Decreasing-Radius Turn
A decreasing-radius turn is a corner that keeps tightening as it goes, so the lean angle that felt right at the entry is not enough by the exit.
What is a decreasing-radius turn? A decreasing-radius turn is a corner that keeps tightening as it goes, so the lean angle that felt right at the entry is not enough by the exit. It is the corner that catches riders out on unfamiliar roads, especially on off-ramps and in mountain switchbacks. The defenses are entering slower than you think you need to, apexing late, and watching the vanishing point for the corner closing up on you.
