Tips for riding a fast bike

(1) Move the center of gravity back when using the front brake

When you use the front brake, your center of gravity will naturally move forward due to inertia. You must practice As you begin to brake, consciously shift your weight back (lower your body and move your butt back). The further your weight is shifted back, the more braking power you can use.

You can practice on sand or a slightly slippery flat surface, speed up and apply different forces on your front and rear brakes to learn how to control your brakes. Or ask an expert how he uses the brakes while riding.

(2) Reduce the force of the front brake when turning.

Similar to driving a car, you must reduce the speed when turning. If you apply your brakes hard while turning, you will skid and lose control. Use your front and rear brakes simultaneously to reduce your speed when turning. Your front wheel will react less when braking, so reduce front braking force and your turn will be more perfect.

If you are making a sharp turn downhill and need to brake, try to use the power of the rear brake. For example, on flat ground, when braking at the last moment, lower the center of gravity back and use 30% of the braking force at the front and 70% at the rear to brake.

(3) Do not press the front brake excessively

"Inertia is your friend", you need speed to pass rocks and obstacles. Otherwise the wheel will stop turning and throw you over the handle. Applying the front brake too much will shift your center of gravity forward, causing the front of the car to tilt down.

If you use the front brake when turning on a steep downhill slope, you must control your front and rear brakes at the same time, and do not press it with excessive force. At this time, you can release and release the brakes. Press the button to prevent the brakes from locking up.
