What is the best way to handle a curve that is tighter than you expected?
- A.Brake hard in the middle without changing your lean
- B.Look at the edge of the road and tense up
- C.Slow as much as possible before entering, look through the turn, and press more to lean more if needed
- D.Close the throttle and put a foot down
Correct answer
C. Slow as much as possible before entering, look through the turn, and press more to lean more if needed
Why
Slowing before the curve, looking where you want to go, and pressing to increase lean gives you the best chance of staying in your lane. Putting a foot down or staring at the edge makes the situation worse.
