Why is the front tire on the bike type motorcycle sport so small? Why is the front tire on the motorcycle sport motorcycle type so small?
What kind of features would you do if the front wheel of one of these bikes has been greater? Higher and wider?
motorcycle wheels and tires act like gyros. The idea is to have the lightest gyro (tire from the wheel of the Assembly), so you have less unsprung weight for stock. the height of the tire directly affects the speed of the tower "in" the corner is. A oblects farthest point falls flat faster the smaller it is vertical. The largest tire more he wants basiccaly stand.
They are part of the design to allow the bike to turn quickly /
what he said.
Low rotational mass = quicker handling.
Lower profile = more pronounced "taper" effect when bent = net handling.
Small wheel / tire = less unsprung weight = better traction on bumpy surfaces = more control.
Watch Moto GP racing and riders like Rossi and Hayden opinion out of a corner hard on the gas, always supported the bike and the front wheel off the ground!
