About this episode

The episode discusses how low-speed motorcycle balance can be learned and improved through various techniques.

Balance on a motorcycle is often treated like something a rider either has or does not have, but low-speed motorcycle balance is a skill that can be learned, practiced, and refined. Clinton Smout from SMART Performance Centre and host, Jim Martin, examine what happens when the bike slows down, how riders manage balance through steering, peg weighting, body position, acceleration, and foot placement, and what putting a foot down can reveal about motorcycle control, confidence, and riding skill. 🔗 Show Notes & Links: Find photos, links, and resources related to this episode on our website at Adventure Rider Radio . 🎧 Subscribe & Never Miss an Episode: We release new episodes of ARR every week on Thursday and of RAW on the 21st of every month—full of inspiring stories, expert advice, and insight from the world of adventure motorcycling.
