Watching Valentino Rossi duel with Casey Stoner in the circuit would be mengasikan and thrilling spectacle. How not to ride the motorcycle on the rider in the MotoGP can go up to 347 km / hour!
With that much speed on the MotoGP bike would certainly require a reliable technology for safety of drivers and the ability of the motor itself. Starting as a producer of power from the engine, chassis, and tires as an energy supplier mebuat motor can go at high speed, and also helem and safety clothing worn is very exciting for the racers in the know.
Motogp motorcycles made from high quality materials and such exorbitant prices, titanium, carbon fiber strengthened.
Also in MotoGP motorcycle armed with sophisticated electronic devices including telemetry, engine management systems, traction control, carbon disk brakes, and engine technologies are adopted from the modern F1 car engine technology.
MotoGP machine used is a type of four steps (4 stroke), may consist of two to six cylindrical cylindrical and has a minimum weight for each of the cylinders.
Two cylindrical down minimum weight 133 kg
3 cylindrical 140.5 kg
4 selinder148 kg
5 cylindrical 155.5 kg
6 cylindrical or more by weight of at least 163 kg
With a top speed can reach 347 km / h, the brake is a weapon that is in need by the rider in MotoGP. With a powerful brake plus the skill, the drivers can make overtaking on the bend.
Brakes on MotoGP motorcycles must meet the lightweight, strong and heat resistant. The material used is usually carbon fiber or steel for the disks. In comparison to the same diameter carbon discs weighing 750 grams to 800 grams, while the steel 1200 grams to 1600 grams.
In addition to materials, design is very comprehensive MotoGP brakes because it will affect the stability during braking, brake in addition to each team in the ration of 6 to 8 per season and made by two manufacturers Brembo and Nissin.

Ban is one vital part of the motor. Tire load-bearing function both during acceleration and braking, vibration damping, subtle when mengelinding, good traction and of course durability.
MotoGP tire there are two kinds of wet tires for the track was wet and slick tires to the track dry. For once the race tire is able to survive for a distance of 120 km.
For dry track tire MotoGP ulirnya have smooth, asphalt surface contacts to the maximum so membberikan maximum traction.
Screw on the tires serves to improve traction (rubber to absorb energy when deformed).
To make the tires used various materials such as pigments, chemicals, approximately 30 different types of rubber, threads, wire and so on. The process then begins by mixing the ingredients with a rubber process oil, carbon black, pigments, anti-oxidants, accelerators, and various other additives. Each of these materials specific properties to the mixture menambahkan this.
Helm MotoGP racer
When driving at speeds up to 340 km / h MotoGP rider would need extra protection, ranging from clothes to helem as protective headgear.
Helem for MotoGP racers must be lightweight, impact resistant, comfortable, and aerodynamic so as not to affect the drivers when driving fast.
Helem consists of four main components namely, the protective outer, inner, front glass and reinforcement mechanisms.
Helem material made of fiber glass, carbon, and Kevlar and polyurethane mixture that serves to menenyerap energy during an impact.
Helem glass in addition serves to protect the eyes from dust or particles racers. In addition helem glass also designed to minimize the influence of fog or rain at the racer vision.
Helem ventilation system is also designed such that in the helem feel dry and comfortable when in use.
