I disagree. You only need to look at a camber thrust plot to see that the cornering force does not fall off to zero after you reach the max it simply stays the same or decreases before evetually ramping to zero. Once past this max, the tire doesnt respond to input like it did before you were past the maximum. How quickly the force decreases is what people call "feel". A tire has more feel at the limit if the force stays constant or only drops of a little bit past the max.noobinacan;286672 wrote:
Its a ON/OFF thing and any recovery is either by sheer luck or you have enough muscle memory to unload the front by reducing brake input or giving some gas...depending on situation.
I agree that once you are turning too much, the forces are now decreaseing rapidly and the front begins to slide... your really close dumping it... but before that point, you have some feel where you try to turn a little more and the bike just doesnt turn.
Now I was not considering trail braking with any of this. I have not personally felt the limit of the front tire while trail braking... but I'll get there someday.
