It’s better to use fox or Polaris suspensions designed for ATVs. Most probably there would be a need of 6 Inch play in the wheel and considering the motion ratio of 0.6 there would be a need of 10-inch play and therefore no bikes are designed to this spring compression. You can use bike suspension […]
This work presents a dynamical analysis of the transmissibility of an off-road vehicle rear suspension, which was developed in CEFET-RJ for the Mini-Baja / SAE-Brazil competition. A finite element model was developed to identify the critical points of the structure. Afterwards, electric strain gages were bonded at the most critical points to measure the dynamic […]
I’ve noticed a lot of colleges are running air shock’s instead of coilovers, this shocked me because in a fullsize vehicle air shocks tend to over heat easily at high speeds, thus loosing their valving and tending to raise the ride height, because of this there only really recommended for rockcrawlers. what advantages are there to […]
This Book consists in a definition and analysis of BAJA suspension geometry to an off-road vehicle. The suspension selection is accomplished through the study of its geometric characteristics to design its dimensions and position of installation in the vehicle according to the expected behavior. The current suspension of the vehicle, on the front and rear […]
Ride rate is defined as vertical force per unit vertical displacement of the tire ground contact with respect to chasis. Roll rate is defined as torque resisting body roll per degree of body roll. Assumption made in calculation. 0 degree camber change with ride no tire lateral distortion. steady state cornering ie without longitudinal acceleration. […]
