Yes, the weight's 'suspended' from the outside drop, but you still get some benefit from a slight overall shift of rider weight towards the front, to keep the wheel planted. How a bike corners is a great way to get your stem length / reach dialled in. When you get it long enough, suddenly you can confidently enter curves carrying quite a bit more speed.
