Simply not true? Lean a bike in a turn and jam on the brakes will give you a low side. No wobble.
Loss of friction holding the bike up through the turn. Went from static to kenetic.
- hexaga 3y agoI don't disagree, but I also didn't mention low sides at all so I'm unsure of what you're trying to express here. My point is that a high side is what happens if you lose and regain rear traction, landing you in an unstable death wobble that immediately flings you out. It's possible to regain traction after losing it in a corner and not high side, you just get some wobble which you (more, the bike's suspension) can hopefully correct for. It's a matter of degree.
