How Many Types of Motorcycle Gears Are There?
1 Answers
Motorcycle gears mainly consist of two types: the rotary gear and the international gear. Below are the relevant introductions: 1. Rotary Gear: The rotary gear is generally used in small-displacement engines and overhead camshaft engines, while the international gear is more commonly used in larger-displacement engines and chain-driven engines. The rotary gear cycles repeatedly between neutral and fourth or fifth gear. However, many underbone motorcycles with rotary gears now require the bike to be stopped before cycling through the gears, and during riding, it is semi-rotary, meaning you cannot shift directly from fourth gear to neutral. 2. International Gear: Nowadays, more and more motorcycles are adopting the international gear. Its neutral position is between first and second gear, with a half-gear gap on either side. First gear is engaged by pressing down, while second to fifth gears are engaged by lifting up.
