In the first part of our technical analysis of the new super athletes, we delved into engine technology. One thing is clear: about them üOver 200 hp crazy engines also only halfway to bändigen, you not only need the very best chassis technology, but also a lot of electronic helpers. This is the only way a responsible manufacturer can produce a rocket like a BMW S 1000 RR or even one Kawasaki Ninja H2 with compressor motor on the öpublic streetßlet go of traffic.

Turn the gas once a bit stupidly at the correct speed and the load is already on the rear wheel. With 200 hp and more, you can still do this in third gear. But schön in sequence. InitiallyäWe would like to introduce the chassis concepts of the füFive new super sports bikes BMW S 1000 RR, Aprilia RSV4 RR, Kawasaki Ninja H2, Ducati 1299 Panigale and illuminate the Yamaha YZF-R1. Then the braking systems and, last but not least, the topic of electronic driving aids.
Motor should have the correct stiffness
ReasonäA frame doesn’t just have to have the engine and the two wheel archesärecordings. It should also have the right rigidity to keep the machine stable at top speed on the motorway and still be flexible enough für fast Schrächange without much fidgeting of the handlebars. Three of the fünf manufacturers rely on the bewähard aluminum brücorner frame. This construction, once brought into series production by Bimota in the YB4, connects on möas close as possible to the steering head and the swing arm bearing. The Aprilia RSV4 RR accommodates the slim 65-degree V4, the BMW S 1000 RR and the Yamaha YZF-R1 appear much wider due to the transversely built in-line four-cylinder.
Ducati goes a completely different way and takes the engine as a frame part. The rear swing arm and shock absorber are flanged directly to the engine. The fork is held in an aluminum box (monocoque)ühears the one on the two cylindersöthe V2 is mounted. That saves components and weight Ducati 1299 Panigale is by far the lightest athlete in the bigßen class.

Four of the fünf super athletes put their trust in Brembo
One für the brand unwögoes the same way Kawasaki at the Kawasaki Ninja H2. For the first time, a steel tubular space frame is used. A construction that you could see at Ducati for many years. Reason füFor this type of construction there will be the space problem caused by the air flowüleading to the loader and its own installation space. A steel tubular space frame can accommodate the höoffer maximum rigidity with a very flexible shape. And it usually looks good too.
The frontäthey are consistently caught by upside-down forksühear the rearäthat of more or less mägood aluminum swingarms. Whereby again Ducati 1299 Panigale and the Kawasaki Ninja H2 step out of line and use one-sided swinging. This construction is usually a little heavier, but allows a very slim silhouette in combination with the exhaust system. Especially the Kawasaki with its mega double exhaust pipe wäre without single-sided swing arm even more expansive and prägentler. The huge dimensions of the wings show what a brute drive forceäften the landing gears have to reckon with. To destroy this power again, you need the best brakes in the world. And Brembo seems to be building them, because four of the fünf super athletes trust the brand from Italy. Like so many in the Grand Prix circus. Only the Yamaha YZF-R1 uses Nissin monoblock pliers.

Braking: Nothing works here without the ABS system
Of course it isüIt is clear that in this price and performance segment you can definitely rely on an ABS system kömust be. And all F have that tooünfe good on board. How quickly is the noble machine pounded away when you have to brake with a cold front wheel. This völl notöterm and foundäAn ABS system reliably avoids dangerous situationsässig. F.ür the athletes must natüAnother driving profile can also be mapped. What if you go fully into the curveämmert and then plösuddenly have to brake? F.üNo problem for the BMW S 1000 RR. And für the Ducati 1299 Panigale, the a äsimilar system will not wear either. The Yamaha YZF-R1 also promises the bestösame vote. Of the Aprilia We still don’t know enough about the RSV4 RR and the Kawasaki Ninja H2. The fact is: thanks to Bosch and Conti, ABS development was advanced. Highly efficient sensors record all mösimilar parameters and sets the möresembled ütransferable braking force on the two tires. In largeßhe Schräglage will first apply the rear brakeätigt, then switched on the front one. This happens at the will of the computer, the driver does not notice anything. Außhe that the load is surprisingly strong in Schräglage brakes.
That is just as important Ürollover detection. This prevents the machine and pilot from moving forward üovershootägt. What through the high focus of the super athletes and their short bikeänd can happen relatively quickly. Depending on the purpose köThe ABS systems can also be programmed differently. For example, the rear wheel ABS on the BMW S 1000 RR für the race can be switched off (slick mode) so that it is easier to drift into the curve. Well, if you can do it … Ducati, BMW and Aprilia rely on the latest Bosch version. Yamaha and Kawasaki are still silent about who is the manufacturer of the ABS systems. What they all have in common: Without a highly sensitive sensor box, möLike with three-axis measurement, almost nothing works anymore. If the acceleration in all three axes, i.e. längs, across and up, can be recorded at lightning speed, then the Kräfte to the Rädern, the Schräglage and the lifting of the Räthe sensible capture.

The highly sensitive sensor box is your eyes and your ass at the same time
And with this technology, which comes from automotive engineering and racing, you can finally do things that even Grand Prix drivers did not have ten years agoühad the desire. What it takes: Motor power control through ride-by-wire, actuators in the spring elements with displacement transducers and the ultra-modern ABS control. The sensor box gives you all the right commands, based on the throttle position, gear, braking force and so on. The sensor box is an eye and a backside at the same time, but is perfectly networked with the throttle valves, the brake modulators or the spring elements. Because whenever an acceleration out of the grid fällt, she attacks üAbout the regulations. For example, if the rear wheel is plöturns faster without the machine accelerating rapidly, the engine output becomesüwithdrawn (traction control). Or if the machine turns around the transverse axis plösuddenly turns (wheelie control). If in SchräIf the brake pressure rises and the front wheel speed drops sharply (cornering ABS). The electronics react in no time at all and büvalidates the pilot’s driving error.
All fünf super athletes are operated in this way in a network. Depending on the purpose köYou can also choose different basic votes for all of themäbe held. With that one already puts the Höhe of the wheelie or the response of the engine. The ride-by-wire can still offer some real goodies. A launch control, for example, in which the maximum take-off acceleration is achieved (all except the Duacti 1299 Panigale have), or a drag torque control in which a little gas is given in coasting mode.

Yamaha YZF-R1 offers a patented slide control
The automatic gearshift also has a very pleasant effect. These systems use a sensor in the shift rod to measure whether a gear change is pending. Then the engine is throttled in a flash and light pressure is applied to the gearshift leverügt that the nächsthöhere gear engages (Quickshifter, on BMW S 1000 RR, Ducati 1299 Panigale, Kawasaki Ninja H2, Yamaha YZF-R1). It works when downshifting äSimilar, except that a little double-declutching has to be applied to the gangräto synchronize (blipper).
Available from BMW, Ducati and Yamaha. ÜThe Yamaha in general: It goes one better and offers a patented slide control. So that Hinz and Kunz can also drift stylishly around the cornerönnen. We can look forward to it. Yamaha wants the vote directly from Rossi’s and Lorenzo’s M1 ühave taken over (well, maybe not quite).

Aprilia RSV4 RR with smartphone connection
The Aprilia RSV4 RR also offers something special: für really eaten up a telemetry package.

Since wüyou want a warm one „Good network!“ „Free travel at all times!“ you can call out to the new BMW S 1000 RR. You trägt a cruise control, certainly an exciting thing on the race. Okay, we’re digressing.
Another look at the semi-active chassis is allowed. Thanks to sensors, the compression and rebound speed of the fork and shock absorber is measured. Together with the acceleration values of the sensor box, this results in an image üAbout the work of the spring elements. Thanks to actuators that act at lightning speed, the Dävaccination can be adjusted. In Schräglage, for example, you need a sensitive, when braking rather a lot of Dävaccination. This can now be changed accordinglyäbe changed. As if you were always going to the Dämpferräturn around würde. Fascinating. And on board with the Ducati 1299 Panigale S. So the new super athletes work on höThe spearheads of their manufacturers are at the highest level. And the best that it für money currently there.
