Top BRAKING Secrets of PRO Riders 

Who do you think is best rider on the brakes? Let me know in the comments below⬇⬇⬇

Sylvain Guintoli, 1 time WSBK champion and 1 time EWC champion as well as former MotoGP test rider for Suzuki has a video about using the brakes in which he talks about brakes theory and then say: personally I never used the rear break during my WSBK winning season…

Toprak is the master on the brakes.

One tip that I keep trying to get riders to try is using their rear brake in those Oh $h!t pucker factor moments entering a corner or mid-corner. So many crashes happen because the rider gives up too soon on the corner, target fixates on something, and runs wide. If you find yourself starting to run wide just scrub your rear brake while maintaining your throttle. I've saved many a decreasing radius corners by scrubbing the rear brake to allow the bike to turn in faster and easier. It's the same principle as opening or closing the throttle only it doesn't upset the front end nearly as much and hardly any weight is transferred forward. It feels like it causes the rear to "squat" ever so slightly which makes the front easier to turn in.

Good information. Thank you!

Saved!!! Good info. Thank you

This is good content. Keep it up!

good vid, rear brake is essential for modulation of braking forces.

if you want to slow down use rear brake if you want to stop use front brake 70% and back 30% at the same time...simple...for racing rear brake is used more to slow then accelerate again because if you use front brake all the speed force is shifted into the front and will be difficult to accelerate efficiently

My top pro braking tip is... Brake as late as possible. Rear braking helps me tip in closer to the apex.. depending on the corner.. I ride a V-twin Aprilia RS 250..( Road to Race) !! mega corner speed. 💪👊👊

The rear break tightens up the corner, as in it helps hitting the apex.

Trailbraking past apex makes champions. Rear brake mainly fine tunes your steering radius into a turn. I can brake just as good as any motogp rider in a straight line. The braking into the apex is a different story

Rear brakes straighten the bike this alone has helped me in effectively using the rear in many critical situations

They moving how much brake they want on the front or the back and traction control on every corner. They always switching the setting on every corner. Half way thru the race they will be changing mapping to save fuel and how much power they want out of certain corners. It’s crazy how much hand and finger moment they are really doing with changing the settings and then use the clutch and the front and rear brakes just to go as fast as they can through each turns

03:08 proud of turkey, bmw wsbk 2024 pilot toprak razgatlıoğlu: i love his wheely braking called “:topraking”. :)

The rear brake on my cbr1000rr doesn't even work, I use the clutch along with down shifts to slow the rear tyre

Rear brakes have become so important many riders arenusing left hand rear brakes.

I'm sure they're using less front brake when raining

Motogp bikes have additional braking system which similar to a handbrake = thumb brake. Unlike any streetbikes

There is no such thing as) as absolutely every rider uses it especially one a 1000cc machines , once you start racing at the high level of competition like BSB WSBK you’ll eventually start using it constantly 🙃

Where is Mike?

Larger brake disc not for stopping power, intended for beter cooling cause of surface area thats larger

The GOD of the brake is Toprak Razgatlıoğlu. All riders included MotoGP or WorldSBK. No argue!

Dude, you ever been on a race track?!

More moto content!

Nah, they don’t use the back breaks they “back it in”

You miss engine breaking technique.

can't believe I'm a racer, i use more often rear brake than front

Rossi has said he doesn't use the rear brake.

WTF ?? All bike racing has to use the front brake to transfer the weight to the front tire or the front tire will slide out? this is like the 4th video you have no idea what your talking about lol. Also the torque mapping controls the front wheel, motogp isnt using the rear brake to stop the front wheel from raising while accelerating.....

Wasted a few minutes of my life watching that.. Where’s the pro secret sorry? Rear brake for control in both stability and suspension loading is what it’s always been for as far as I knew from my learner days. That and easy hill starts. That’s why it’s so undersized in the first’s place.

If you've ridden a bike for more than a week you'll already know this

Why would they even use the rear at all? Since the rear brake is so weak to make any difference. You end up fishtailing if you even touch the rear.

99% of all bikes come with abs

It's not the rear break. It's the engine being used as a rear brake slowing the rear down. It's called "backing it in." Moto GP uses the rear brake, but it's all electronicly assisted. SBK and below,,, A skilled rider RARLEY applies pressure on their own unless an overshoot is detected and engine decel isn't giving enough slip. Thats why they invented the slipper clutch. It assists in letting the rear end slip for a more controlled transition into the corner after 3 to 4 gear downshifts in about 1 to 1.5 seconds.
