[webbikeworld.com] - Winglets or No Winglets?
Click here for full story...
In an industry where bikes seem to be getting faster, pricier, and capable of everything except paying rent, we consider the necessity of the winglet. Today’s bit of diagnosis doesn’t come from about-town scoots; in fact, Brad Binder’s feedback (recorded via MotoGP) comes from his recent experience at the French GP, where he flicked a wing off on lap 4, leading to some serious problems with his bike’s stability (though the legend still finished 18th). The real query to posit is, of course, the obligatory preface: Why do motorcycles have winglets at all? ![]() Things like manging better levels of high-speed heaving braking are also up there.* ![]() Today, winglets sport a duel system that promotes quite the hefty downforce on the bike, with brands like Aprilia, Ducati, KTM and even Suzuki dabbling in aerodynamic technology – all to bolster the gravity-fickle ranks of speedsters across our good country.* Do you believe motorcycles should have winglets? ![]() If, however, purchasing a production bike with winglets inspires you to go faster in dangerous ways or locations… forget it. Tap out before you knock out.* ![]() They wouldn’t have even finished 18th, that’s for sure.* ![]() Comment below, you know we love hearing from you.* Be sure to also subscribe to our newsletter, where we curate the best of the latest, no bullcrap.* Looking forward to your responses, and as ever – stay safe on the twisties.* *Media sourced from RideApart, Reddit, KTM, A Youtube Vid labelled “The Squid Biker: A Parody”, and Ducati* The post Winglets or No Winglets? appeared first on webBikeWorld.
