I think it’s more like this to do with balance… They’re pretty hanging in the curve, and then they’ve been flipped over? But if it doesn’t know it is just a guess 😀

Just read it, many drivers make the unconscious there is no special reason for it. Many do not notice it, as I said, but then say that it would feel normal. https://www.motorsport-magazin.com/motogp/news-159346-warum-die-fahrer-ihr-bein-zuseite-halten/

Thanks for the link. It became clear that the “extension” before a curve probably has no physical reason. Rather a mind. Interressant.

In cross and supermoto, the placement of the inside leg is widespread. You can speak of usual. The technique improves the sense of balance and line. However, the leg is stretched forward due to the other geometry and it also remains exhibited much longer. (no hanging off)

Some drivers from the road bike championships have adapted this technique. And even if there is no uniform opinion about it, it should be clear that all that a driver does should serve to be fast.

The reasons known to me are weight shift (downward) and a better feeling for the driver while hesitating.

Note to the ‘raw’: (hanging off)

The upper body is stretched to the inside of the curve so that the motorcycle can be further erected at the same speed. This allows a higher curve speed. When accelerating from a curve, this is made even more extreme.

The knee is only used as a grading knife for the inclined position. Although the pressure of the knee on the asphalt differs from the driver to the driver, no one really supports it. Some drivers could use the same knee grinders over a whole season without being worn. Very often the knee is also “increated” when it reaches too far on or already over the inner – sometimes very wavy – Kurb (Rand). By the way, in the meantime the elbow is also very often grinded. Here too, the driver is not supported. It helps to quickly and reliably assess the slope. Of course there are situations, there can be a driver manages to catch a fall over knees and/or elbows. This is a (not so common) side effect.

Thanks – but although explained in detail, not yet so clearly understandable.

The placement of the leg is already about 20-30 meters (or even more) in front of a curve where an oblique position plays no role. In the curve – i.e., in the inclined position – the leg is again applied. How could it be different? The alignment of the leg thus occurs in the braking phase before a curve.

Why – if there are (weche?) benefits, aren’t everyone doing it?

Actually, there is no exact reason, I think everyone makes this out of another thought.

Many make it also because of the balance, while driving on a motorbike the weight shift plays a very great role! When driving “leigh” many get into the curve to get around faster. Some take the leg out a piece of the prodeck doors attached to the motorcycle pants, which then protect the knee and support it on the floor. On the one hand, so that you know how much to the ground is still missing and on the other hand to support yourself a bit high when it comes out of the curve.

Rather, they think that they make use of the braking effect of the air stowage, otherwise they would have to slow down more strongly during cornering, which can lead to sliding (presumption)
