Squid-peg. If it had been wearing gear it'd be fine.

lol, dems motogp freaks are crazy! Also love the design, it's obviously designed to do that as it's mounted on the bike with a hex bolt ready to be replaced in an instant. I always wonder how those teams get the bikes ready after a crash so fast, now I've seen another piece that shows they are engineered to take a crash. Amazing those bikes and riders.

Asphalt is merciless !!!

Why the pegs of our bikes are fold-able and that one was fixed?

Good question. The shift lever was a folding type.

Maybe it's mounted so high that if it touches the ground then your tyres aren't on the tarmac anymore... so there's no need for it to fold up. Ours (ninjette stock pegs) are clearly mounted low enough to scrape at relatively tame lean angles. I scraped my right peg only once... scared the crap out of me!

This is one reason, the pegs are raised for ground clearance (I dragged mine constantly before I raised mine) at stock height it scrapes at a decent lean angle, not really tame if you're thinking street riding (this is assuming you remove the feelers and are scraping the actual peg)

the reason they're fixed is for leverage, sometimes you put a lot of weight onto a peg while riding track and the last thing you want is for the peg to start moving around as you're trying to be as stable as possible on the bike. It also acts more as a slider, as it did in this video, to potentially protect more important parts in a lowside crash
