Motorcycle Handling and Chassis Design: The Art and Science

by Tony Foale

Motorcycle Handling and Chassis Design: The Art and Science Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:


Unlike their car driving counterparts, a large proportion of motorcycle enthusiasts share an intense interest in how their vehicles work and how to get the best from them.

Motorcycle Handling and Chassis Design gives a thorough explanation of the structure and performance of motorcycle frames and other chassis components.

Written with the minimum of mathematics to appeal to the widest possible range of enthusiasts, from engineer to the layman, it is nevertheless based on sound principles of physics. Illustrated profusely with photos, diagrams and many graphs it gives a clear account of the many factors involved in motorcycle handling behaviour. In a simple logical step by step process it leads the reader through the details of tyre behaviour, anti-squat geometry, suspension characteristics plus much more, including the first widely published description of the detail mechanism of the lean-in process. Showing exactly just what part gyroscopic reactions and tyre forces play in this vitally important topic.
