1.1 Bike geometry and important parameters1.1.1 Trail (Castor angle and offset)
The primary function of trail is to build a certain amount of steering stability, and it is also of great importance to the lean-in phase when cornering. Both the tyrestouch the ground behind where the steering axis meets it: this gives a “self-centering” effect on both wheels. The TRAIL is the linear measurement alongthe ground between the steering axisand the centre of contact patch.
The trail is the combination of the Rake(or Castor) angle and the offset of the wheel spindle from steering axis.
Greater angle => longer trail
Greater offset => shorter trail

1.1 Bike geometry and important parameters1.1.2 Wheelbase
The distance between the wheelcentres has several effects but, in general, the longer the wheelbasethe greater the directional stability, and the greater effort needed to negotiate bends.
The reasons are:
1. Long wheelbase requiresgreater steering angle.
![Page 16: MOTORCYCLE DYNAMICS I - unibo.it · MOTORCYCLE DYNAMICS I Pierluigi Zampieri Vehicle Innovation Manager - Ducati Motor Holding spa](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021513/5b1996037f8b9a37258cd26b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

1.1 Bike geometry and important parameters1.1.2 Wheelbase
2. Rear wheel angle: for a given sideways deflection, the angle of the rear wheel tothe direction of travel is smaller with a longer wheelbase, thus improvingdirectional stability.
3. Long wheelbase means less weight transfer and more yaw inertia => more stability.

45° of leaning angle means FL=N
60° of leaning angle means FL=1.73N!!!
Furthermore, the Resultant force (blue) = 2N => the suspensions are compressed by a force 2 times the normal weight of the system.

1.2 Center of Gravity1.2.2 Rider’s movements and Center of Gravity
Therefore, the LONGITUDINAL and VERTICAL position of the CoG of thesystem is a fundamental aspect of the vehicle dynamics.
Generally:
MOVING UP the CoG we have more weight transfer in braking and accelerating,but less leaning angle at a certain speed.
MOVING FORWARD the CoG we have more weight in the front: less stability of the rear wheel when braking, less wheelie in acceleration, but even lesstraction on the rear tyre!
MOVING BACKWARD the CoG we have more weight in the rear: more stabilitywhen braking, more wheelie in acceleration, more traction on the rear wheel.

Being an important part of the overallmass of the system, the rider affects a lotthe vehicle dynamics:
• Using the controls (throttle, brakes, clutch, gearbox) as a driver
• Moving his body back and forward, leftand right, up and down in order to movethe Center of Gravity of the system.
• What we call “riding style” is the result ofthem.

The primary function of the suspension system (spring + damper) is to “insulate” the rider and the body of the bike from road shocks, keeping the wheels in the closest possible contact with the ground for maximum control and roadholding.
At the same time, under braking condition, the front fork arrives to support 100% of the bike weight AND the braking forces: the static load can be tripled. Whilstdoing this, it will have to keep its ability to absorb road shocks, in order toensure the maximum braking efficency.
Therefore, the set up of the suspensions of a racing motorbike is the best compromise to manage great loads keeping the tyres on the ground on the bumps.

2. Suspensions2.1 Elastic and damping charcteristics
Parameters controlling the elastic behaviour of the FRONT SUSPENSION (FORKS):
1. Main spring (stiffness and preload)
2. Top out spring (stiffness and length)
3. Oil level (air volume)
![Page 38: MOTORCYCLE DYNAMICS I - unibo.it · MOTORCYCLE DYNAMICS I Pierluigi Zampieri Vehicle Innovation Manager - Ducati Motor Holding spa](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021513/5b1996037f8b9a37258cd26b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

To define the properspring rate and preload, we have to consider:
• The maximum load(specially on the forks)
•The optimum “free sag” (stroke of the wheelswith the only static loadof the bike + rider)

Then, if we want more progression in the forkwe add some oil… nottoo much, otherwise the fork will not work properly at high loads!

A damper is simply an energy absorber.
This energy loss is necessary to preventuncontrolled oscillations in the suspension.
The damping force is generated inside thecartridge, using the resistance of oil passingthrough valves and orifices.

In all the racing motorcycles the rear wheel is NOT directly connected to thesuspension. There’s always a kinematic connection (that is normally calledlink) which allows to:
• Use a smaller and lighter shock absorber, with a large degree of freedompositioning it into the layout of the bike.
• Have a variable lever ratio between wheel and suspension, achieving theprogression we need.
In a road racing bike, the typical lever ratio is about 0.4 - 0.5: 45 - 50mm ofshock stroke mean 120-130mm of wheel stroke, with a progression from 0%(same lever ratio at fully extended and fully compressed) up to 15%.
In a off road bike, the typical lever ratio is about 0.3 – 0.6: 120 - 130mm of shockstroke mean 300-320mm of wheel stroke, with a progression around 100%!(this means that the lever ratio in fully extended is 2 times in fullycompressed!)

Many different types of link can be used depending on the bike layout, but whatis important at the end is the starting lever ratio and the progression.

When the bike is accelerating, the chain pulls on the rear sproket, and as a consequence on the swingarm, affecting the behavour of the rear suspension.
Therefore, the loads on the swingarm in acceleration are:
1. The traction force S
2. The load transfer Ntrasf
3. The suspension torque Me
4. The chain pull T
3. Chain Pull

In motorbike road racing, like in the cars, the tyres are probably the mostimportant factor (after the rider) for the final performance.
Make them work properly achieving the best compromise between single lapperformance and durability is one of the key points of a race weekend.
The 3 caracteristics that define a certain tyre are:
1. The COMPOUND(S)
2. The PROFILE and DIMENSIONS
3. The STRUCTURE.

How is the grip generated?
• Chemical liaison (like a GLUE)
• Mechanical deformation
The bigger the contact patch,
the greater the grip!

In a motorcycle tyre, the lateral force
is generated by:
› The roll angle of the tyre (mainly
due to the geometric
characteristics of the tyre)
› The slip angle of the tyre (mainly
due to the structural deformation
of the tyre)

Given a certain vertical load on the tyres, they provide a defined amount offriction (GRIP) in the different directions.
µx = FX/FN
µy = FY/FN
Normally, µy > µX : we define a
FRICTION ELLIPSE.
As we saw, 60° of leaning angle
Means µy = 1.73!!
