Sudden loss of traction is one of the most dangerous situations motorcycle riders can encounter—whether it’s wet pavement, loose gravel, or mud on the trail. In this Rider Skills Plus episode, expert instructor Clinton Smout from Smart Adventures shares four essential riding techniques to help you stay upright and in control when the surface turns slippery.
We then speak with ex-racer and IMS Products owner Scott Wright about how your foot pegs—one of the most overlooked contact points—can dramatically affect control and confidence, especially in low-traction situations.
Whether you ride adventure bikes, dual-sport, or street motorcycles, these tips will help you handle unpredictable riding conditions with more skill and confidence.
