Bike Dynamics - Cornering, The Feedback Effect And Geometry Behind Motorcycles.

Cornering

Two wheels fitted with chasis and engine is not enough to make a motorcycle an overall performer. Beyond the power of engine, design and model there are lot of factors involved in the better handling and manoeuvring the bike. Here the engineering comes to play a vital role for the better stability and handling of the bike. These things are very essential to make a bike to perform its peak apart from factors like engine power, suspension, brakes etc..

Tyres - Engineering Behind It. + Airless Tyres - The New Breakthrough.

Tyres

Whatever a motorcycle or a car, whether it is a Mercedes or a Nano, without proper tyres we cannot ride. The traction between the road and the vehicle is made only by tyres. Many may think a tyre is just a round piece of rubber, but many don't know the engineering and technology behind the manufacturing of tyres. The tyres serve two important purposes for the vehicle, one they absorb the shock created by the irregularities of the road which in turn gives a comfortable ride to a rider and two, a good tyre provides good traction ie, a good road grip between the road and the vehicle which enables to accelerate, brake, make turns without skidding.

Projector Headlights

Headlights - Focussing on projector headlights.

                                                 

I hope many people are familiar with projector headlights. Generally a headlight serves an important purpose to provide better illumination of road. Headlights are evolved from time to time. The first headlights used in automobiles before the invention of light bulbs were acetylene  lamp or torches since they are resistant to wind and rain. Slowly with the advancement of technology after the invention of electric bulbs the headlights for automobiles are also evolved.

Yamaha R15 & Honda CBR 250R

Yamaha R15

Yamaha R15 - one of the finest and advanced sports bike that has redefined the biking experience and India's first bike to be equipped with a liquid cooled engine. It has evolved from the DNA of  Moto GP legend- Yamaha R1. It suits well for the riding conditions in India, whether it may be a city riding, cruising through highways or racing, no doubt it is an overall performer. this bike comes to life at higher RPM's and you can feel its sheer performance and handling at top speeds. It is also India's first bike to be tested in an wind tunnel for its design of aerodynamic fairing. It provides minimal air resistance during high speed runs.
