Most riders are taught to finish all their braking while the bike is still upright, but relying on "Slow, Look, Press, and Roll" can leave you vulnerable the moment the road becomes unpredictable. In this video, we dive into why skilled riders choose to trail brake on every single corner to eliminate the "gamble" of mid-turn hazards and unsettled suspension. We’ll break down the technical shift from a reactive "on-off" braking mindset to a proactive approach that uses front-end geometry and tire loading to maximize traction and stability.
