BikerTek and MCN have teamed up to produce four series of exciting riding videos to make your bike time both exciting and safe, the fifth is now live.

Follow the team of MCN’s experienced journalists and instructor gurus, Rapid Training, with a new series of Better Riding videos, covering such topics as setting optimal gears and speed for seamless corner-hunting progress, through to a filtering masterclass, how to be a slow-control expert, and how you can ride to be seen. 

EPISODE 1:

Reading the road

The single most transformational thing you can do for your riding is to improve your ability to see and interpret the road ahead. It’s that simple. Every other skill you develop is built on the foundation of great vision.

EPISODE 2:

Braking

Despite braking being the skill that’s most likely to save us if things go wrong, it gets remarkably little attention. That’s understandable - we ride to go places not to stop - but our brakes are crucial, not just for pulling up before we hit a car bonnet, but also in creating grip and generating confidence.

EPISODE 3:

Overtaking

Overtaking is one of the most complex aspects of riding a bike - there are dozens of variables and multiple hazards. What we need is a way of making sure we never miss another overtake, while still staying safe.

EPISODE 4:

Junctions

Junctions are the number one location for motorcycle accidents. The video takes you through the main mistakes we make at junctions, how to avoid them, and how to increase the chances that car drivers will see us.

EPISODE 5:

Steering

Steering sounds like an easy skill to master, but it often limits the progress of road riders. If you don’t understand exactly how to steer faster, you’ll struggle to ride faster and - more importantly - you can get yourself in trouble if you need to avoid something in a hurry.

EPISODE 6:

Throttle control

The throttle is responsible for much more than just acceleration. It also affects weight transfer, suspension movement and grip, which makes it crucial for fluid, fast, safe cornering.
