What is the function of motorcycle crash bars?
1 Answers
Motorcycle crash bars serve as a buffer and protective measure in hazardous situations. Advantages of crash bars: When a motorcycle equipped with crash bars falls, the crash bars make initial contact with the road surface. They then deform under force, dissipating the motorcycle's kinetic energy, thereby cushioning the impact and reducing damage to the bike's body. The lateral support provided by crash bars ensures that during a fall, the crash bars and exhaust pipe hit the ground first, creating a safer space for the rider, especially protecting the legs from injury. Risks of not having crash bars: In the event of a fall, motorcycles without crash bars can trap the rider's legs. Even if no crushing injury occurs, the high temperatures of the engine and muffler can easily cause burns.
