What's up guys welcome to the new man it's stitched together rock and today's mission with my beautiful KTM 890 Duke it's my new bike we're gonna make you my fellow bike riders safer on the twisties especially in the corners we got different techniques tricks and tips how to ride in the corners but today we're gonna look into a one specific one and very important one it's the so-called trail braking so I'm gonna show you what this means and how it's done so let's go straight into it some of you may ask what is trail braking actually we have two versions first one is the oh shit means you went into the corner hit the brakes because you miscalculated the whole corner and you want to correct it you hit the brakes the bike straightens up and you lose the front tire and you crash so the right way of trail braking is we're approaching the corner we are shifting down we're starting to break but we don't leave the brake we keep the small amount of pressure on the brake lever we lean we're slowing down till the turning point in the corner and we are searching for the exit where it is when we see it we can release the brake and slowly accelerate out of the corner so this way it will keep you and your bike safe and exactly at the point and the spot in the corner where you want a lot of riders are still using an old-school technique that they've been taught in the driving schools is the so-called slow look brake and roll technique it's a good technique for the slow wide open corners that we mainly find on the highway entries or the exits but what happens if you use this technique in a tight corner you don't know how much speed you need to go safely through the corner and you don't know what's in the corner or what will happen after the corner maybe there is a wet spot or a hole or a upcoming traffic somebody's cutting the corner and you need to correct and you can be simply just too fast and you go too wide and you can crash into the ditch or something worse so this technique slow look brake and roll doesn't work for the tight corners the trail braking is the right answer so this was trail braking in theory now in action you can use this technique on the race track also and of course on the road too we're gonna approach now a tight corner I'm gonna brake keep the brake and look for the exit so let's go okay brake brake brake exit is there okay and brake brake brake brake and release exit is there brake brake brake brake keep braking there's the exit let's go and one more brake brake brake brake brake where is the exit there it is like a release and I can go okay one more brake brake brake brake still there's an exit like a release and go this is now trail braking in tight corners but in tight corners a lot of stuff can happen it can surprise you imagine you are in the corner and suddenly the corner gets even tighter so you need to correct your lines so for that you have two options first one you're already trail braking and leaning so you just need to lean more and adjust the pressure of the brake but a lot of riders are scared to lean even more because it's already panic attack and so on then you have option two which is easier to do because we are already trail braking we have the front grip under control and the leaning under control you just need to add a bit more brake so you will slow down and you have enough time to correct your line modern bikes such as this 890 Duke have a lot of riding aids cornering ABS traction control and so on and so on and this makes you faster in the corner more safer because it helps you to hold your grip in the corner one last tip the fear of trail braking how to overcome it of course braking straight is okay but leaning at the same time isn't something that everybody's used to so I have a short tip for you before you try it on the public road find a empty parking lot simulate the corner with some zones cones whatever you find and then try to step by step braking in the corner and once you get used to that feeling you are ready for the road ladies and gents that's it from the rock the driving instructor so to summarize what is trail braking first makes you faster on the racetrack and on the road makes you safer and gives you overall more stability in the corner that's it from the driving instructor now let's switch to the freestyle rider guys now finally I can show you what my new precious baby is capable of let's go numbers guys right Renato nice edit man you are getting better and better in this bike porn guys it's not just numbers it also looks cool I really dig this orange color you can get it in two styles all black Batman edition or this orange version that I have here and it's not just numbers it actually feels better than his predecessor 10 horsepower more means less shifting I can stay longer in the gear 90cc more displacement 20% more rotational mass this results I go in the corner way smoother power delivery also slower traffic lower RPM smoother so this is a really nice upgrade that you can feel straight away and then front suspension VP apex front suspension is now upgraded it uses split function technology what it means one side compression the other side rebound I felt it in braking in the corner way more stable and it has more intuitive riding feedback beside the upgraded front suspension and the rear it has upgraded front brake calipers and the brake pads so you have more braking power now and my bike has some nice power parts on it so brake calipers reservoir cap and bling bling stuff also we added the fan grips from Boggers performance so I can hold on better today on in the corners if you want to see more details about this bike we have a really nice video in description below so check it out this way braking tutorial was made for you guys to make you safer on the road and unfortunately the YouTube algorithm once that you press the like button so more of other riders can be safer on the road so it's not only for YouTube but also for us to show some support so thank you we appreciate it also ran out to behind the camera and guys that was it this time drop some comments below what tutorial should we shoot next time what driving skill you would like to learn we're gonna read it that's it see you soon until then rock on
