Girth Brooks Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Speaking of turning a Z10, @RoberAce would you ever ride your Z10 as hard and fast into a turn without leaning your body like this video of you below? I am curious. I can't see how the Z10 can be ridden any different at speed into a turn besides what you display in this video. Curious to know your thoughts.

Werner Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Hello everybody, I'm Werner from Austria and have just finished my first bigger ride outside on my new Z10. Was about 35km. I don't think that there's another way to go into a turn so fast. To start the turn it's really helpful to push down the outer side so that the wheel first goes minimal to this side and you can (you will have to!) lean to the opposite, the inner side. Short said: Counter steering like well knewn from driving all single-lane vehicles. I'll have much to train and to learn before I can go through turns like @RoberAce ! 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a Z10, but I am using it regularly as well. One disadvantage: it leads to (visible) abrasion on the shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At speed for aggressive turning you definitely have to throw your body into it to lean the wheel over. i am more curious how many do this with their leg pressing against the wheel or their foot applying weight to the pedal?

Werner Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Well, I'm doing it with pressing my leg against the wheel like @RoberAce . But before I press the foot down on the outer side for countersteering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, in this wheel it is very easy, it is a very stable wheel, for now I have uploaded a small video of high speed turns. I did not have protections, so I did not get a lot, I'll do better with protections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Z does not twist, you are the one that twists, turning only when you want, not when you want the wheel. It's just getting used to the change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Z, squeeze the foot on the pedal, it is not good for much, the wheel is not going to move, it is excessively stable, at high speed, or you pull the body, or the wheel is not going to move alone by pressing the pedal, you can dance on top of the Z pedals and continue straight.

I do not throw with my leg over the Z, I only lean on it, but I do not push it with my leg, I twist the body and support my leg on the Z, logically having the body twisted and supporting the leg, if I am pulling it, but it's not my leg, it's my whole body, if you use only your leg, you can not twist, the Z is very stable for that.

I disagree with this assessment, after 1000 miles in mine now every turn is j initiated and completed with body weight. I never, ever push the wheel over with my legs.

I did not say pull the Z10, I pull the body, which allows me to turn the Z10 is to move the body, it takes more with the balance than touching the Z, the leg use more support on the wheel than for pull her with the leg.
