Panic Braking, Do You Use the Clutch? | Motorcycle Training Concepts
Hello everyone, welcome to another edition of Nick's friction Zone. In this video I would like to touch on a controversial topic in the motorcycle community.
Let's say, you are in situation where you are riding down the street, and for unforeseen circumstances, you need to perform emergency or panic braking to stop your bike as soon as possible. When that happens, in addition to use your brakes, will you pull the clutch to downshift? Or will you just ignore the clutch and focus on braking? Which technique will give you the best chance of avoiding or surviving a head on collision? What about downshifting? How much does engine braking really help you? Is it just a myth?
As we discuss this topic, I welcome the motorcycle community to share your experiences and preferred technique. Not every bike is the same. Not every rider is the same. Not every environment is the same. You could live in a metropolitan urban environment. Maybe you are lucky to live and ride in a quite rural neighborhood. Are you a weekend warrior? Are you a commuter? Let's talk and share our perspectives to the rest of the community.
