The fact that he always explains these with so much passion just makes me even more passionate about the tech of MotoGP, not just the racing.

The helmet technology is still lagging behind the bike technology but I know it mostly comes down to the helmet manufacterers for that.

I'm not sure what they can do to make my ShoeiX14 better but if they do its going to be big! We do a bunch of roll racing 9/10ths of mile and drag race 1/8-1/4mile. Anything over 180mph -220+mph (roll racing) and a regular helmet will try and rip hour head off if you pop up from behind the windshield not to mention issues with visors ripping up/off. I might be biased but the x14 is something I can say that does it all and cuts through the air better than anything else I've tried.

@rodfernandez4399 Жыл бұрын

Excellent, thank you for this. F1 has been doing this for a while, and they take their time to explain the tech, the reasoning behind them, even the specialists and what they do with that tech. I think MotoGP should take a leaf out of the F1 book and this Tech Talk is a great start. Simon is just a master at explaining these things and his "specialist ear" hearing the clutch slip on gear change - just awesome. Please keep them coming.

Amazing invention for the racing industries. I remember my early years on a GSXR 600 K5 without a slipper clutch, downshifting and keeping the clutch slightly engaged, even making a dent in the clutch handle so that i knew whenever i feel the dent, the clutch is slipping and giving comfort and accuracy on track. Racing back then was so tiring! Glad we have blipper systems these days.

TY as always, Simon! You da man!!! I don't think the clutches "slip" during upshifting as opposed to the lower of the gears continues on a bit through the engagement of the next gear to reduce the rpm/intertia drop caused by manually shifting. Didn't we learn that during one of the Tech Talks? May have been somewhere else. Anyway, Thank you Simon!!!
