Do you hold the bars like a pull-up bar? Your hands are sensors, not grab handles. A relaxed grip lets you feel what the front wheel is telling you.
Loosening your grip
- Check at the lights: Could you drum your fingers? Then your grip is loose enough.
- Hold on with your legs: Knees on the tank so your hands stay free.
- Elbows slightly bent: A sure sign of relaxed arms.
Loose hands mean calm steering. If tension shapes your riding, my Focus Sessions start right there.
