In this episode, we take a look at the use of rear brake on track. I also brake down the braking phase to give you a better understanding of what happens during this moments. And I give you more riding advices and tips for your next sessions.

Your channel, Sylvain, is the best thing that happened so far during this isolation time.

[@filmcamera]

I agree - it has instantly become one of my must watch channels as soon as I get the notification of a new video

[@edpereira7488]

And the worst for those track riding withdrawals 😂

[@ianfutube]

So many tips that I can't wait to try out. Recently received a personal video review after Sylvain asked for people to upload their track footage. I gave him plenty of errors to work on :-) but couldn't believe it when he replied with a fully overlaid commentary the following day. In the first couple of minutes I demonstrate not shifting down quickly and running on when braking - some great tips in this - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJjVnoqQna2UoMk

[@bern1e74]

Agreed.

[@JohSno]

Agreed.

[@iiredeyeiiredeye1569]

Feels like I'm getting free one to one tuition from a master. Brilliant channel thank you.

[@hedgehog3900]

Our favourite adopted brit. That was interesting as usual,cheers fella.

[@hermisid]

I was never commenting riding videos! But Sylvain, it's amazing! No fancy cuts or CGI, but pure information, confidence and humbleness!!! Thank you really much for what you're doing!! Please continue! What about the topic like: how to find a racing line in unknown circuit? OR Racing line/Fast line/Overtaking line differences. OR How to prepare overtakes? or actually compete. Thank you again from Serbia and Russia :)

[@endasthenrik516]

Yes, exactly! Such great information without feeling scripted or over produced. +1 for the topic suggestions too!

[@VState60]

Simon Crafar Episode 16-18

[@laurensbrantsen]

Yes, those are very interesting subjects for future videos indeed!

[@hermisid]

@@VState60 well, Simon is good but sometimes his style of explanation or riding stile feels for me much less applicable for my riding. And even if Sylvain is speaking about the top level things I still can apply it for my riding. Which is the most important for me.

[@ChasingTenths]

There’s one dislike ... Who the hell can dislike his videos. He’s doing an amazing job

[@laurensbrantsen]

Right? Don't understand it either.... But, another thumbs up from me for sure!

[@Al-df7np]

Probably someone who thinks they know better but in actuality doesn't.

[@raynic1173]

Don't you guys understand that your "likes/dislikes" affects the your recommended videos, It' not rocket science but it is computer science, jeeze, calm down.

[@remigusker6024]

The same kind of people who completely remove their rear brake because they think it makes them faster.

[@anxiousappliance]

It's the dog - wants some petting.

[@MotoJitsu]

Freaking love these videos!

[@NSingh1979]

Dude I was going to share this video on MotoJitsu Discord, and then I scrolled down and saw your comment ;-)

[@agnel47]

Best video on braking in general. Amazing insights.

[@PennPhysics]

So clear and helpful. Thank you

It s so joyful to see a real "expert"'s lesson like urs! Hope u have a good evening n prend soin de toi dans cette période mon français!

[@IamLaR1]

I will say it again...best channel on the Tube for learning how to ride tips. Thank you man. You channel is the only channel that I get excited about new videos. God Bless.

[@DanDanTheFireman]

Subscribed! Thank you for taking the time to teach riders!

[@drdata8711]

Bro, you are one heck of a teacher.. Brilliant work.. There are many people who have talent, but to be able to teach that talent is quite a different thing. Congrats

[@TypeSly]

It's amazing that someone of your stature takes the time to teach your skills to us peons! Thank you and God bless, Sylvain!

[@thegreenberetlife0191]

Sylvain, this is a great series. I am an amateur racer in the US with some moderate success. I have never felt comfortable using the rear brake with the exception of running off track. I always thought it was a major shortcoming of my riding. I do click down a gear as soon as I release throttle and transition to brake, it settles/slows the bike for sure. From a psychological stance however, I really appreciate hearing one of the best riders in the world state that he doesn’t use the rear on a superbike. It actually takes a weight off my shoulders. It sounds silly but racing, as any endeavor you wish to be successful in, is 90% mental. I am really just trying to say thank you for sharing that!

[@0Zolrender0]

The affermation of knowing what you were doing is right gives you sudden strength and confiednce. Suddenly you go faster.

[@FlameHazeist]

​@@technicalthug When you're braking hard enough to lift the rear up, the rear brake becomes useless. Even MotoGP riders only use the rear brake a little during the initial braking application before totally releasing it, and only start to use it again during the turn-in.

[@cyclenews]

These are by far the best tutorials we can find on real track riding. Well done, Sylvain.

[@barbellbiker]

I have so much unnecessary fear using the rear brake on track 😂 this video has given me the confidence to use it!

[@RickyJr46]

Thank you, Sylvain! At Laguna Seca I enjoy watching riders entering turn 5. From a vantage point under the pedestrian bridge you can see that nobody has the rear wheel in line, it's always sliding and often side to side. Absolutely spectacular! Doing this over race distance and not pitching it away, is beyond the incredible!

[@jackett75]

Amazing stuff Sylvain. Still cannot believe a World Superbike Champion & MotoGP rider is giving over so much of his time to help mere mortals. 👏

[@motorcycletherapy4885]

Really, really interesting tips and tricks explained by a very experienced and highly respected professional racer. High quality video too and seems to be a very nice guy. Keep the good stuff coming Sylvain. 👍

[@jasongoodman4930]

You watch experienced riders on youtube give great advice, which is wonderful .... And then watch a pro like this guy, this dude's on a different planet 😆, love it!!!

[@blantant]

When superbike world championship, never touched the rear brake. Freaking legend! How lucky we are to get this free content

[@LutherLee]

I watched this video once when i started riding. And now 20k km later, I still learning something more by rewatching this video

[@Orf45]

Outstanding explanation from someone who actually knows. Thank you.

[@JohnDoe-eu2mt]

I really appreciate that You want to share Your kwnowledge. Your channel is much much better than many motorbike schools in Poland. I' am wainting for top 50 tips to ride like like You. Best wishes!

[@1ambros1]

For years I’ve been wondering why more racers don’t use the rear brake, and I stubbornly kept using it, but thanks to your explanation, I realize that it’s not necessary on a production-based bike. Thanks for including the bike data to explain the “when” and “why”. I think many experienced riders and even racers try explaining and what they do, but aren’t 100% sure about how much they’re applying the brake or gas; your use of actual rider/bike data demystifies and clarifies things. I will try to avoid using the rear brake from now on.

[@ewcha2]

Finally someone with the details , great illustration

[@th7321]

If you’re into bikes this is the channel of the century. Thanks Sylvain looks like you have two gifts. The ability to ride fast as well as articulately explain to us enthusiasts.

[@LordTangWu]

Whats even more fascinating is that it takes several minutes to describe what happens in a split second. Amazing

[@rikkismith329]

This wasn't a rear brake lesson This was a life lesson ❤️ U are great at teaching keep the videos coming 🙏 This video explained alot for me as an amateur rider

[@petar-boshnakov]

This is so insightful and easy to understand. Thank you for everything and keep them coming ! It is just amazing

[@nathanbaeyens2856]

I've been riding and doing track days for years, and this was one of the most informative videos I've ever watched. Every other video has just been things I already knew on repeat. For once, I learned something new today. Thank you.

[@Pxmediainclosangeles]

👍

[@TheStringBreaker]

*Just phenomenal!*

[@geoffpoole1972]

Great advice. I don't track, just fast road riding. I use the rear for trail braking into the corner. Your expert advice on changing down a gear at the corner entry for engine braking is a revelation!! Makes so much sense. Less rear brake, more use of engine braking. Thank you :)

[@ducatimale]

Real gems they are, these videos of yours Sylvain! Massive thanx!!!

[@GreenMntMoto]

The more I learn the more fun I have - thanks for all the fun

[@ebr-fan1117]

Great presentation as usual, Sylvain. Thanks so much!

[@user-pu1iu7sc3y]

The moment I thought I learned everything about different way to attacking corner, this guy comes up and shatter my whole perspective about cornering. Good video man.

[@user-pu1iu7sc3y]

Wait is this guy a actual MotoGP rider?

[@user-pu1iu7sc3y]

Holy shit he is!!!! Jesus

[@ragethomas]

"You see that board, Love that board"....love it. Keep these videos coming!!!

[@chrislazar7357]

Thank you for this video! By far the best explanation of the rear break I’ve come across. Some great points of information.

[@jonelliott9627]

Wow ! Very analytical and articulate gentleman. He explained these details over 9 minutes but this all happens in a matter of seconds. Consider the 1000s of repetitions to gain the muscle memory necessary to compete at this level. Amazing dedication sir. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.

[@rhoibanzons2514]

Mr.S you are simply the best instructor. More Power!

Good JOB Mate explaining telemetry, i like how you simplify everything for us to grasp!

[@RaidenF8]

Dude, this is exactly what I was looking for. Nobody has explained rear braking while cornering better than you on youtube. Thank you so much! I instantly subscribed. Would love to see that graph for the full corner with lean angle and acceleration added. Also different types of corners would be great as well.

[@waynethorne11]

Love your videos and content. thanks for sharing all of the little tips with us!

[@kikobruni]

Excellent video!!! Very instructive as well!!! Thanks for taking the time and energy to make it and share with us!!! You are a natural teacher!!!

[@pencils1951]

A professional told me that the back brake offers 7 to 8 % braking at best, and this quickly disappears when the weight is transferred to the front, the rest speaks for itself. I was a GXSR rider and that advice served me well with a modicom of commonsense.

[@thetechchefgaming5630]

You sir are a nice guy!! ... I love that you've taken time from your fame and giving something to the guys on the up and come! Thanks!!

[@dawnsabin-simpson8938]

This explains a lot, my RVF 400 has really good engine braking and to be honest I rarely use my rear brake when the bike is flowing. Thanks again Silvain.

[@danielcheng5070]

Watched again in detail, great explanation ! Thank you

[@dastrix80]

Very well explained Sylvain!

[@PascalGruselle]

Thanks Sylvain for sharing your racing experience with passion, even for road riders like me, it's useful. Rear break is using more when we are are already into the corner to stabilize the bike as I understood.

[@cristianl1083]

Great information, I am a track day lover and this really helps me a lot. Thanks!!!!

[@expatbiker6598]

I've created a playlist for Sylvain videos for me to memorize. For my first track day. Speed won't be my target but putting all this advice together. The faster I can do it I'm guessing the better my time. Thank you
