How do MotoGP bikes get so low?

Posted on November 6, 2022 by Author

How do MotoGP bikes get so low?

Over the past several years, MotoGP bikes have been lowered more and more to cope with increased power, both from the engine and brakes. Combining it all—wide tires, low center of gravity, and body position—gives the elbow-dragging lean angles we see more often in MotoGP than the smaller classes.

Do MotoGP bikes have suspension?

The suspension system is one of the most delicate setups for a MotoGP bike because in addition to the perception feedback it also defines the geometry of the body.

Do MotoGP bikes have frame sliders?

At present, all MotoGP motorcycles use carbon brakes, most teams use carbon-fiber fork-sliders, and many have carbon-fiber swingarms.

Why do MotoGP bikes have suspension?

Ducati pioneered the device that locks the suspension to control the rear ride height, meaning power isn’t wasted compressing the fork, at the end of the 2018 season. While it was first used on front suspension to assist race starts, it later became used at the rear of the bike to aid power delivery on corner exits.

Why do MotoGP bikes have lower center of gravity?

A lower center of gravity also increases the required lean angle for a given lateral acceleration—again because the contact patch is not in line with the bike’s centerline. Over the past several years, MotoGP bikes have been lowered more and more to cope with increased power, both from the engine and brakes.

Do MotoGP bikes have more lean angle than Moto2 bikes?

While we don’t have access to lean angle data for each of the MotoGP, Moto2, or Moto3 bikes, it certainly does appear that the MotoGP bikes use more lean angle than the Moto2 bikes, which in turn use more lean angle than the Moto3 bikes. And this would seem contradictory to the video, which says the smaller bikes are carrying more corner speed.

Why do MotoGP riders hang off the motorcycle?

As we know, hanging off the motorcycle is one way to reduce lean angle for a given lateral acceleration, at least partially offsetting those factors that increase the required lean angle. Combining it all—wide tires, low center of gravity, and body position—gives the elbow-dragging lean angles we see more often in MotoGP than the smaller classes.

Are Moto3 bikes faster than MotoGP bikes in corners?

Using data from Phillip Island, it said that in corners the Moto3 bikes are up to 7.5 mph faster than the MotoGP bikes. I would like to see the stats on lean angle because it would seem the MotoGP bikes have a greater lean angle. Is this so?
