Tip-In Ability: Unlocking Your Cornering Confidence
At Unbound Velo, we know that cornering is where the magic happens. It’s the moment you “tip it in”—leaning into a corner with just the right blend of speed, control, and finesse. Whether you're gliding smoothly through sweeping turns or attacking tight technical bends, your ability to corner with confidence defines your ride. That's why we've developed our unique Tip-In Ability scale—three levels of cornering prowess to help you find the perfect match for your riding style and wheelset choice.
From effortless flow to razor-sharp precision, each level offers insight into how you handle corners, empowering you to push your limits with confidence and control. So, which type of rider are you when it’s time to tip it in?

Riders at this level enjoy controlled, fluid cornering and prioritise comfort over aggression. They may be newer to technical descents or simply prefer a more relaxed riding style, focusing on the experience and efficiency rather than maximum speed.
