Original abstract

Swingarm, as a mechanical element, has a significant influence on overall motorcycle dynamics. Dynamics is especially influenced by stiffness, which must be at an appropriate level to provide response and stability, and also transfer vertical, lateral and torsional loads. CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) allows us to reduce weight due to high stiffness-to-weight ratio.

Czech abstract

Kyvná vidlice jako mechanický prvek má významný vliv na celkovou dynamiku motocyklu. Dynamika je ovlivněna zejména tuhostí, která musí být na vhodné úrovni, aby poskytla odezvu a stabilitu, a také přenesla svislé, příčné a torzní zatížení. CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) umožňuje snižovat hmotnost díky vysokému poměru tuhosti k hmotnosti.
