Competitive motorcycling is all about being fast. However, frontal lift (i.e. ‘wheelie’) has high tendency to occur at high speed of travelling. Frontal lift is when the front wheel is no longer in contact with the ground, thus, results in the loss of traction, stability and control over the motorcy...
