Ask any rider to point to the most difficult corner of a particular racetrack or twisty road, and it will probably be an off-camber or downhill corner.
Ask any rider to point to the most difficult corner of a particular racetrack or twisty road, and it will probably be an off-camber or downhill corner. Devious racetrack designers purposely incorporate elevation and camber into their tracks to increase the level of difficulty, while on the street natural terrain and even the standard construction characteristics of a roadway can lead to areas of tricky camber and elevation. Knowing how those features affect the way your bike reacts, however, can reduce your anxiety when you are confronted with an off-camber corner, and can help you use certain features to your advantage on both the street and track.
