Physics involved during your Downhill Ride




Riders feel nervous and have trouble in riding their machines in riding Downhill than Riding Uphill. Following techniques will help you in those situations.

  • Always try to put your weight back. It will reduce the load at the front. Leaning towards back also reduce the weight you put on the handle bars, which will help to gain more control

  • Always grip the tank using your legs and thighs. This will help you in preventing the weight shifting to forward. This will help to gain control easily. This will also avoid the feeling of falling down from the machine while riding downhill.

  • Always look ahead as far as possible. As looking down just before the front wheel will make you feel that everything is in rush and lead to target fixing, which you should avoid at any cost.

  • Adjust your turning velocity well before the turn so that you can avoid late breaking and overloading the traction limit of front tire. 

  • Always remember that with gravity pulling you downhill, a little throttle will be enough. So, use positive throttle control avoid unnecessary loading on front tire.
