The linkage goes up through the rear swingarm and makes the bend to enter the top tube by means of a universal joint. |
|
I can say that I have yet to bend a dual swingarm, although I've bent up 3 or 4 layshafts over the last year. |
|
A chain-drive, not a shaft, transfers power to the rear wheel, which is suspended on a triangulated swingarm. |
|
If the shock touches the frame while doing so do not use this shock in order to avoid damage to frame, swingarm or shock. |
|
The tubular steel swingarm is designed to mimic the look of a hardtail machine, its shock hidden from sight to complete the ruse. |
|
The dimple is part of design swingarm which locates a bend radius on the reverse side of the chainstay. |
|
The 2013 Speed Triple SE features a restrained Matte Graphite color scheme offset by a frame and swingarm painted in tasteful matte blue. |
|
With its twin headlights, its single-sided swingarm, its soft and aggressive lines, this bike rocks on an esthetic level. |
|
Mounting the rear shock in a different position can lead to severe damages at the frame, the swingarm and the rear shock. |
|
Also, in order to improve driving dynamics, the rear suspension struts have been replaced by a double-wishbone setup with swingarm. |
|
The bike's aluminum twin-spar frame and swingarm are lightweight, compact and rigid to keep the weight down and the power up. |
|
The system, called Ducati Electronic Suspension, incorporates an inverted 48 millimeter Ohlins fork in the front and an Ohlins monoshock and single-sided aluminum swingarm at the rear. |
|
On Genius you will find an E-type front derailleur but fixed directly on the swingarm without the plate that is fixed normally between the bottom bracket bearing cup and the bottom bracket housing of the front triangle. |
|
The engine of an underbone is usually fixed to the chassis under the downtube, while a scooter usually has its engine mounted on its swingarm. |
|
The swingarm is 11-mm longer, but the wheelbase remains the same. |
|
The unique design uses mounts on the rear hub of the single-sided swingarm to extend an elegant and Ducati signature Trellis framework around the 240 section rear tyre, enabling a central mounting of the plate. |
|
Furthermore, having an engine mounted on the swingarm gives a typical scooter more unsprung mass than a typical underbone. |
|
For instance, not only are the steering head angle and the swingarm pivot adjustable, but the bike can be adapted to track conditions by shifting its engine position up or down and forward or back in the frame. |
|
Both versions of the Diavel have a Sachs rear suspension unit slung low under the chassis in a horizontal position, operated by a progressive pull-rod linkage from the swingarm. |
|
In most details, the bike is closely related to Ducati's Multistrada model, with which it shares steering geometry, suspension travel, swingarm rear suspension, wheelbase and seat height. |
|
|
Mounted on the swingarm, it is responsible for monitoring and operation of the machines, e.g. for visualization of faults or for maintenance work. |
|
Ransom is the result of 2 years of research and development not only looking for a lightweight but also a durable frame for an innovative suspension technology in combination with an optimized kinematics of the rear swingarm. |
|
As on the RR, an adjustable upsidedown fork and a dual swingarm with adjustable central spring strut guide the wheels front and rear. |
|
The large diameter tube construction flows into the cast aluminium rear sub-frame which matches the matte black rear swingarm and footrest hangers. |
|
Exhaust gases discreetly exit from the right, just below the swingarm. |
|
Using the proven 'cantilever' system, the steeply angled rear unit compresses in a movement non-linear to the rear swingarm radius, thus achieving a progressive action. |
|
At the rear, stiffer springs, a new aluminum swingarm and a redesigned linkage for the suspension all benefit on-road behavior, though there is now an inch less ground clearance. |
