A Better Steering For Bikes ?

Pro Handlebar Image

If Jean-Michel Thiers (a former Yamaha engineer) has his way the conventional telescopic fork on motorcycles will be a thing of past at least in the super bike category. Jean-Michel developed a single sided hub centric steering concept. He believes in it so much now he has started his own company promoting the idea.

The concept certainly makes a lot of sense. Here are the advantages.

a. 50% anti-dive vs. 90% pro-dive with forks. The classic front fork suspension makes the front of the motorcycle dive under braking which in extreme cases can cause the motorcycle to flip forward. Having a front swing arm allows to design the front suspension with any type of positive dive (like with forks) or negative dive as well as progressive dive. With negative dive the bike will actually raise during braking. Of course most riders like to have some dive to have a feel for how hard they are braking so the ideal bike will have just enough dive to be felt by the rider.

Pro Handlebar Image

Even if the closest you ever come to a handlebar is a mustache, you might still enjoy the thought of taking in the scenery from a motorcycle. Transworld MotoCross magazine boasts instructional tips for amateur and pros alike, but the biker mag sports an unpolished style. The magazine features 48 riding tips from pro motor bikers that seem clear and useful, like one from Supercross star Wil Hahn that suggests that riders brake less in the sand to maintain control of their bike. re seeking pretty trails to view the fall foliage, put down that copy of Bike magazine. TransWorld also strangely features a montage from an unspecified motocross event bearing the sort of inane, unamusing captions you&rsquo. The island off the coast of mainland China may trigger thoughts of factories and crowded city streets, but as the mag illustrates, it&rsquo. magazine because it&rsquo. s also high on nature and beautiful mountainous cliffs strewn with bamboo stalks and covered by a little sprinkling of, you guessed it, fog. s really geared toward extreme sporters who want to pitch a tent and rough it down a mountain trail.
