Motorbike Aerodynamics
« on: June 24, 2021, 05:15:38 PM »

Hi everyone,

we had the honor to interview Mv Agusta on how they improve the aerodynamics of their Moto2 bike:
- https://airshaper.com/videos/race-talk-with-mv-agusta-top-aerodynamic-priorities-for-moto-gp-bikes/BUkaejkHRn8
- https://airshaper.com/videos/race-talk-with-mv-agusta-how-to-improve-moto-gp-aerodynamics/fGNdMaVft_w
I much hope you like these and I'm curious for your feedback!

We're working for some of the electric motorbike manufacturers as well, but unfortunately we haven't been allowed to name them or do an interview.
Hopefully that will change soon, as it's a crucial topic in terms of not just performance but especially the range of electric motorbikes.

Kind regards,

Wouter.

Thank god someone is.
One of the biggest problems with emotorcycles is top speed and range from lower power. Yet most of the emotorcycle manufacturers are producing retro parachutes, with the Cx of a brick ( actually probably worse)

This is a stupid problem with a simple fix. Remove the aerodynamic restrictions in the FIM handbook. Streamlining was killed in 1957 and trying to min-max with the rules in place is just moronic. Overhaul the system already. Goddamn. This isn't hard.

Racing improves the breed is a lie. Racing rules protect dominant corporations that will accept minimal improvement at low cost.
