I guess there has to be a trade off, the lower it goes the less grip the tyre has so the less power it can transmit so you go slower. Must be an optimal angle where power can be applied and cornering still achieved.
afro - simple answer is yeswhen on track to be the fastest you have to carry corner speed thus hitting max lean angle at some point in a corner. Trick is to brake as far into the corner as you dare and gas it as early as you can…thus making a lap time…all of which eludes me lolthe elbow down style is cool as. but it is just that…a style…some people will make it look like they aren’t trying wheras he will look like he’s on the very ragged edge…and like the coolest racer around
if i hung 3/4 of my body off i would probally get my knee and elbow down quiet frankly i dont feel the need to do that. much further over and my bike would of been resting on its fairings i hate the feeling of the tarmac wearing away at my sidis and really dont like the thought of doing it to my knee but im sure once i get use to it i will do it all the time:D
Cheers…Yeah, I can understand how that works, but is that guy hanging off the bike less so he can bank it over more before his knee makes contact with the ground, or is he really lanky like Leon Camier :D?
