How To Improve Your Cornering | Common Mountain Bike Mistakes

Спорт

No two corners are the same in mountain biking; from berms to switchbacks, each can be approached in a different way. Here's Neil and Rich with some common MTB mistakes that are made when riding corners and how to correct them 🤘

    Honestly I have been riding the same 26” hardtail for the last 20 years (no joke) I have recently bought an amazing 29” Kona process and the difference can’t be measured. The hardest part this new bike is cornering. I was an expert with the 26” but the 29” full suspension is very tricky. I appreciate your videos and hope to see y’all in Alaska sometime soon. :)

    Thanks Rick, I like the explanation for the outside and inside pedal positioning in the turns. I found that while being a novice rider, this pedal position seemed counter intuitive. Over time I found that the outside pedal down, with the inside pedal up, did x2 things... 1. During the compression through the middle of the turn placed centrifugal force through the bike to the rubber more consistently because of the riders positioning. It’s a pendulum effect in conjunction with the centrifugal forces along the plane angle of the rider through the bike into and through the turn. 2. Allows the riders position to keep planted and articulated properly for the exit of the turn. I found it helps keep my head up and assists in the preparation of the next transition.... The more the rider practices angle vs speed in varying degrees of turns will increase their speed and overall commitment into the turns. Thanks!!

    I used to ride big motorcycles , if you use opposite steering to get your bike upright at the end of each corner you will be ready for the next corner quicker. You can use the same technique to enter a corner quicker as well but that’s advanced technique.

    OK, now here's a real problem I can't seem to overcome: uphill lefthand hairpin singletrack switchbacks, with prominent rocky exits. I have 3 of these on my regular trails and cannot seem to conquer them no matter what. HELP!!!

    The probably biggest mistake is braking in corners. Managing your entry speed and staying off the brakes during cornering results in a way faster exit and faster overall time. Just remind yourself, if you got traction for braking, you still got traction for harder cornering.
