How much of being able to corner smoothly, at speed , is due to the rider's skills, and how much is due to the bike's design? What design parameters go into a bike that is known to 'corner on rails' ? Just starting to try different bikes and would like some input.
For a given 'performance', or race bike, what makes one corner with less effort than another, given the same skilled rider, wheels, tire pressure, etc.? Thinking more of tight switchbacks, more technical cornering, rather than wide open corners, that don't require as much skill. Is this an area where it's definitely not about the bike?
Thanks,
