Adaptive Suspension and bikes
Would it be possible to fit, in a compact and affordable manner, an adaptive suspension system to a motorbike? Something along the lines of the oleo-magnetic set-ups seen on Ferraris where sensors gather info. about suspension travel, body movement(roll and yaw) and steering angle and then use the data amassed to adjust the shocks damping characteristics.
Maybe this might allow a greater degree of handling assistance from the bike over a variety of road surfaces and weather conditions. You could possibly have a launch setting that squats the bike down, angling forward to keep the nose closer to the floor for full throttle starts, if that'd help? Of course all systems would have an off setting where the bike behaves without any prescribed range of programmed shock damping defaults if desired. As ever higher peak power is claimed it just seems that less is being done to advance the chassis side of the bike in comparison to chasing the next chunk of stratospheric level horsepower. |
