What is the correct technique for a quick swerve?
- A.Make two quick presses on the handgrips to change direction, without braking while you swerve
- B.Brake as hard as possible while you swerve
- C.Close your eyes and steer with both feet
- D.Lean your body only, without any handgrip input
Correct answer
A. Make two quick presses on the handgrips to change direction, without braking while you swerve
Why
A swerve is two quick handgrip presses — one to lean and change direction, one to recover — done without braking during the swerve itself. Braking and swerving at the same time can exceed available traction.
