What Is Lean-in And Lean-out In Karting?

Well, when you are taking a corner this the way you lean. But why is this even important? Because since karts have no differential, this means that the back wheels cannot be at different speeds. But here’s the problem! When you take a corner, the outside wheel has to spin more than the inside wheel as it’s taking a longer path. This can cause you to lose a lot of time.

But when you lean-out, this will cause the inside wheel to be in the air. This allows it to rotate at any speed thus giving you a faster corner. This is especially important in professional karting but can also be used in rental karting. Leaning-in will not cause the inside wheel to be in the air because you are using all your weight to counteract the force that allows your wheel to jump into the air.
