How and Why Delayed APEXES Work

  • How to corner on a motorcycle, not by trying to find the line, but with defined entrances, apexes and exits.
    For many of us, learning how to identify and hit our apexes isn't exactly intuitive. But in this video, we go into detail about why delayed apexes are important and how to find them, even on corners you've never been through before.

      JJ....Yes. That curve is one giant apex. I've been riding a long time and still find it hard to "choose" the apex on such a curve. Usually about halfway through I remember I'm not MotoGP racing and decide to reign it in and hope I figure it out on the next go around.

    The #1 Reason I Will Trail Brake in every corner!
    Somewhere in one of your previous video you said. I paraphrase "NEVER run wide in a corner, NEVER touch the line ina corner, NEVER have a white knuckle curve, NEVER be afraid of twisties and run for the interstate." Trail braking is the Magic bullet to have all those NEVER. It gaves you the confidence to enter later and faster with the brake light on...knowing that you can correct your direction just by adding a few points of brake....That's it. and it does work in the car as well (a safe place to practice). THABK YOU,THANK YOU, THANK YOU

      It is amazing how slow you end up being when you go too fast. I use some of this stuff for driving my car, and I can say that I corner much better now. Took 5 minutes off my commute. That being said, I don't lean my car. I use videos like this so I don't lean at all. This video I use to keep track of when to accelerate through a turn without spinning out. If it is a problem for a motorcycle, it is worth a car-driver to pay attention to.
      I know people who have spun out their tires completely in a corner because they hit the gas too hard. Nice clear day, dry road. Apex too soon and gas to fishtail off the road.
      I hope to get myself a motorized two-wheel eventually. I just need to have a reason to justify the budget... waiting for a reason.

    Very helpful. "There is no such thing as a fast line through a slow corner".
    And on public roads, visibility is everything. It's not about whether you're going optimum speed for the corner, the conditions, and your bike. It's about whether you're going optimum speed to deal with the unexpected popping up right in front of you.

    I could never figure out why I struggled with certain turns using slow, look, crash, and burn until I learned about trail braking! I first learned about it from you, Dave, right here on Canyon Chasers! My friend turned me on to your channel some years ago, and I am hooked! Trail braking changed everything for me, and it's saved my bacon a few times as well. I don't ride a crotch rocket, but I have found that it doesn't matter. I ride a 1,000 lb. Gold Wing, but trail braking works the same. In fact, I rode "The Snake" here in northeastern Tennessee where I live, and trail braking made that experience so much more enjoyable! It's 489 turns, 3 mountains, and 1 valley.
    Thanks for all you do, Dave! I always look forward with great anticipation to your next video! Ride safe, sir!

    I seriously have no idea why they don't teach this as the standard in all motorcycle classes. It makes soo much sense! Coming from rally. I knew all about late apex's being fast and reliable when you don't know the turn exactly. My motorcycle instructor briefed this but did not deep dive and I think he should have. Most people who motorcycle want the thrill of ripping their local twisties. Early apexes are for the track or the turn you know everything else absolutely needs to be late unless you can see the whole corner and are confident using your eyecromiters.

    As usual sir-you’re doing great great stuff here. I don’t know how we could do it but there needs to be a video on VISION. What I am seeing on rides is people really not perceiving the road correctly. A lot of times it’s really hard on unfamiliar asphalt to really understand weather + tire temps + debris + angle of attack + weight distribution (both bike and you) are HUGE factors in cornering success. A corner is, at the end of the day, an obstacle to be overcome-And how we perceive it in advance versus the reality of what is actually there is massive. How many times do we roll into a corner and it says 35 on the yellow sign-Only to find out it’s probably an 80-mile-an-hour-corner. On the flipside 25s that really should be 10-15s. Your vision and your ability to interpret what the road is doing is CRITICAL and you can’t always rely on the department of transportation. And let’s be honest you’re going to get caught out once in a while-double-apexes, blind stuff, roaming cattle-who the hell knows- so what you’re giving people here I think is quantumly important!

    Okay, that has to be the best presentation of proper cornering I've ever listened to. 7:00-8:30. I've known this all for years. Twist of the Wrist II harps on it. Hell, I've been explaining it to other riders for decades, but that 90 sec clip is SO perfect! Consider yourself plagiarized.
