steer a bicycle :D works at any speed above ZERO ! :D

  • @paulrandolph8469

    The most visually obvious example of countersteering I can think of is flat-tracking. Kenny Roberts was a flat-tracker first. Picture him on a Yamaha TZ750, a 750cc 2-stroke monster, all twisted up and sideways going around an oval. What we do on asphalt circuits on corner exits is exactly the same but to a much smaller degree. Roberts did this so much--even on corner entries--that the phrase "steering with the rear" got coined. I should add that the video presenter is correct that we push on the left bar for a fraction of a second to get the bike to turn left. This turns the tire ever-so-slightly to the right--the wrong way---which causes the bike to tip in to the left--the correct way.

    Both rider's counter Steered, except the one leaned more quicker, there is no turning in a two wheeled vehicle if you are not counter steering, no counter steer, you will go straight, that is what that curved tire is for :D

    Anyone else see that actually counter steering also appears when accelerating out of the corners, only the difference is that they are wheelieing a bit while doing that. So it may not get the effect of the counter steering out of the corner, but they do it nonetheless. Maybe it is not on purpose.

  • @seeker0587

    Ummm all bikes steer this way? When you lean the front tire counter steers naturally.

    • @mannyechaluce3814

      works the same way in a bicycle or any two wheel vehicle where the wheels are parallel to each other and the tires are curved ( rounded out ) :D

    ANYONE with any real level of skil dirt riding is quite often pointing the front wheel in the opposite direction as the turn simply because the rear end coming around sliding...I mean besides counter steering in general which is hard to even see compared to sliding the rear....the most radical example in racing is certainly not motogp! That honor goes to SPEEDWAY where bikes are full lock steering opposite direction of trun

      Noop. You start a lean by countersteering, at any speed, from zero and up. Bicycle or motor bike the same. My granson, 2 yrs, has no clue of the word CS, but he controls his balance bike by countersteering at walking speed.

    • @kjellg6532

      If you do not lean, you will fall out of the turn, simpel physics. This goes for any speed, down to zero km/h. Riding a two wheeled vehicle you are in an unstable balance and have to correct it from falling all time. Try to balance a broom in your palm. You have to correct it all the time by moving your hand in the direction of the fall. If you want to go for a walk forward, you have to pull the foot of the stick towards you for a split second, you have to “countersteer” the broom to get it into a forward lean. With no lean, the broom will fall over you, like a (motor)bike will fall out of any turn at any speed.
