The art and science. This is the PDF file version of the book. Shipping is by download. We will send you the download link on receipt of your order. The book is presented in an Acrobat PDF file and looks on the screen exactly as the real paper book. Some illustrations are in colour whereas the paper version is only B&W.

"Motorcycle suspension setup" software. This enables the user to do a full kinematic analysis of a complete motorcycle. Indispensable for anyone involved in setting up bikes or those wanting to understand more. Anti-dive and attitude calculations are made easy. The unique "whole bike trim" feature will calculate many parameters such as sag, tyre forces, rake, trail, wheelbase etc. over a range of acceleration and braking values.

Probably the only software available for the kinematic analysis of most forms of alternative motorcycle front suspension. The user simply enters the dimensional data of the system under consideration and the software will calculate and plot the anti-dive percentage, rake variation, trail variation and wheel trajectory over the specified range of suspension movement. Graphing facilities are built in to allow comparison between up to ten cases on a single plot. You will receive the download link in the order confirmation email, the file size is approx. 2mb.

Software for performance estimation. Estimation of acceleration and top speed performance is often considered a simple matter. Multiply engine torque by the gear ratios and add aerodynamic drag and weight into the calculation mix and “hey presto” you have all the answers. Reality is of course somewhat different. There are many more factors to take into account if you want to get as accurate a picture as possible. For example; CG height affects load transfer which affects tyre slip which in turn affects the relationship between RPM and road speed, which in turn determines the power available at any particular road speed. Then there is the influence of the dead time between gear changes when no power is being transmitted. This software takes all those factors, and more, into account and raises the bar of performance estimation to a new level for enthusiasts and racers of all levels. It is an invaluable tool to help with the proper evaluation of gearing strategies and gear change points. You will receive the download link in the order confirmation email.
