What is the use of a steering damper?
1 Answers
The function of a steering damper is to enhance the stability of the vehicle, especially preventing the wobbling of the front end at high speeds. Additionally, it can reduce the vibration felt by the rider when cornering at high speeds due to uneven road surfaces. Many high-end motorcycles come equipped with steering dampers as standard. The technical term for a steering damper in motorcycles is 'steering damper,' which dampens attempts by the rider or external forces to turn the handlebars over a large range in a short time, while having no effect on small-range steering movements during normal riding. Damping refers to the characteristic of any vibrating system where the amplitude of vibration gradually decreases due to external influences or the system's inherent properties, as well as the quantitative representation of this characteristic.
