How far can you lean a motorcycle – and is more lean actually better riding?

In this episode of Better Riding, Michael Mann is joined by expert motorbike coach Mark McVeigh (https://www.MotorbikeCoach.com) to answer one of the most asked (and most misunderstood) riding questions: how far can I lean my bike?

From tyre grip and body position to speed, line choice and safety margins, this episode explains why lean angle isn’t a skill – it’s an outcome. Using real-world examples and rider training principles, Mark breaks down how skilled riders generate lean naturally through good fundamentals, not bravado.

You’ll learn:
✅ Why modern tyres offer more grip than most riders realise
✅ How speed and corner radius affect lean angle
✅ Why the widest safe line reduces lean and increases grip
✅ How body position helps keep the bike more upright
✅ Where and how to safely practise understanding grip

Whether you’re a newly qualified rider or riding big miles on the road, this episode will help you corner with more confidence, control and safety.
