[moto] Adding New Devices on MotoGP Bikes Can Disturb the Concentration of Racers?

[luminox™-]

The pros and cons of Ducati's new device are still ongoing. With this device, the Desmosedici GP22 is now even more complex to drive. When the rider is on the bike, sometimes they still have to press the button to change the Mapping on the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). Then, Ducati also created the Holeshot Device, where the rider has to activate it manually to make the rear suspension go down.

 

The innovation developed into the Rear Ride Height Device. The device can be used in the middle of the race, precisely when cornering. Thus, the rear suspension drops when the bike exits the corner. This device is useful for reducing the risk of the motor doing a wheelie. Thus, traction is maintained and acceleration is also still maximal. Now, Ducati is also introducing the Front Ride Height Device. This device is for manually lowering the front suspension for the same purpose as the Rear Ride Height Device.

 

 

With so many devices that drivers have to use, many say that the risk of drivers losing concentration can also increase. One of them is Aleix Espargaro who prefers a few devices on his motorbike. According to him, attention is more focused on the device, not when racing. "I'm not going to say it's unsafe, but it certainly doesn't add to safety. Because you have to do a lot of things when accelerating," said Aleix, quoted from Speedweek.com, Monday (21/2/2022).

 

Aleix added, now Ducati is also adding a device to the front. If everyone has that device, then you need it too, because it changes traction, wheelie tendencies and aerodynamics." Friends at Noale explained to me that lowering the bike in a straight line can increase speed. So you need it to be competitive, but I don't like it," Aleix said. According to Aleix, Aprilia could make a device with a similar system. However, the Rear Ride Height Device was enough for Aleix."We have an automatic system that you can activate before the corner and a manual one. I prefer the manual system, which is activated during acceleration. But it's not easy, you accelerate fast when the bike is low, you have to control the inclination of the wheelie, push the buttons. , and doing a lot of things at the same time. It's difficult," said Aleix. General Manager of Ducati Gigi Dall'Igna is the brain behind the innovations made by Ducati so far. According to him, the devices on the Desmosedici so far have not interfered with the riders.
