Motorcycle Frames: A primer

[sau007007]

Very informative article. @All, Does the Pulsar 150's frame differs from P200/P220? They almost look same. And whether the chassis got anything to do with stability or control under hard braking?
Please throw some lights on this.

Hello,
I think that chassis Pulsars are different. Not sure.

The wheelbase of Pulsars-
P150 -1320mm
P180 -1345mm
P220S -1350mm
P220F -1350mm
fz -1335mm

For braking comparison,the panic braking depend on length of front forks, width of front tyre, mass centralization, diameter of front disc brakes, and etc.

Width of front tyre- (fz)100, (all Pulsars) 90mm
mass central.-fz scores here
diameter of front discs- (fz)267mm, (P150)240mm, (P180,P220) 260mm

So handling of Fz is better than Pulsars.

Hope you got it now.

I guess the wheel base of P180 and P220 are exactly same. They share the same swing arm.
The disc brakes of the pulsar are the best ones , its got very good bite. And not just fz , R15 , rtr both has more or less same size tyres with lesser diameter forks but still they work out better in this area. As said by someone it could be the design flaw in pulsar's chasis and the weight distribution.
Thanks for sharing :-)

P180 has got 5mm less wheelbase than P220
Check it.

For P180-
Bajaj Pulsar 180 DTS-i | Pulsar 180 Price | Bajaj Pulsar 180cc | Bikes in India

For P220F-
Bajaj

And for design flaw, it can be there..
