BMW? Motorrad has always been in a leading position in the research and development of automobile performance and handling. What motorcyclists value most is BMW? Motorrad also regards it as a high standard. In the recent patent drawings, the design of the subsidence area first applied to motorcycles seems simple but ingenious, which will be of great help to the safety of riders.

The design of automobile subsidence area will be applied to motorcycles for the first time.

0 1 patented parts to build motorcycle subsidence area

When a car collides, the design of the subsidence area absorbs the impact force to prevent the damaged part from being squeezed twice to hurt passengers. This time, BMW? The patent applied by Motorrad adopts the same method. The V-shaped part numbered 22 in the figure prevents the front wheel, front fork and other parts that have been hit from pressing the rider after the impact, damaging the engine and absorbing the kinetic energy generated by the impact, thus improving the driver's safety.

According to the patent drawing 1, it can be seen that the motorcycle is about to collide with the right wall.

The area with the English letter d in patent figure 2 is the impact area. The impact force may push the front wheel, front fork and other parts to the engine, which will not only hurt the driver, but also damage the engine.

As can be seen from the patent figure 3, when the front fork and the tire move backwards after the impact, the No.22 position and the rear area can prevent the impact from moving backwards.

The crushing device added behind the front wheel will not affect the actuation of the front wheel at ordinary times.

In the event of collision, tires, wheel carriers and other parts will be restrained at No.22 position, and the following parts will be cushioned.

02 passive safety equipment that keeps pace with the times

In addition to advanced ABS anti-lock braking system, TSC tracking system, driving mode and other active safety equipment, modern motorcycles also have passive safety equipment such as airbag anti-fall suit and motorcycle SRS airbag. It is believed that the fatality rate of motorcycle accidents will be significantly reduced in a few years.

In the past, BMW and ALPINESTARS*** jointly developed personal components for airbag safety.

Honda? SRS airbag carried by Golden Wing is the best example of motorcycle passive safety technology.
