ADV Off Road Braking| ALWAYS Use Front and Rear Brake

🚨Train with me Online by joining The ADV Academy 🚨

In this weeks Adventure Motorcycle off road riding tip we talk about the importance of using your front and your rear brake when you are trying to stop your adventure motorcycle.

A lot of new off road riders are very hesitant about using both brakes. They are either heavy on the front brake, because that's how they stop the motorcycle when riding on the street or they are worried about using the front brake and do everything with the rear brake.

In this video our adventure bike instructor Daniel Sedlak will break down the techniques and explain how to properly control your brakes and stop your adventure motorcycle off road.

I use one or 2 fingers for front brake. I usually start with one finger always covered over the front. If I need to apply more braking, it's easy enough for me to add the second finger. But the big thing about having one finger is you have a lot more control to apply gently braking and adjust the braking. I think front braking just gives you more finesse over how much braking. Being easier on the rear brake is where I need to practice a lot more. I try but sometimes like to slam the rear for a min just to get a good slide.

most current adventure bikes has feature to turn off rear ABS while maintain the front ABS and that very helpful for beginner. but if you're used to riding street bike without ABS i think you'll learn it much easier and faster.

This is the best channel to get knowledge about off road riding. I'm binge watching...good work guys.

Any tips on breaking and shifting gears when standing up?

[bryancoombesart]

Great tips, it's helpful to think of trail braking (not as a Trail that you're riding on) but trail as in trailing behind something. You're trailing your brakes- trail braking.

Excellent advice, well thought out and presented. "Turn off ABS" is Paramount!!!

[himalayanmonk]

You give really amazing information brother 👍 thank you so much 🙏 love from India ❤️🇮🇳

[DanielHelc]

Awesome, plus the weight transfer to the rear if you are emergency braking, right?

[osimnod]

Excellent tips that are often misunderstood. Your HQ is near the coast but you're riding terrain says you're more inland. Where do you film these tracks in SoCal?

Salem le frère vous été des crack ça serait intéressant de faire une vidéo sur les suspensions enduro

Thanks for this. Coming from riding on pavement only, can you explain why you recommend applying the clutch before the rear brake during aggressive braking? On the pavement, the engine braking helps slow the bike down, so pulling in the clutch will slow the bike down slower.

Why ABS OFF? I thought the purpose of the ABS was, to prevent the front wheel from locking up. ABS more for pavement riding? On my Tiger 800 ABS is reduced in the off road mode so it hasen’t been an issue. Real steep down hill I turn it off though.

[RevHardt]

Maybe a nit pick: any potential issues if I naturally prefer only my middle finger on the front brake?

Hey lads, got some question for You... ive been riding adventure bikes for a few years now, and found that I enjoy much more the hard and technical offroad parts of the trails than the freeway or road side...
So im gone to move forward and go for some two stroke Enduro bike, my main goal is to develope a solid technique and try to do some hard enduro stuff, but im doubtfull of going with a 125 or 250 two stroke... my current bike its a 790 R weights 205kg and gots plenty of power 95hp (so much more that i can handle😂)
So my question is:
To build the skills its better a 125 or a 250cc two strokes? since im used to the weight and power of 790 im not sure if would be easy or hard to handle a two strokes 250 power...

im 178cm tall (5'10"), weight 85kg. (190pounds), 35yo.

Here in Chile im going with some new KTM, it offers me the best for my budget.
And the Two Strokes choise its just because i love the sound🎉
I got no experience with dirtbikes at all just a few minutes over a 200cc two strokes old Kawa.

I couldn't reach to the rear brake lever on standing with balls contact with the pegs. What should I do then, quickly shift to arch contact or use any extension for the rear brake? Kindly advice sir

[ayman]

why would you pull the clutch and not use engine braking too?

[Davidkxf]

On 95% of new and newish bikes the ABS cannot be turned off on the front.
