Your cornering position is the one that will provide you the maximum gain of time. If you mange to complicatly integrate the mouvment until you do it instinctively, you will be able to through the bike around in no time with grip and dynamism. - Sport
My wife and I are both over 60 and love to mountain bike. This has been VERY helpful. The epiphany occurred, though, when we both got dropper posts. Once we got those, we were much more able to drive that outside knee into the turn. Without dropping the seat, that is much more difficult for both of us. All hail the dropper post! And Fabien.
The camera on the feet was a great idea; very instructive.
Thank you Fabien and Tribesportgroup!! Excellent vid! Clear explanations and practical tips. This has taken my riding to a new level!
One of the best mtn bike series available. Thanks.
Great technical advise. I worked on this at a local track and was amazed how easy it was to make a fast clean turn without my front end washing out. Fun and smooth technique.
This has helped me a lot! I have been riding for 15 years, trying to lean my body in corners and I never saw a big advantage. Now that I lean the bike as you show, I corner faster and I reduce my likelihood of sliding out. Thanks so much!!!
The best explanation on CZcams.....!!!
Great instructional videos. The way you break it down makes it easy to learn. thank you!
Fantastic video, thanks for sharing. This has taken my riding to the next level.
Excellent. This guy is the Jacques Cousteau of mountain biking!
Thank you from the USA. I enjoyed your video it was very good and very educational.

Very easy to understand. Very nice video!
Excellent explanation from an Excellent Rider
Très bons conseils Fabien, c'est presque identique au pilotage d'une moto . J'aime beaucoup cette vidéo très bien détaillée 👍👍👍
Beautiful man, beautiful bike, beautiful technique.
the tutorials of fabian barel are the best
As a beginner this video helped me work on my form and bump up my avg. CX speed 20% as I was better able to carry my speed through corners. Plus, alot less crashes due to washouts from poor leaning habits. TY Fabien!
That was an excellent video, Nice work Fabien
Thank you for the tips. I think this is going to help my cornering which is my weak point. I realize I've been trying to lean my body with my bike and not just my bike.
Great video. I am totally going to practice this on my next ride. Thanks!
Nice video with good info for MTB riders of all levels.
This was truly an incredibly good instructional video!
The song is called Tell Me by Ben Beiny.
legend! thanks, i was looking for the name of that tune for ages when i first got this dvd with MBUK!
Excellent video!
I'm with you, this video helped me a lot. Coming from a motorcycle background, I tend to lean with the bike.
Great video! This should help me immensely.
your tips are awesome!
great videos man thanks i seen a few they really help me
Thank you Fabien
Amazing Fabien !!!!
Great video
great video brother!!! Keep the videos coming they are most helpful. I'm really tired of going down in corners! I've done some major damage to myself this way. My rear tire keeps sliding out.
Very good Fabien, very good...
What a rider!
Great instruction
This helped a lot thank you.
great info. Thanks!
by far the best cornering video I've seen, great explanation here, and detailed, thanks.
Thanks mate, I have some practice to do
Well done
thanks Fabian u r pure dead brilliant jimbo 65
best luck to you
Im a good rider, but im always loosing grip around corners, i dont usually watch tutorial videos because riding comes naturally to me but this video was really helpfull and I think i lean around corners the opposite way, I will try this out on the trails, I might already be using this technique without thinking about it but I will keep my eye on it when i ride.
I want that bike!
thank u
best explained
Excellent video! As someone who has just got into MTB, this is the first video on cornering that I've watched that has made the most sense. Does the same technique work with berms, or do I have to lean more with the bike rather than remain in a more vertical position?
Very informative, thank you. I like all your videos and the music as well. Can you please tell me what is the name of the french song? Thanks.
Figured it out on my own as a kid... without knowing anything about physics behind it at the time. Trust yourself if you seem to be doing something right ;)
This is going to help me a lot. My lap times have come down a lot, but my cornering is what's slowing me down. This video is greatly appreciated.
Can anyone verify if you actually turn the wheel when you're going through really tight, long, technical sections with trees only wide enough to get your bars through?
I do -- when my bars barely fit and I turn them to get through the two trees, I try and 'float' my body during that time so that any bumps have little effect and the turning I did to fit through the trees has as little effect as possible.
Is it the same for the ones in which you drift a bit?
the place is Blausasc behind Nice
The master....
Can I do the same stuff with my Giant anthem X -2011 ... I think it is a XC MTB... ? Or do I need to get myself a All Mountain Bike for the above type of down hill?
Excellent vid! What't the track/song/music name? thanks!
Definitely a mondraker. Do a 720 p resolution and full screen to see downtube
Wow.
Where did you get those glasses? What are they?
so because it's cornering with fabien barel, if i corner perfectly does he show up
Ok..why is there NO instruction..anywhere on the web on how to turn @0.55?
what about on brims ??
This is just hard to do with a high seat but still makes cornering easier.
2 words. Dropper. Post.
my name is yarden barel and all my friends call me fabiana becuse of you😂
and i mountain rider to😊
Were Are You Riding???
what pedals does he use?
fabien e' un mito
Southern France
And how do i Corner without Fabien Barel
There are just two easy steps:
1. Get your bike
2. Go out and ride that corner until you nail it
what is this song!???
Do you use clip or flat pedals ?
+Glider FS Doesn't matter.
French Riviera, somewhere.
Why does leaning with your body not initiate the turn in like it does with my motorcycle?
+MrTay675 This technique provides more traction. This guy is enduro world champ so knows what he is talking about. If you have a dropper post it is easier to do since you can get the saddle out of the way.
+Tay Mark didn't answer your question. The reason for the differences in cornering technique between a street bike and a bicycle (or even a dirt bike) is that not only is the coefficient of friction much higher between a street tire and the road surface, but the mass of the bike, which is much more substantial than the rider, places the CG closer to the contact patch. Also realize the differences in speed. On a motorcycle at very low speeds, you also should lean the bike over instead of your body as the bike will maneuver much more quickly, especially in a dodging maneuver..
If you lean your body over on a mountain bike, you will quickly overcome the traction limit of your tires.
Coming from riding street bikes, it was very hard for me to break my habit of wanted to lean my body. After many wrecks and the front end washing out on me all the time, I finally broke it and am doing much better.

Great tutorial by Fabien, but sticking Newton's law of gravitation (3.07) in there has absolutely nothing to do with mountain biking.
mondraker dune rr
It's a mondraker. Perhaps a foxy?
I think it's Les Gets
search for cuttys
Sounds like RoyalJordanian
I'm kind of disappointed atm because I've been doing many of this stuff for years thinking I'm the only one to use these techniques but turns out I've been deceiving myself..
very good video, thank you!. but could you please say rikki boobie?
That bike looks so small by today's standards
Actually he's using Crankbros Acid's, and is clipped in. You loose.
the cornering at 4.28 made me wet
to tate
omg this guy is riding flat pedals he must suck! someone please tell him to change to clips so he can benefit from all the awesome climbing capabilities and downhill grip! (major sarcasm)
