Cornering Training Level 2
Hanging off, trail braking and traction at deep lean angles – building on a solid foundation, on a fully closed circuit.

- Recommended: Level 1 or a comparable foundation
What is Cornering Training Level 2?
An advanced technique module on a fully closed circuit – for riders who already have the basics of cornering technique in place. In groups of no more than five participants we build the elements needed for a stable, precise riding style at higher speed and deeper lean angle: hanging off, trail braking and controlled traction.
The focus is on methodically building real riding reserves – not on willingness to take risks. You train in a protected environment where you can understand and refine demanding elements without traffic pressure, until they hold.
Sporting precision does not come from speed – it comes from technique that holds up under load.

Who is this training for?
Level 2 builds on a solid technical foundation and is aimed at riders who want to develop their cornering technique further on purpose.
Are you ready for Level 2?
An honest check – can you do this confidently, without having to think about it?
- Deliberately direct your eyes to the corner exit, even when it gets tight
- Keep the throttle calm and measured at lean angle, without driveline jolts
- Hold a neutral, relaxed seating position without hanging onto the bars
If you hesitate on any one of these – even after years on the road – Level 1 is the faster way to real progress in Level 2.
Level 1 graduates
You are confident with vision and line choice and now want more dynamics and control.
Sport-oriented riders
You want to learn techniques like hanging off or late braking cleanly and methodically – instead of just copying them.
Technically demanding riders
You want to understand how traction works physically at deep lean angle, and how to control it deliberately.
Recommended: a solid foundation from Level 1 or comparable experience – recorded at booking, not as an exam, but as a basis for putting the groups together.
The four technical focus areas
The content is demanding, but logically built up. We work on four pillars of advanced riding technique – each one explained, practiced and then brought together:
-
Body position & hanging off
Hanging off is not an end in itself, but a deliberate tool for shifting your center of gravity. You train the clean execution, conscious compression and release of the body, and precise direction changes in tight sequences of corners. Knee dragging comes out of clean technique as a side effect – it is not a goal in itself.
-
Braking dynamics & trail braking
Releasing the brake deliberately, deep into the corner, keeps the geometry of the motorcycle stable. You learn controlled braking down to the apex, precise turn-in under moderate brake load and safely settling the front wheel – decisive for confident riding at higher corner-entry speed. What happens physically is explained in our articles on trail braking and brake steer torque.
-
Throttle control & traction at lean angle
At deep lean angle your throttle hand decides stability and traction. You work on controlled throttle application under load, calm control of the rear wheel and fine micro-corrections as slip begins – riding physics you can apply on purpose.
-
Mental training & vision
High dynamics create load – and load changes how you ride. You learn to stay calm and clear under pressure, to let tension go on purpose, and how your perception of grip works – and sometimes deceives you. At high speed, precise vision becomes the decisive guidance instrument.
What you take away from the training
We do not train tricks, we train repeatable technique for road and track:
- A solid understanding of how grip builds and how traction is controlled
- A functional, stabilizing body position (hanging off)
- Braking and turn-in combined fluidly (trail braking)
- Mental tools for staying focused under load
- Noticeably more reserves at higher speed and deeper lean angle
Next steps
Once you are confident with the technique from Level 2, two paths are open to you: Level 3 takes the lean-angle technique further, the race track training transfers it to the race track. Both build methodically on Level 2.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need Level 1 in order to book Level 2?
It is not mandatory – but Level 2 builds on a solid technical foundation (vision, throttle control, seating position). If you bring that from your own experience, you can start directly; otherwise Level 1 is the recommended way there. At booking we ask whether you have already completed Level 1 with us or bring a comparable foundation; that helps us put the groups together well.
What is a “hanging off course”?
Hanging off describes the deliberate shift of your center of gravity in the corner in order to create lean-angle reserve. In Level 2 you train the clean execution step by step – compression, release and precise direction changes, not just the outward form.
Do I have to get my knee down in this course?
No. Knee dragging is a possible side effect of clean hanging-off technique, not a learning goal in itself. The focus is on the technique behind it – not on the visible result.
What does trail braking mean, and will I learn it here?
Trail braking is the controlled release of the brake deep into the corner while you turn in. It is one of the four focus areas of Level 2: precise turn-in under moderate brake load, safe and repeatable.
What does maintenance throttle have to do with Level 2?
Maintenance throttle – controlled throttle application at lean angle – is a foundation from Level 1. In Level 2 we go deeper: traction under load, calm control of the rear wheel and micro-corrections as slip begins.
I have been riding for many years – do I still need Level 1?
Road experience and trained cornering technique are two different things. If one of the three fundamentals (vision, throttle control, seating position) is not in place yet, you end up catching up on it in Level 2 under time pressure – at the cost of your own progress and the group's pace. Level 1 first is usually the faster way.
Do I need my own motorcycle, and what equipment do I need?
For the cornering training we provide suitable training motorcycles – you do not need to arrive on your own bike. Full protective gear is mandatory: motorcycle clothing, back protector, gloves, high boots and a full-face or flip-up helmet.
Where does the training take place?
On our closed circuit in 87766 Memmingerberg in the Allgäu (Bavaria), right at the A7/A96 motorway junction – about an hour from Munich, around an hour and a half from Stuttgart.
What comes after Level 2?
Level 3 takes the lean-angle technique further; alternatively the race track training is the next step if you want to transfer the technique to the race track.
