Motorcycle Rider Assessment
Discover Your Strengths. Identify Your Opportunities. Ride With Greater Confidence.
Have you ever wondered how good your motorcycle riding really is?
The SmoothRider Motorcycle Rider Assessment provides a professional evaluation of your current riding ability through an observed road ride and detailed video analysis. There is no test to pass and no pressure to perform—just an honest assessment of your strengths and opportunities for improvement.
Whether you have recently passed your test, returned to riding after a break or simply want an independent opinion of your riding, this assessment provides valuable insight into your skills and confidence on the road.
What Is Included?
Your Rider Assessment includes:
A pre-ride discussion to understand your riding experience and objectives.
An observed road ride of approximately 90 minutes on a variety of road types.
Video recording of key sections of your ride.
Observation by an experienced SmoothRider coach.
A comprehensive written assessment report, sent to you after the assessment.
Personal recommendations to help you continue developing as a rider.
There is no mentoring or coaching during the assessment ride, allowing us to observe your natural riding style and provide an accurate evaluation.
