In this episode, we address the most common challenges faced by adventure motorcycle riders who are new to learning the Elephant Turn technique. Mastering this skill is essential for any rider seeking to navigate tight spaces and develop a deeper understanding of fundamental riding techniques.
Two main hurdles faced by riders learning the Elephant Turn are properly leaning the bike and delivering adequate throttle. In this video, we delve into these issues and provide practical tips to overcome them.
During the video, we cover several important aspects, including maintaining balance and control throughout the turn, adopting the correct body positioning, effectively managing throttle and brake control, navigating various terrains and traction challenges, and building confidence in your motorcycle's capabilities.
To facilitate your practice, we offer the following Elephant Turn practice tips:
1. Find a suitable practice area and inspect the turning radius to ensure a safe and controlled environment.
2. Begin by focusing on bike lean practice, honing your technique and control.
3. Gradually progress to throttle practice, familiarizing yourself with breaking traction and manipulating the bike's movement.
4. Use proper body positioning to optimize control and stability.
5. Always prioritize safety by covering the clutch and front brake during your practice sessions.

Side Note:
These agility & skills courses/exercises are designed to help develop the fundamental riding skills of clutch, throttle, brake and active balance by the rider.
Precise practice in coordinating these techniques can lead to instinctive/reflexive actions by the rider and allow for more precise control of the motorcycle.
Mastery of these techniques allows the rider to more smoothly transition the bike when cornering as well as being able to react reflexively when encountering unexpected changes in surface traction in off road conditions.
Depending on your skill level, you may want to make the courses larger to feel more comfortable while you develop these skills.
Performing these exercises carries a risk of dropping your motorcycle which may result in damage to you or your motorcycle. Always be sure that your bike has the proper crash guards and that you also wear the appropriate protective gear.

I've had a Himalayan for several years and I just got a KLR650. I haven't practiced the elephant turn on either because I've never seen a good explanation until now. Thanks!
I've learnt a lot. But have i got the balls to follow it up 😂
I'm short for my bike and cant get to lean it alot before the weight becomes too heavy to support the bike on 1 leg when doing the Elephant turn while ontop of the bike. D:
Seems like when this would be most helpful I’m on a knarly hill & end up duck walking my way back to a turn around spot.
What tires are you using on the bike to ride on sand?
Looks like you're on a T 7. Have a super tenere and am a little apprehensive, but what the heck!
Cool video. How about doing an elephant turn on pavement?
great video, it should be easier on a smaller , lighter bike
