How to Improve Your Cornering Technique on a Mountain Bike
To corner faster on a mountain bike, approach the turn wide and maintain your momentum. Look ahead and lean into the turn with your body weight, and keep your outside foot down and your inside foot up. Trail braking can help you maintain control and slow down if needed, while pumping the bike can provide extra speed and traction on the exit of the turn. Practice on a variety of terrain and gradually increase your speed and confidence.
