Smooth-Riding Reg Pridmore on Dymags

Three time AMA Superbike champion and Hall of Fame member Reg Pridmore runs a popular motocycle racing school and recently sent us pics of two of his bikes fitted with new Dymags. Part of his approach is to use your body weight more than your handlebars.

“I believe that being smooth isn’t just an artful or elegant way to ride the bike, though it is those things, too. you need to be smooth before you can go fast, and you need to be smooth to be safe. I also put a lot of emphasis on ‘body steering’—using subtle weight shifts to initiate turns, rather than being forceful with the handlebar.”

We hope his Dymags make smooth riding even more intuitive!
