While in a turn, what is the best speed strategy?

Maintaining a steady speed or gradually accelerating while in a turn is the best strategy because it provides better stability and control of the motorcycle. When executing a turn, having a consistent speed helps the rider manage balance and traction with the road, as changes in speed can shift the bike's center of gravity, making it harder to maintain control.

Accelerating slightly during the turn can also help in maintaining stability, as it shifts weight to the rear wheel, increasing tire grip and enhancing the bike’s cornering ability. This is particularly important on a motorcycle, where the lean angle and speed must be managed carefully to avoid losing traction and potentially causing a fall.

Conversely, slowing down significantly can lead to instability, especially if done abruptly, as it can transfer weight forward and cause the rear wheel to lose grip. Rapid acceleration during a turn can result in a loss of control because it may cause the bike to tip or slide. Coasting without changing speed can also be problematic, as it doesn't allow for any adjustments needed to navigate the turn effectively or respond to changing road conditions.
