If your trail breaking your not giving yourself any margin of error. Also, it's pushing the grip limits more so if you hit gravel your more likely to lock the front. On road I do all mine straight up and go round on a neutral throttle then accelerate from the apex or as the corner opens up IMO your crazy if you don't leave a large margin of error on the road.
Braking and cornering is asking far more of the given amount of traction. Also, the tyres i use on track are racing slicks which offer more grip than the average road tyre. Even if you use a more track oriented tyre like a Super Corsa you need to be going quick to have it up to proper temperature and it will drop going through town and sitting at traffic lights.
It's also quite unnatural to learn as when trail breaking you are actually entering the corner at to fast a speed to get round it, you continue breaking into the corner to slow you up enough to not run wide. It takes a fair amount of practice and I ran wide and scared the crap out of myself a lot learning it. I'm still learning it. Your survival instincts scream hell at you to start with. Did for me anyway.
Trailing braking is using front brake into corners, nothing to do with "backing it in" rear brake style
What about with cornering ABS tho? Does the ABS only kick in if you suddenly brake hard? If I’m just feathering the front brake am I not getting the support of the electronics and therefore at more risk of dropping it?
