The centre of mass decides
In a corner the tyres must push rider and bike toward the centre. The line from the contact patch to the centre of mass has to lean until tan(angle) = speed² / (g · radius).
Drag the lean. The same rider from the side, behind and above, with the pedal going all the way round.
Theory for rider and bike as one body: lateral force = g·tan(lean). Illustration, not measured data.
In a corner the tyres must push rider and bike toward the centre. The line from the contact patch to the centre of mass has to lean until tan(angle) = speed² / (g · radius).
If the rider hangs inward, the centre of mass can sit just as far inside while the bike itself stands more upright. The flat middle of the tyre gets more to work with before the edge takes over.
The sensor sits on the bike and reads the bike’s lean, not the body’s. That is why two riders in the same corner can show different angles.
tan(θ) = v² / (g · r) · 45° means 1 g lateral
44 PX / 64 PX, light and dark
Krengo logs your bike’s lean angle and draws it on the map after the ride.
