The rider hangs in the corner.

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.

Why does the body hang in?

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).

Body in, bike up

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.

This is what Krengo measures

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

Krengo logs your bike’s lean angle and draws it on the map after the ride.
