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.
