G-Forces on a track

[p.dath]

What sort of G-forces does a rider experience on a track?

[Str8 Jacket]

On the RG? Well where do I start!...

[jrandom]

What sort of G-forces does a rider experience on a track?

1G.

You may notice it pulling you into the seat.

[PirateJafa]

1G.

I thought that was the pies.

1G.

That's a lot. I thought it would be "point" something.

[jamestwin]

yeah I'd like to know as well, hopefuly I will make it down to the track soon!

[CookMySock]

That's a lot. I thought it would be "point" something.If you are on the moon, yeah.

Sometimes acceleration (and decelerating) have their forces presented as a G-rating. Go into the thread disproving Skidmarks claim of stopping from 60kmh in 2m, there are a lot of calculations in their which give you a pretty good idea of the forces acting on a rider on the race track.

1G.

And i thought it was my pucker sucker after i fucked up a corner !!!

[bogan]

What sort of G-forces does a rider experience on a track?

forwards, backwards, left, and right sided ones, also downwards. Though there are those upwards ones too if you cock it up.

Ah, but which track?
If it's banked the G forces can get a LOT higher.

or jumps, flatlanding a jump generates quite a bit of g-force too

[Bass]

Ah yes
I seem to recall that my spine reminded me of this the last time that I did it with my arse still on the seat

[quallman1234]

Small numbers i would actually imagine. Probably the most is under brakes/under power. Rather than the G-forces of going around the corner?

[Deano]

1G.

LOL

Oh my gawd - are you serious ?

[FROSTY]

I heard that F1 car drivers pull something like 4g under heavy braking

[YellowDog]

Of course there will be some increased G-Forces depending upon how you are riding; but not anything to cause you any G-Force related discomfort.

It's not exactly on par with an F16 fighter jet or taking a rocket to the moon!

Unless you brake using a concrete wall. I imagine that would produce some pretty intense G-forces. :lol:

[Coldrider]

PB mag years ago reckon 1.8G's on the front brakes max.

[centaurus]

Some people have actually collected this data. The values are for that specific racetrack but generally speaking that's what you can expect on any race track. Have a look:

Don't quote me cos my memory is a bit hazy these days, but I remember reading an article years back where on the banking at (I think) Daytona, the suspension was fully compressed and some of the riders were "greying" out. When this started happening, they took the bikes off the banked track.
The banking needed very high tyre pressures to cope with this and so screwed their handling on other parts of the track

[Badjelly]

Yes, because of the aerodynamic downforce from their bodywork and wings. That's basically why an F1 car can beat a MotoGP bike's lap times by about 20 s.

[BlacknRound]

I heard that F1 car drivers pull something like 4g under heavy braking

I heard they get 1g by just taking their foot off the button

Next thing you'll be claiming that the tyres are subjected to 14.7 psi on the outside when riding on a track!

G force so great that it can throw you off the motorcycle.

[davebullet]

Go into the thread disproving Skidmarks claim of stopping from 60kmh in 2m...

Legend has it, that was rear brake only too :lol:

Inconceivable!

[Deano]

Inconceivable!

I won't have a bar of it !

[fatbastd]

Not uncommon to see 1.4G under brakes.

Cornering (flat road) at 60° bank would be 2G. A more realistic 45° bank will be approx 1.4G.

You can see G forces here

There is another video with a ducati as well.

It depends where on the bike you keep the Serptilium and how big the Cryotol tanks are.
