A common mistake many riders make in corners is getting their leg up too high.

In this video, we explain why lifting your leg excessively is often a sign that you’re reacting instead of staying balanced on the bike. When your leg comes up, weight comes off the bike — which reduces traction and makes it harder to stay planted and make adjustments through the corner.

We break down how proper leg position supports balance, provides feedback from the front end, and helps you stay centered while letting the bike move underneath you. Cleaning up this small habit can lead to better stability, more confidence, and improved control through every turn.
