A week ago, I saw a clip on Youtube with more than non-informative title - "New Chinese Motorcycle"



Google has found a manufacturer's (also more than non-informative) website - http://micantech.com/en/home.asp

A further search gave some results. A few photos and some information I found here: http://www.motorcycle.in.th/forum/vi...showtopic=2967 and http://www.motorfans.com.cn/bbs/t_17254666.htm

Somewhere I found this description:

FEATURE AND ADVANTAGES OF THE FRONT END SYSTEM

A rational structure.
1. The front wheel is joined to the chassis on 2 points.
2. On a conventional front fork motorcycle, the wheel is joined to the chassis by only 1 point.
3. The front wheel links is a deformable element.
4. The actions on the wheel is transmitted to the shock by the upper triangle and the lower triangle thru a linkage.
5. 3 points which are far enough from each other.
6. Better safety compared to a telescopic fork.
7. Trunk on the fuel tank.
8. Single/double seat adjustable.
9. European Quality.

Which advantages in comparison with a telescopic front fork?
1) A better distribution of stress to the frame.
2) A good rigour of guiding.
3) No change of wheelbase under braking or bumping. ( No shimmy).
4) Suspension and steering are totally independent.
5) The motorcycle can steer easily under hard braking and heavy weight.
6) On the fully adjustable model, you can easily change the rake, the trail, the wheelbase, the trim… etc,independantly and without any change of parts.
7) The double triangle rigidity allow the motorcycle to have an incredible braking power.
8) The braking distances are reduced of 50%.
