Pitbikes & motorcycles for lean angle training

Our motorcycles for lean angle training are based on a Suzuki SV 650 and the Pitbike Trckline E and Trckline R. These are basically standard bikes that have not undergone any modifications to improve their handling. The Suzuki SV 650 has an output of approx. 76 hp, while the Trckline E and Trckline R have approx. 16 hp.

Only the lean angle extension arms and an additional safety device (kill switch) were added to the motorcycles for the safety of the participants. We can adjust the lean angle from 30 to 50 degrees depending on the progress of the participant.

Of course, the motorcycles are well maintained and in excellent technical condition.

Why we use a Suzuki SV 650 for training

The aim of lean angle training is to improve your riding skills and focus on yourself and your motorcycle.

Motorcycles with rough or aggressive handling, or excessive and overwhelming engine power, are counterproductive when it comes to learning new riding skills. For us, it is important that the setup is right so that our participants can concentrate fully on improving their riding skills.

Therefore, our requirements for the lean angle training motorcycle are as follows:

1. Good-natured and neutral handling of the bike
2. Controllable and linear engine performance
3. Suitable seat height
4. Good motorcycle geometry
5. Light and neutral steering response, even at low speeds
6. Reliable technology
7. Controllable handling at its limits

That’s why we use Pitbikes for training

Pitbikes are a great way to work on your weak points on a motorbike. Due to the short wheelbase in combination with the small wheels (low gyroscopic forces) and the small chassis, it reacts very strongly to unwanted impulses such as weight shifting, gripping the handlebars too tightly, etc.

These reactions of the Pitbike allow us to identify your weak points and address and improve them directly.

During our lean angle training sessions, you can concentrate fully on improving your riding skills.
