Trials will never be the same!

does it catch fire when you throw a drift? how does it handle cutties?

[jmkimmel]

Does it flip you upside down when you do an x-up?

finely I can ride without fear of an untimely mishap

If you keep falling off your bike, maybe you should learn how to ride a bike or just get training wheels!

"For example, if the bicycle is about to fall over to the right, the handlebars are adjusted to the left. The sensor enables slight adjustments to be made at an early stage to maintain balance."

if you were leaning too far towards the right, wouldn't you want the bars to turn right, (into the direction you're leaning) in order to adjust your balance? If the bars turned towards the left, it seems like you would just fall over?

[jaimer]

^^true, thats what i thought.

[Mat_P]

only way 2 find out is if you go and try ;)

Using steering to control balance can cause you to ride into stationary objects. This is considered rude in many parts of the world.

depends on your speed. go ride your bike a jogging pace or faster and take you hands off(only if you have a seat:eek3: ) the slightly turn the bars right and you will lean left. countersteer....just like a motorcycle. at real low speeds like trials the physics are opposite.

[AndyT]

people saying turn your bars to the right to go to the right should ride a motorcycle.... you turn the bars to the left, the bike goes right.
