The method

Theory – as much as necessary, as little as possible – practice is the motto!

First, we teach all participants the relevant basics and thus create a common knowledge base. The learned content is then directly applied in riding exercises and linked to real practice situations. In this way, the basic knowledge is sustainably consolidated and safely transferred to everyday riding.

  • Entry into practice with the lean angle trainer and special riding exercises.
  • Then switching to a pitbike, which makes riding errors visible in a targeted way and allows us to point them out and correct them directly during riding. (Active feedback for maximum learning effect)
  • At the theory station, we calmly teach you the body position of hanging off and how the body influences riding dynamics.

Why

Why lean angle training and why at Racetrck?

There are many good reasons to complete a lean angle training – the most important one is that many dangerous accidents can be avoided as a result.

Whether on the racetrack or in road traffic — the greatest risk of falling lies in the corner. Many factors come together here that strongly influence tire grip. The Kamm circle shows these factors: longitudinal force and lateral force depend on each other — the resulting total force must not exceed the maximum friction force.

This means: the more lean angle, the less braking or acceleration force can be transferred. Anyone who understands this and works with it in a targeted way gains significantly more safety in the corner.

Our goal

To make you fit for the corner

With our experience, we show you how to get through the corner safely with the right line, the optimal use of your body and the correct handling of brake and throttle.

You gain more confidence in your motorcycle, in your tires and above all in your ABILITY.

Our main focus is to reduce the lean angle of your motorcycle in order to get more tire contact area (also called contact patch). Following the motto Fly Low – Ride Safe!

Interview with Lena

The fear of lean angle is “natural” because the brain has to learn it first. Lena, today a racetrack rider, reports on her experiences.

Step 1, sit correctly. Step 2, the gaze. Step 3, build up speed.
