🏍️Different riding techniques have evolved over time due to advancements in motorcycles and tire design.
🔄Counterbalancing allows for faster flicking of the bike from side to side.
🧭Counterbalancing is particularly useful in slower-speed situations and tight turns.
🤔Choosing the right riding technique depends on factors such as speed, traction, and riding environment.
🛣️For day-to-day street riding, a more neutral or middle position may be more practical and comfortable.
What is the main difference between hanging off and counterbalancing?
—Hanging off involves leaning the body outside the bike, while counterbalancing involves keeping the body more upright and letting the bike lean underneath.
Which riding technique is better for faster speeds and aggressive riding?
—Hanging off allows for greater lean angles and better suspension effectiveness at higher speeds, making it more suitable for aggressive riding.
When is counterbalancing more beneficial?
—Counterbalancing is particularly useful in slower-speed situations, tight turns, and faster transitions between corners.
Can both hanging off and counterbalancing be used on the street?
—Yes, both techniques can be used on the street, but their advantages may be more pronounced in track or more aggressive riding scenarios.
Is it necessary to choose one technique over the other?
—It depends on personal preference and the specific riding situation. Some riders may prefer a more neutral or middle body position that suits their comfort and riding style.
