Angle of Lean Calculator

Posted by Dinesh on

The angle of lean can be calculated using the laws of circular motion. Bikes must lean during a turn to balance the relevant forces: gravitational, inertial, frictional, and ground support.

Angle of Lean Calculation

Formula:

θ = arctan [v² ÷ (g · r)]

where,
θ = Angle of lean
v = The forward speed
g = Standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²)
r = Radius of the turn
