The Engineering SECRETS to How MotoGP Riders LEAN MORE

- If like me you've ever watched Moto GP before, you're probably in absolute awe of how riders corner so fast and achieve over 60 degrees of lean angle.
Well, in this video, I'm going to show you exactly how riders achieve these insane lean angles and corners so fast without falling off at every corner.

I used a lean angle of 90 degrees once or twice... I do not recommend this
hope youre good
I hope they weren't serious crashes. Hope you're doing good now
Can relate... Dont suggest at all
Head Drag tutorial reveal
😂😂😂 haha
Sorry to bring the news, but your explanation as to why motogp riders lean (especially the body position which you specifically refer to) is basically wrong.
Of course you need to lean the rider-Bike package in order to turn the bike. But the body position has a completely different reason. Because technically you can lean your body out of the corner, it is not physically neccessary to lean your body into the corner.
Basically the Bike has a limited lean angle which results in a limited corner speed. In order to increase corner speed you need to move the center of mass into the inside of the corner without increasing the lean angle of the bike. Thats what you explained but you explained that it is neccessary to lean the body but its just optional.
But thats not it at all. Tire wear and grip is also taken into consideration of the body position because when you lean your body, the bike doesnt need to have as much lean angle which results in a bigger contact patch of the tire, due to that more grip is available, the tire slips less and it has less wear. Also the bike doesnt wheelie as much due to a lower center of mass.
There are probably even more benefits of leaning the body into the corner but i think these are the most important ones.
I recently learned the side fairings of the bikes are even designed with ground effect when leaning in mind!
these motogp bikes also seems to have slightly longer wheelbases compared to public sports and superbikes apart from the totally different appearence
5:24 I was right there at Honda corner when Cudlin got shot into orbit. Was blagging an entry into the VIP tent.
I gave myself away by shouting "F ME" as I was the only person actually watching the bikes.
Uhhh…. The answer is simple. Tires. Racers only ask for the maximum amount of lean angle and traction. Tires have improved immensely. Changes in riding style is directly related to grip.
New race slicks feel like bubble gum under you fingernail if you poke your finger into them
Yes, no one seems to talk about how sticky the new Pirelli is in for eg moto3 , 5/5 circuit records broken.
Race slicks have always been sticky. There have been improvements in the compound.

Nice content man !
Thanks Michael, appreciate it :)
Very Informative Content.
Well done 👍
f1 had some of its most sophisticated electronic systems in 1994 with the williams f1 teams, active suspension, traction control, the whole lot. It got banned pretty quickly and things got standardized from then on.
Funny that a clip of Mick Doohan is shown . He used an exaggerated lean out (upper body) position during the Superbike and 500cc days.
Great informative channel just subscribed...
MotoGP bikes are now around 330 hp.. This is part of the reason for the new rule for 2027 of reducing the engine maximum size down from 1,000 cc to 850 cc.
Presently the bikes are hitting 355 kph (220 mph) on some track straight stretches.
Wow❤ best sport on the planet
I really like your content. But I think you left out how hard motogp slicks are when cold, and only get grippy in a very high temperature range.
8:56 What? the bikes are closer than ever? WTF you smoking my dude?
Nonsense, don t listen to this guy.
there are 8 bikes which are close to each other 😂
MotoGP should let the teams manage their own ECU software again. It's obvious that the Japanese aren't big on aero while the Europeans are. MotoGP should let them diverge from here and let the Japanese use electronics to go faster and let the Europeans use aero to go faster and then the fans will see what's better.
Continue bike.
Here is a question I doubt you can really answer. WHY arent motorcycle engineers employing POWER STEERING? I think it is being dabbled with in motocross but I mean accross the board including motogp (which I imagine is currently outlawed right now?) For one thing there lots of crashes where the front "tucks" but what if that were electronically impossible? What if tires could be WAY fatter than they currenly are without giving up ANY flickability? Another way to ask that "what if contact patches were insanely increased on bikes with none of the downsides associated with that? (well weight would be a downside as bigger is heavier)....I just am really surprised this still is not the latest thing! If as succsessful as I imagine it could be? It would obsolete all the current and used bikes for anyone demanding the maximum....which I mean would suck for anyone sitting on a bunch of obsoletel inventory or anyone that just bought the latest and greatest but it would not be the first time it happened! Like the suspension wars of the 70s that had many people weeping
The quick zoom in and out while you are talking is really annoying.
you're a mauron dude. don't talk about stuff you don't understand. please.
Lean angle depends on where rotating mass concentrated + mechanical grip which comes from forces like chain pull and surface tension ie the ground and the tyres.
