MOTORCYCLE BANKING RIG

Our custom-built motorcycle banking rig offers adjustable banking angles for tracking and pursuit shots, delivering realistic motion and lean without compromising safety or consistency. It allows artists to perform safely, even without prior motorcycle experience, and can be used with vehicles ranging from the Trojan Elite to the Silverado Elite, depending on location and shot requirements.

The rig operates as an A-Frame system, connecting directly to the motorcycle via the front wheel spindle and attaching to the tracking (tow) vehicle. An electrically powered hydraulic lean simulation unit enables a Bickers operator to control the bike’s lean through corners, creating the appearance of free riding. Camera positions can be set low enough to capture both front and rear wheel rotation.

The standard distance from the rear of the tracking vehicle to the rider’s helmet is 2.2m, adjustable with prior notice.

The system gives full control to the operator, allowing cast to focus purely on performance. It has been used on major feature films including James Bond, Mission: Impossible 5, and Fast & Furious 6.
