Taming the Track

ATTENDING THE CALIFORNIA Superbike School CSS) at the Madras International Circuit in Chennai is a dream come true for many motorcycle enthusiasts. The CSS, one of the most renowned motorcycle schools in the world, has produced some of the top riders in the industry through its training programmes. Riders of all skill levels will find the Madras International Circuit racetrack in Chennai to be both thrilling and challenging. The CSS at the Madras International Circuit is a fantastic opportunity to advance your abilities as a rider, whether you are a novice or an expert.

An unrivalled opportunity to master motorcycle cornering is to enrol in the CSS. Any motorcycle enthusiast who wishes to improve his/her riding skills should learn how to corner with accuracy, speed, and control, according to the school's curriculum.

The cornering methods taught at the CSS are based on a tried-and-tested system that has been established through many years of study and improvement. The course is divided into a number of levels, each of which builds on the knowledge gained in the preceding level. Riders are able to master each ability before progressing to more complex methods because of this gradual approach.

In order to improve the riders’ body position, balance, and throttle control—all essential elements of cornering—instructors work with them throughout the session. In order to retain control and safety while cornering, motorcyclists must learn how to read the road and anticipate risks. Also highlighted to us was the fact that a smooth bike is a stable bike and that was the key to getting to grips with the track.

The CSS also held classroom sessions wherein we could study the theory behind cornering methods in addition to the on-track instruction from our coaches. These lessons go into cornering physics as well as subjects such as braking, steering, and throttle control.
