Default Re: Knee sliders .. whats the point ?

I find a lot of the time I'm faster when not hanging off with any mind to getting knee down. Almost certainly due to extra attention paid to setting up the next corner, getting the perfect line etc.

However when you get a smooth, open corner I find it's a great confidence booster to have sliders on as you can just set your body position and crank it over and know you'll get a scrape before the pegs dig in and spit you off.


If you want to get your knee down go do it. It's bloody good fun.
