Superbike School UK: Hook turns

[@LarsJansen]

@aluisious basically: moving your weight forward on the bike progressively through the turn adds weight to the front end, this compresses the forks, shortening your wheelbase and effectively making the bike cut a tighter line with no extra lean angle.

[@LarsJansen]

The hook turn is the best thing I learn't at CSS!!

[@Dravensdmf]

also the twist of the wrist dvd states to stop your roll on, not roll off just not roll on further.

[@RedlineScream]

It explained perfectly, watch it again..

[@theMightywooosh]

Monsour 44teeth is representing I see

[@vyjk]

Maybe I'm not getting this but when the weight is transferred to the front, does it not increase the contact patch of the tire to the pavement causing more drag and a counter-steering effect towards the outside of the curve, just like when you brake or roll off? Is what you said done despite that counter-steering effect because it negates that effect and then some?

[@BrooklynBoas]

damn it I needed confirmation for a debate with a buddy of mine telling me I shift my wait wrong in the hooks

[@LarsJansen]

The contact patch thing is true but has a very slight effect compared with the effect of shortening your wheelbase to increase increase your turning ability. I'm no Instructor though! I can not be held responsible if your lap times get worse haha

Is that Al Fagan with hair? 😂

[@aluisious]

@larsborg Good explanation

[@JethroRose]

@aluisious no it didn't. you lean forward more to make the bike turn tighter. need to tighten line mid corner? lean forward more.

[@Themayseffect]

i guess they want us to buy the rest -_-

[@krayzieegg7294]

[@aluisious]
