About Cornering: centrifugal force and reading the bend: which statement is correct?

  1. Once you have judged a bend on entry, the radius of the bend stays the same from then on — you do not need to adjust your assessment further.
  2. ✓ This force pushes you towards the OUTSIDE of the bend, and is stronger with a smaller bend radius and a higher speed.
  3. Whether a bend has positive or negative camber makes little practical difference to how you should take the bend.
  4. If you take a bend at twice the speed, the centrifugal force also becomes twice as large.

Correct answer: This force pushes you towards the OUTSIDE of the bend, and is stronger with a smaller bend radius and a higher speed.

Explanation

This force pushes you towards the OUTSIDE of the bend, and is stronger with a smaller bend radius and a higher speed
