WHEELBASE EXPLAINED! | Motorcycle racing geometry
The wheelbase affects many things on a motorcycle, and many things affect it! It influences how a bike corners, how much the bike pitches, how the tyres are loaded and much more, so understanding it is crucial in racing.
Aaron from Zero One Racing (www.zerooneracing.com) explains what wheelbase is, how it affects the bike and why there may be more to it than you'd think!

Trail is crucial to motorcycle setup. It has a major effect on the handling of the bike, and to achieve the fastest possible race setup, setting up the trail correctly is paramount. Aaron from Zero One Racing (www.zerooneracing.com) explains what trail actually is (along with rake and offset) and why it's so important, while delving into the actual science and mechanics behind trail.

Swingarm Pivot Adjustment Explained! | FASTER CORNER EXIT?
zhlédnutí 10KPřed 4 lety
If you've ever wondered why some motorcycles have adjustable swingarm pivots, this is the video for you! Hint... it may help you get a better corner exit due to something called anti-squat! This is a common adjustment found in MotoGP and on Superbikes, but it's now commonly found on standard sports bikes too - Ducati V4R, Aprilia RSV4 and BMW S1000RR M, to name just a few!

    is the swing arm pivot point on a motorcycle fixed(non mobile) yes? i know you just said we can move it up or down but after adjustment is done it is tightened and it will not move on its own right?

    Increasing offset decreases trail... and increasing rake increases trail... so if both of these changes were made to achieve the same trail, how would that effect steering?

  • @timdavis6088
    @timdavis6088 Před rokem

    I accomplish a similar effect by dragging the rear bake mid corner if I start to feel the bike running wide. Saved my bacon more than once by tightening my line without letting off the throttle and standing the bike up.

    • @ianfox7463
      @ianfox7463 Před 9 měsíci

      @Markel_Greatness Mine is already at the shortest setting so I didn't mess with it. The owners manual is a a little confusing it states states (position 1) is the base setting and has the shortest strut length so I can only assume it refers to what's top position not the 3 dots at the screw on the bottom I thought it was at first. If that makes sense lol.

  • @rossanodimonte2520
    @rossanodimonte2520 Před rokem

    What about these following other effects depending on the trail: - trail braking a bike with longer trail is going to generate a higher straightening effect - leaning in a longer trail bike the first degrees from the vertical is going to require more effort, but once at lean the weight acting on a longer lever isn't going to turn the steering more toward the turn? Or is this fully compensated by the same longer lever the centripetal force on the contact patch acts onto? Thanks

  • @mattiapiron8746
    @mattiapiron8746 Před rokem

    Great video! I have a question about it. If we take two different bike, with same normal trail but different rake angle, the bike with higher rake will have higher ground trail, so higher ground trail = more stability, same normal trail = same handlebar torque. So looks that higher rake made a bike more stable maintaining agility, is it true?

    • @mattiapiron8746
      @mattiapiron8746 Před rokem

      @Yash Parmar that's not true, if you increase offset you can maintain the same normal trail with higher ground trail

    • @mattiapiron8746
      @mattiapiron8746 Před rokem

      @Yash Parmar simple math. Take an example, wheel radius of 300mm, rake angle of 25°, offset of 46mm, normal trail is 80.8mm, ground trail is 89mm. If you modify rake to 30° and offset to 69.2mm normal trail is still 80.8mm but ground trail will be 93.3mm

  • @dastrix80
    @dastrix80 Před 2 lety

    I have adjustment pivot height. I'm getting excess wheel spin on corner exit but the bike does not run wide, intact overall handling is excellent on track. My wheel spin goes as high as 17% ad my software provides data channels for this. Would lowering the pivot assist in reducing spin and increasing drive grip.

    • @ssrsuspension8247
      @ssrsuspension8247 Před 7 měsíci

      Lowering your pivot will decrease grip, your chassis balance is probably at fault not your anti squat, hard to say as not enough information given.

    Awesome video! You not only clearly explained the concepts behind the wheelbase geometry, but also gave people some basic knowledge to calculate and assess their own bike. Could you do a video on wheel sizing ? I'm not talking about the people running 250 rear wheels, I'm talking about the handling aspects when going up or down in wheel diameter, not so much the performance characteristics of tire sizes and widths. A video on why certain wheel sizes have become standard to specific applications, like scooters, moto gp, sportbikes, dirtbikes, etc.

    Hello Aaron, I have a question for You. Let's take R1 2020 as an example. If I will make the wheelbase longer by adding the links to the chain, what can I do in the front end of my R1 to help it steer better? Should i lower the bike by sliding the fork up in the triple clamp to compensate for the longer wheelbase? Can you please answer? Btw amazing video! Subscribed :)

    Zero One Racing Hi, what are the adjustment can be made to have more agility? add more front preload and lowering front fork? any other suggestions? thanks

    • @zerooneracing7430
      @zerooneracing7430 Před 3 lety

      Hi, thanks for your comment. There are many aspects of the geometry which influence the agility of the bike, with trail, wheelbase and centre of gravity height being some of the major ones. As mentioned in the video, a smaller trail value will likely give more agility. Things that can be done to reduce our trail include lowering the front of the bike (by sliding the forks further through the triple clamps), raising the rear height (this will likely have other significant knock-on effects), changing triple-clamp offset (this won't be an option for all bikes) and finally changing our suspension set up. With regards to the forks, increasing preload will mean the forks won't compress as far when a given force is applied, meaning the front will sit higher and this will actually increase our trail value. Making the forks compress more (softer springs, less preload, etc...) will give us a smaller trail value, however it must always be considered how a change to the suspension will react in all areas of riding and if this is going to be beneficial to us. If you have your suspension springing optimally set up already, it may not be a good idea to change this in order to influence our trail.

      @victorkkq Před 3 lety

      @@zerooneracing7430 Wow thanks for the details. Yes you are right, my suspension springing optimally set up already, so not a good idea to touch the preload. I think the cheapest and fastest way now is to lowering the front of my bike, I am thinking about 1 cm. My bike is a CBR650F and no worries alot of clearance left. Thanks :)
