The Ideal Line: Entry, Apex, and Exit

Master the 'ideal line' for motorcycle cornering, a vital skill for the Dutch A2 license exam and safe riding. This technique uses a wide entry, deep apex, and wide exit path to reduce lean angle and maximize visibility through curves. By improving control on your 35 kW motorcycle, this strategy enhances safety, boosts exam readiness for the CBR theory test, and builds confidence for navigating all road situations in the Netherlands.

Braking Before and Accelerating Through Curves

This lesson teaches the essential A2 motorcycle technique of braking before entering a curve and using smooth throttle control from the apex to the exit for maximum stability. It is a critical component of the 'Curve Negotiation' unit for the Dutch A2 license theory exam. Mastering this speed management skill prevents common mistakes, ensures motorcycle control throughout the turn, and is vital for both exam success and safe, confident riding on Dutch roads.

Body Positioning and Leaning

This lesson teaches how body position and leaning affect motorcycle stability and control during turns, which is essential for the Dutch A2 theory exam and real-world riding. You will learn to actively use your body weight to influence the bike's lean angle for better grip and safety. The key techniques include looking through the turn and maintaining a relaxed grip to achieve smoother, more secure cornering, directly improving your exam performance and on-road confidence.
