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.
