Motorcycle Handling and Chassis Design: The Art and Science
Download PDF
This PDF provides a thorough explanation of the structure and design of motorcycle chassis and handling.
Project Aims
The project aims at designing and developing a front suspension system alternative to conventional fork type motorcycle suspension.
Mechanisms of Grip
The PDF also discusses the mechanisms of grip, including:
- Weight support
- Suspension action
- Tyre stiffness or spring rate
- Contact area
- Area when cornering
- Friction grip
- Braking driving
- Cornering
The results show that the predictions of the model are in general agreement with observations of motorcycle behavior from the field.
