Abstract

The primary objective of this work is to design and develop a hybrid chassis for a two-wheeler motorcycle. Perimeter and Trellis are the most commonly used chassis types in motorcycles. Designing a new hybrid chassis of a two-wheeler for better high-speed stability and agility. Trellis frame is meant for good stiffness and rigidity, which is required for track scenarios, trellis frame consists of metal tubes arranged in triangulated reinforcements, these triangulated trusses eliminate additional resonance frequencies. While a Perimeter frame has a bit of flex and are compact in nature which is used for road-going scenarios. However, chassis stiffness is the most fascinating area of chassis design, as it reduces the overall vibrations induced in a frame which helps in having multiple ways to mount the engine depending on the resonance factors. Engineers want the frame and ancillaries to offer excellent longitudinal stiffness, so the bike stays straight and stable while pulling 1.5g during braking, and they also want enough stiffness so the bike reacts to rider steering inputs. By combining both the parameters and characteristics of perimeter and trellis frame, vibrations can be reduced and both stability and agility are achieved.
