Leaning Angle Training
If you’re knee grinding, do it wisely and know what you’re doing!
- 3 stations simultaneously
- Max. 15 participants
- Max. 5 riders per group!
- Max. driving time – reinforce what you have just learnt
- Lunch, snacks & drinks included
- Very long driving time
Theory – as much as necessary, as little as possible – practice is the key!
First, we bring all participants up to a common level of knowledge and teach them the fundamentals. Then, we transfer and connect the theory to practice through live exercises to reinforce the basic knowledge.
Introduction to practical driving with the lean angle trainer and special driving exercises.
Then we’ll switch to a Pitbike, which will make riding errors more apparent, allowing us to point them out and correct them directly while you’re riding. (Active feedback for maximum learning effect)
Theory session to exchange participants’ experiences and to internalize the final tricks in the last practical session.
At the end, anyone who wants to, can do the exercises again with their own bike.

Lean angle training with Racetrck
To give you a quick and easy idea of what lean angle training at Racetrck looks like, we have put together a video with the help of ChainBrothers.
What you will see in the video:
- A real training session with a group of students (beginners & advanced)
- Video clips from a first-person perspective
- Students’ opinions on the training session
- Outtakes
This video will answer 80% of your questions. Feel free to ask us your remaining questions anytime in person, by email, or by phone.
Why lean angle training and why with Racetrck
There are many good reasons to complete a lean angle training, but the most important is that it can prevent many dangerous accidents.
Whether on the racetrack or on public roads, a motorcyclist’s greatest risk of crashing lies in corners. Many factors come together that significantly influence tire grip. Being aware of these factors and working with them effectively, can lead to a significant increase in cornering safety. These factors are well illustrated by the Kamm’s circle.
The radius, for example, shows the maximum total force that the wheel can transmit on dry and wet roads. This means that the tyre adhesion between the wheel and the road surface occurs in this limit range.
The most important statement of Kamm’s circle is that longitudinal force and lateral force are interdependent, and that the total force resulting from these forces cannot and must not exceed the maximum available friction force.
As the longitudinal force increases, less lateral force is available, which means that maximum acceleration or deceleration on motorcycles is only possible when travelling in a straight line.
This means that the more the motorcycle leans, the less braking or acceleration force can be transmitted. If the brakes are applied too hard, the front wheel may slip; if the throttle is opened too quickly, the rear wheel may slip.
Leaning angle: Your knee on the asphalt and a smile on your face.
Every fast motorcyclist wants to slide their knee across the asphalt at some time.
Our goal: To get you ready for corners
With our experience, we’ll show you how to safely navigate corners using the right line, optimal body positioning, and proper brake and throttle control.
You’ll gain more confidence in your motorcycle, your tires, and above all, your skills.
Our primary focus is on reducing your motorcycle’s lean angle to maximize tire contact patch. True to our motto: Fly Low – Ride Safe!
Interview with Lena
The fear of leaning is “natural” because the brain has to learn it. Lena, now a racetrack rider, shares her experiences.
Step 1, correct seating position.
Step 2, eye tracking.
Step 3, build up speed.
