This Mistake Is Costing You EVERY Uphill Corner

Uphill corners aren't a throttle problem — they're a traction problem. Most riders get taught to "lean forward" and end up overdoing it, shifting too much weight forward and pulling traction off the one tire responsible for driving them uphill: the rear. In this video I break down three key fixes: Weight distribution — balancing traction between both tires instead of loading the front Motor preload — why you need power ready before you enter the corner, and how the clutch controls delivery Peg transition — how to move with the bike as it changes direction so you stop feeling like you're losing control Plus a simple drill you can run with cones on any mellow hill to build the feel before you need it on the trail.
