Changes to the technical regulations of the motorcycle racing world classes introduced the
new Moto2 category. The vehicles are prototypes that use single-brand tyres and engines …

Mass minimization is a key objective for the design of racing motorcycle wheels. The
structural optimization of a front motorcycle wheel is presented in the paper. Topology …

On the majority of motorcycles, the body structure is a framed construction. In the process of
structural design for the motorcycle frame, a numerical optimization assisted by computer is …

The design of the tubular frame of a chopper motorcycle is a challenging engineering
problem due in part to the conflicting nature between the two main design criteria, namely, to …

This paper proposes a methodology for designing motorcycle tubular frames using
simulation software such as MATLAB/Simulink and ANSYS, which provides an efficient and …

In order to meet today's vehicle design requirements and to improve the cost and fuel
efficiency, there is an increasing interest to design light-weight and cost-effective vehicle …

In motorsport applications the adoption of a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation
is a well-established practice. This analysis is very useful to understand and optimize the …

Acceleration, braking and turning capabilities are widely influenced by the parameters of the
suspension systems. In this paper a geometric configuration of a rear suspension that fits a …

The scope of this paper is the application of evolutionary optimization methods to the
development of composite fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) racing motorcycle rims. The mass …

This paper provides a benchmark for motorcycle rear suspension systems. The main goal is
to determine whether any of the suspension systems provides clear advantages over the …
