Afraid about a highsider or a sliding front tyre ?

Now Bosch wants to take things further by introducing anti-slide technology.

Bosch the German technology firm is attempting to use high-pressure gas that's forced out of a nozzle to help right a sliding motorcycle.

The technology being tested isn't new though, and is similar to the technique used by astronauts to navigate in zero gravity. The Bosch anti-slide system uses a device similar to the airbag inflator in cars to provide an external lateral force when the tyres of a motorcycle lose traction. In other words, when a bike begins to slide and fall, pressurised gas thrusters will repulse and straighten the bike.

DUNLOP GEOMAX MX33 launched.

  • Geomax MX33: Successor to the MX3S soft terrain tyre
  • New MXGP proven technologies
  • An industry first from Dunlop – an MX tyre for multi-terrain use

Last year, Dunlop tested new technologies in MXGP races. An improved tread pattern was tested with tie-bars between shoulder blocks.

This, coupled with a new block arrangement provided higher resistance against cracking when ridden on firm intermediate terrain. Dunlop also found this resistance was also helped by an all-new compound with higher shear resistance. By incorporating such technologies into the Geomax MX33, Dunlop has created a tyre with a greater range of capabilities than its forerunner, the race-winning Geomax MX3S.

The handling of a motorcycle tire is influenced not only by its width, but also by its tire contour.

Large center radius and flat shoulder parts make unwieldy, but bring bearing surface when driving straight ahead and thus mileage (touring tires). Sports tires, on the other hand, have a more pointed contour, which considerably increases the handling.
