Torrent description

The motorcycle is a complex system that has long defied full analysis. For a very long time, motorcycle handing was hardly even considered a subject. Engines, whose performance could be measured in "objective" terms, therefore received the lion's share of development. Engine development moved rapidly ahead of chassis, suspension, and tires, creating a succession of design crises that required new thought for their solution. Examples might be Rex McCandless's twin-loop swingarm chassis of 1950, Tony Mills's wide, belted Dunlop Daytona tire of 1974, and the present-day elaborations of Antonio Cobas's large-section aluminium twin-beam chassis of the early 1980s. In each case, motorcycle performance had ceased to advance because of
specific problems that could not be solved by traditional means.



The book “Mototorcycle Chassis Design” was first published in 1984 and was subsequently reprinted several times without under-going change. Although out of print for over 12 years or so, I know from personal inquiries that there is still considerable demand for a book on this subject. A new book was obviously well overdue, although much of the original material is as current today as it always has been. After all, the laws of Newtonian Physics tend to be stable over time.
