What are the three parts of a curve?

The three parts of a curve are entry, apex, and exit. Understanding these terms helps riders navigate curves effectively.

The entry is where the rider approaches the curve and begins to initiate the turn. This phase is critical for positioning the motorcycle correctly to manage speed and lean angle.

The apex represents the point in the curve where the motorcycle is closest to the inside edge of the road or path. This is typically where the rider aims to be most centered in the turn, allowing for the best balance of speed and control.

The exit is the final part of the curve where the rider straightens the motorcycle out as they leave the turn. This phase is crucial for regaining speed and positioning for the next part of the road.

By understanding these three parts, riders can better anticipate their movements and execute smoother, safer turns.
