Body angle

[David Callow]

I'm sure this must already have been mentioned, but do all Vendetta riders lean forward when taking a sharp corner, or is this a personal preference to suit individual riders? Couple of frame captures from the video of Maria Parker on her way to setting one of her records. She leans her upper body forward what must be 15-20 degrees and once back on the straight returns to a full recline. Just curious!

You can see better, balance

You can see better, balance better when your head is upright, and you can move your weight around to help better balance the bike.

Also, this Vendetta has a lower head tube angle, new ones have a taller angle, which makes cornering more forgiving in that its easier to adjust the line.
