THE REAR BRAKE (🇬🇧English Version) 

Your channel, Sylvain, is the best thing that happened so far during this isolation time.

Feels like I'm getting free one to one tuition from a master. Brilliant channel thank you.

Our favourite adopted brit. That was interesting as usual,cheers fella.

I was never commenting riding videos! But Sylvain, it's amazing! No fancy cuts or CGI, but pure information, confidence and humbleness!!! Thank you really much for what you're doing!! Please continue! What about the topic like: how to find a racing line in unknown circuit? OR Racing line/Fast line/Overtaking line differences. OR How to prepare overtakes? or actually compete. Thank you again from Serbia and Russia :)

There’s one dislike ... Who the hell can dislike his videos. He’s doing an amazing job

Bro, you are one heck of a teacher.. Brilliant work.. There are many people who have talent, but to be able to teach that talent is quite a different thing. Congrats

It's amazing that someone of your stature takes the time to teach your skills to us peons! Thank you and God bless, Sylvain!

I will say it again...best channel on the Tube for learning how to ride tips. Thank you man. You channel is the only channel that I get excited about new videos. God Bless.

It s so joyful to see a real "expert"'s lesson like urs! Hope u have a good evening n prend soin de toi dans cette période mon français!

There's a rear brake?

Freaking love these videos!

Sylvain, this is a great series. I am an amateur racer in the US with some moderate success. I have never felt comfortable using the rear brake with the exception of running off track. I always thought it was a major shortcoming of my riding. I do click down a gear as soon as I release throttle and transition to brake, it settles/slows the bike for sure. From a psychological stance however, I really appreciate hearing one of the best riders in the world state that he doesn’t use the rear on a superbike. It actually takes a weight off my shoulders. It sounds silly but racing, as any endeavor you wish to be successful in, is 90% mental. I am really just trying to say thank you for sharing that!

Thank you, Sylvain! At Laguna Seca I enjoy watching riders entering turn 5. From a vantage point under the pedestrian bridge you can see that nobody has the rear wheel in line, it's always sliding and often side to side. Absolutely spectacular! Doing this over race distance and not pitching it away, is beyond the incredible!

Subscribed! Thank you for taking the time to teach riders!

Amazing stuff Sylvain. Still cannot believe a World Superbike Champion & MotoGP rider is giving over so much of his time to help mere mortals. 👏

Really, really interesting tips and tricks explained by a very experienced and highly respected professional racer. High quality video too and seems to be a very nice guy. Keep the good stuff coming Sylvain. 👍

Great advice. I don't track, just fast road riding. I use the rear for trail braking into the corner. Your expert advice on changing down a gear at the corner entry for engine braking is a revelation!! Makes so much sense. Less rear brake, more use of engine braking. Thank you :)

Outstanding explanation from someone who actually knows. Thank you.

I have so much unnecessary fear using the rear brake on track 😂 this video has given me the confidence to use it!

You watch experienced riders on youtube give great advice, which is wonderful .... And then watch a pro like this guy, this dude's on a different planet 😆, love it!!!

These are by far the best tutorials we can find on real track riding. Well done, Sylvain.

This is so insightful and easy to understand. Thank you for everything and keep them coming ! It is just amazing

When superbike world championship, never touched the rear brake. Freaking legend! How lucky we are to get this free content

Finally someone with the details , great illustration

This wasn't a rear brake lesson This was a life lesson ❤️ U are great at teaching keep the videos coming 🙏 This video explained alot for me as an amateur rider

Wow ! Very analytical and articulate gentleman. He explained these details over 9 minutes but this all happens in a matter of seconds. Consider the 1000s of repetitions to gain the muscle memory necessary to compete at this level. Amazing dedication sir. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.

"You see that board, Love that board"....love it. Keep these videos coming!!!

If you’re into bikes this is the channel of the century. Thanks Sylvain looks like you have two gifts. The ability to ride fast as well as articulately explain to us enthusiasts.

I've been riding and doing track days for years, and this was one of the most informative videos I've ever watched. Every other video has just been things I already knew on repeat. For once, I learned something new today. Thank you.

Great instruction and thanks for sharing your expert experience. 44 thumbs down REALLY! You could NEVER know more than this guy!!

I watched this video once when i started riding. And now 20k km later, I still learning something more by rewatching this video

Your videos are outstanding both for the knowledge they contain and the friendly, modest way they are delivered. 10/10 Sylvain!!

Dude, this is exactly what I was looking for. Nobody has explained rear braking while cornering better than you on youtube. Thank you so much! I instantly subscribed. Would love to see that graph for the full corner with lean angle and acceleration added. Also different types of corners would be great as well.

When I was a kid riding my bicycle I was taught during straight line braking to apply the front brake and at the same time blend in the rear brake and than release before entering a bend I actually still use that method today when riding my motorcycle seems to work Thanks for sharing you inner most secrets...!!!

This is by far the best explanation of rear brake technique I've seen so far, and I've looked up a lot of videos and talked to a lot of people track side about it. Thanks a bunch Sylvain!

Great presentation as usual, Sylvain. Thanks so much!

Real gems they are, these videos of yours Sylvain! Massive thanx!!!

Mr.S you are simply the best instructor. More Power!

All your videos are pure gold. Thanks for sharing your amazing experience with us!!!

Love your videos Sylvain...thank you so much!

Excellent advice and easy to understand! Thank you! Keep them coming Mr Guintoli.

It's all a finely twined dance haha thank you for taking the time to explain it, this video was interesting and helpful!

This explains a lot, my RVF 400 has really good engine braking and to be honest I rarely use my rear brake when the bike is flowing. Thanks again Silvain.

Thank you for this video! By far the best explanation of the rear break I’ve come across. Some great points of information.

Best advise Sylvian , your channel is simply the best .. keep the great work going .

Love it! Amazing rider and teacher!

Thank you so much for these videos, it's really amazing to receive such tips from a rider with your experience and with great details and explanation!

The moment I thought I learned everything about different way to attacking corner, this guy comes up and shatter my whole perspective about cornering. Good video man.

Absolutely awesome that you keep sharing so much of your hard earned knowledge, can't thank you enough 🙏👍 Stay safe and thanks again 🙂

You sir are a nice guy!! ... I love that you've taken time from your fame and giving something to the guys on the up and come! Thanks!!

Gday Sylvain, thank you so much for these videos, they are some of the most interesting, informative and valuable "training" videos on the tube. Really appreciate you giving us insight into what really happens on a motogp bike and how it compares as well as all the tips. I hope you and your family are all well at this time. Cheers.

Absolutely the best motorbike channel on youtube already. Every note comes from your results and your experience. I salut you, as one biker to another. Thank you

Brilliant video Sylvain, please never stop making these awesome videos!

Whats even more fascinating is that it takes several minutes to describe what happens in a split second. Amazing

This information was incredible! Thank you so much for taking the time to educate us on proper braking technique. This is golden and will serve me well moving forward. Appreciate it.

Oh man!!! Such good help!!! Thanks for all the great advice!

Wow that’s some amazing insight into racing! Thanks Sylvain!

Good JOB Mate explaining telemetry, i like how you simplify everything for us to grasp!

Great Video. Fast Paced, Easy to Grasp and Highly Educational. Thanks.

Fantastic explanation and I really appreciated the sort of "let's put this in perspective" section toward the end. Earns a "subscribe" for sure!

Awesome! Always getting best and insightful information from a pro which will always be a mystery if Sylvain hasn't done this. Best channel for riders so far. Thanks a million, Sylvain.

Keep them coming Sylvain, yet another fantastic video!

A true gent and a great channel...brilliant explanations from a man that has been there and done it at the highest levels for years 👏

Excellent tutorial Sylvain, thank you!

I can't thank you enough for these lesson bro. Ride safe!

Mate, these videos are absolute GEMS !

I think it was common for moto gp riders to use very little or no rear brake in the days before anti wheel spin and slipper clutches. Because they would break so hard, many times lifting the rear wheel, that it wasn't necessary. There's a reason behind rear brakes being so tiny. Moto gp bikes can have such a hard hit on acceleration that some riders used rear brake to control wheel spin. Excellent video. Especially after coming from a video by a moto vlogger/"influencer" who got in too fast to a corner on an unfamiliar road, slid into a drainage ditch and said "he had to lay it down" instead of learning how to use his brakes.

Excellent tips. Thank you.

1000 thumbs up! Thx! I´m not into racing, but this will help at the normal road. Very understandable english for me, I´m from a german speaking country. Keep on doing such vids! Very helpful! Subscribed! Cheers!

Thank you Sylvain! I didn't get this at first, and needed to watch it several times, but it's gold, mate!

Sylvain... you're a top man. Thanks for this!!

*Just phenomenal!*

I really appreciate that You want to share Your kwnowledge. Your channel is much much better than many motorbike schools in Poland. I' am wainting for top 50 tips to ride like like You. Best wishes!

Superb advice and explanation of what to do if you want to advance your riding skills.

Thanks for the great lesson. Hope that your content will be viewed by all bike riders. I have seen so many how to videos about riding. But your tips are the best. Clear, concise and makes a lot of sense.

I wish you all the best with the success of this Chanel. I’ll do my best to share it as the information you provide is invaluable. You sir are an absolute legend and I can’t wait to put it into practice 👍

Thnx 4 d tutorial sylvain. Greatly appreciated n definitely cleared some questions i got. I remembered kevin schwantz said that he didn't use d rear brake at all during his championship season. Now u explained it all so well n i understand it now. Once again, thnx

Loving watching these videos, Lets hope i can put just a bit of this into practice, and try and get through my mental blocks, Awesome Vids Sylvain.

The more I learn the more fun I have - thanks for all the fun

Thank you so much Sylvain! I asked about the use of rear brake in your 10 tips to ride like a pro, and now you post this video. Bravo! Hope you get more sub!

A professional told me that the back brake offers 7 to 8 % braking at best, and this quickly disappears when the weight is transferred to the front, the rest speaks for itself. I was a GXSR rider and that advice served me well with a modicom of commonsense.

Another great video Sylvain! I love them! I hope quarantine will continue, so you can continue to shoot videos! stay safe!

Fantastic Video!. I can't wait for summer to try these techniques. Big Thanks from Cananda!

Thanks Sylvain. This was a subject that I was really keen to understand better as a rookie racer...👍

Absolutely beautiful and good insight. Learning from a champion wasn't so easy before. Keep ho the good work 🙌

I couldn't stop myself to subscribe your channel. Thanks for the valuable lessons.

Your explanation is so clear and constructive ! You have an ability to teach absolutly. Great video it is so great to get teaching from a world champion thank you :)
