The new system is a road-oriented add-on and works by interpreting the information received from a sensor and afterwards combining it with the Dynamic Traction Control and Dynamic Damping system to prevent the rear wheel from locking during hard braking. In terms of raw horsepower, this race would be 1,200 horsepower versus 700 horsepower versus 193 horsepower, so it appears that the Veyron has the biggest advantage. The dynamic here is mainly created by the tension between the surfaces. At its heart lies a water-cooled, 4-stroke, in-line, four-cylinder-engine with two camshafts and four valves per cylinder. All technical elements — engine, frame, fork, swinging arm, brake system, wheels, exhaust and lighting system —are consistently designed for maximum dynamic performance.
Other ergonomic benefits derive from the newly developed handlebars, now configured as a single section with the fork bridge. Supporting over Motorcyclists and Motorcycling for 19 great years. Simplification of the power delivery in each of the four modes means that there are now only two power-delivery characteristics: a mellower curve is used in Rain mode, while the other three all get a direct and responsive delivery from the ride-by-wire system. Riders behind those dark visors are Troy Corser and Reuben Xaus so watch them take this machine to the limit now and during the upcoming race season. An even higher peak output combined with increased torque in the lower and medium engine speed range — these are apparently incompatible opposites. They ensure optimum performance in every situation. This is as true on public roads as it is on the racetrack.
The wheelbase was also reduced by nearly 10 mm 0. See the video and what the pilots have to say about this interesting swap after the break. These targets were taken as the basis for every decision. This is taken care of by an upside-down fork with a slide tube diameter of 45 mm previously 46 mm and a high degree of brake stability, as well as a stable response and transparent feedback. The wheelbase has been increased by 9 mm 0. The crankshaft position is now detected via the alternator. But it is not just its higher rated output that makes the Double R faster and more agile.
This brings the overall curb weight of 197 kg 434 lb. But the famous custom bike shop was up to task, as it always is. Our partners use cookies to ensure we show you advertising that is relevant to you. The new engine now delivers an impressive 199 hp; 6 hp more than in the predecessor model. Check it out and add to that total. Plenty of technology will back up this power.
This means the spring strut offers perfect set-up options to meet the most diverse requirements such as short impacts or extended bumps. The angle of the steering head was also revised and the offset of the fork was reduced by 2. In addition, the maximum torque range has been increased to 10,500 rpm. Archived from on 15 June 2016. So, will the dishes stay put or go flying all over the place? The spring strut transmission ratio has been altered from 1. With its extremely compact layout, it is uncompromisingly designed for the race track: after all, every detail counts when beating the clock is what counts most. The new Full Floater Pro kinematics in the rear wheel suspension also contributes significantly to the perceptible increase in suspension performance.
The gear-shifter is bi-directional, enabling clutchless shift both ways. With that kind of wheels and money, she can go riding around the world for a year with a few photo studio stops, of course. Press release translated from German after the jump. Completely new body elements with a unique, highly dynamic design and optimised aerodynamics. The different modes play around with the engine's power output, the way it puts down the power and changes the suspension settings.
Few, if any, bikes allow such aggression to be so controllable and accessible. The air intake duct sits between the painted surface in a dynamic T shape with black matt finish. Also see the Vespa tablecloth trick. As before, the central spring strut is fitted with an adjustable spring rest, damping rebound and compression stage. If the current-fed valve is closed, the oil flows through the conventional piston only. It revs to 14,200rpm as before.
The race bike has a 44 mm 1. The intake valves are controlled as needed by means of a control camshaft. From what I can tell, no ovens and microwaves were harmed in the making of this nonsensical but admittedly hilarious video. Two adjustable throttle curves for optimum response. The powerful surface styling gives the dynamic side design the impression of visual unity.
Dynamic stands for the purest form of racing sport and riding pleasure. . So compromises in the suspension settings are now a thing of the past. Three of those four kilos saved in weight come from not having a front silencer, instead opting for a bigger can at the rear of the bike and twin pipes going into it. The top yoke, weighing in at a mere 1800 g, machined out of high-tensile aluminium, TÜV certified and ideally suited for use with our strong, tapered aluminium handlebars, has a built-in connection for the brake line, thus ruling out any need for elaborate and costly conversion measures. In this case, it is all about acceleration, so you can trust us that the bike adjudicates the win. The total spring travel is 120 mm.
