Not traction though it relates to what speed you can corner.
The speed through the turn, I crank through the turn.
Riding platforms and being in an xc (less upright) I find any ballance change (wheel position changing) brings me more upright and my arms bend.

On the solid fork I remain low and push the bars foreward, power through the corner.
Being a light guy and a light bike, traction is not always there, and am looking foreward to riding more FS downhill.
Most of my shock absorbsion is in my upper arm and shoulders.

I allow the bike to move under me and force it down, if the wheel moves when I do this -my body weight moves slightly foreward.
Not a good idea with my xc bike with the long stem.

I need a new bike for some of my riding.
Yes it just might have a fancy suspension fork. I doubt i'm needing dually yet.

The supa-nice suspension forks i've tried have all been on loaners so i've not run them in a hard\fast way. Not for fear of damaging the fork = >the bike.

Yes I stack occasionally. But only on my bike.
