Correct answer
- BSu cuerpo se mantenga más estable y no se deslice hacia adelante.your body stay more stable and not slide forwards.
Pressing your knees against the fuel tank gives the rider more control and body stability. This stops the body from sliding forwards during hard braking, which helps to keep balance and avoid falls. However, it has no direct link with centrifugal force or with how effective the brakes are.
