About this product

Product Information

In the first section, this book examines the physical phenomena that make handling and control of the motorcycle possible. Covering traditional geometrical parameters such as trial, centre of gravity height and wheelbase length and also less familiar topics relating, for example, to aerodynamic factors and tyres. All of these aspects work together to determine the overall dynamic behaviour of the bike. The second, more informal part describes the main components of the motorcycle. The engine, the frame and the suspension are considered according to their specific working principles and to the way each integrates into the total system of the bike. Comparisons with the world of cars help to make the content even more interesting by highlighting some fundamental differences between the dynamic behaviour of the two types of vehicle.
