Trail Braking

[VERIFY] What is trail braking? Trail braking is carrying some brake pressure past the point where you turn into a corner, then easing it off progressively as lean angle builds. Done well it settles the front end and lets a rider adjust line mid-corner rather than being committed at turn-in. It is an advanced technique with real consequences for getting it wrong, and it is best learned with instruction rather than from a written description — treat this entry as a definition, not a how-to.
