Are Motorcycles Equipped with Continuously Variable Transmission?
1 Answers
Motorcycles are equipped with continuously variable transmission. The function of continuously variable transmission: Continuously variable transmission refers to a transmission system that can continuously obtain any gear ratio within the transmission range. Through continuously variable transmission, the optimal matching between the transmission system and the engine operating conditions can be achieved. Common types of continuously variable transmissions include hydro-mechanical continuously variable transmissions, metal belt-type continuously variable transmissions (VDT-CVT), and variable inclined plane-type continuously variable transmissions. The principle of continuously variable transmission: It involves two transmission pulleys with adjustable diameters, connected by a transmission belt in the middle. The two ends of the transmission belt are wound around a conical pulley, and the outer diameter of the pulley changes continuously based on oil pressure. Continuously variable transmission technology uses a transmission belt and adjustable primary and secondary pulleys to transmit power, enabling continuous changes in the gear ratio, thereby achieving better matching between the transmission system and the engine operating conditions.
