There is a lot of misunderstandings of what ABS is and what it does and more importantly, what it doesn't do. Let us discuss it with a listing of what I think are 3 facts and myths surrounding ABS and why it could save your life someday . ABS is Anti Brake-Locking System As the name implies, it prevents brake locks - the heart-stopping panicking moments of wheel locking up if we apply brake too suddenly. Brakes? Kinda are more important than the engine themselves. This can cause awesome skids which could be attractive if you are a stunt rider and are stunnting. Whereas, if you are trying to stop because you are riding head-on onto oncoming traffic; I have no clue why you would be; but that wouldn't spell good for you, so stopping the biking when you want it to stop is critical for riding. ABS is any system that prevents the wheel lock, by releasing the pressure on the brake disc, if it senses a wheel lock. This is done using motion sensors, which in turn...

Life of an Offroading Enthusiast - Kolli Travelogue's Teaser

By

Good Day Viewers!

What a wonderful day to start planning a trip ;) That is what we thought when we started to plan our Kolli Trip! :D
After postponing twice, we decided to hit it come what may! And a complete travelogue of the trip is underway.

For now, enjoy a short clip to give you an idea of what to expect ;)



The ride was one of the most interesting ride, as there were 10 riders in total who converged from three different cities! The first hurdle was coordination as we have a special rider who is known to getting lost :P

And when I mean getting lost, I mean taking a wrong turn in the very first turn in the route planned :D! It was an epic moment coordinating with everyone, but all my mates are folks who I have ridden with before and therefore it was as expected.

The unexpected was that Kolli is a land of Hairpin Bends, and it lives upto its name! 

72 in total, I believe and we soon last count of it how many we rode through. These were interesting and a lot of fun did happen ;) which you can expect to see in the upcoming video.

So stay tuned for an update very soon, and do not forget to share the content ;)

What is Compression Ratio...? and how is it related to High Octane Gas...?

By
The internet has a lot of information regarding what Compresssion Ratio means for engines. But there are very few articles that mean much to motorcycle engines and about how the CR influences the characteristic of a motorcycle. In theoretical terms, the compression ratio is the ratio of volume between the top-dead-center and bottom-dead-center.. Here are the CR for some common Indian Motorcycles: Model Wet Weight in KG Compresion Ratio KTM D390 163 12.8:1 R15 136 10.4:1 CBR 250 164 10.7:1 RE Classic 350 187 8.5:1 Avenger Cruise 155 9.5:1 What this number actually signifies is how much the air-fuel mixture gets compressed to before being ignited . That is, how much pressure would the combustion produce inside the engine. To Simplify:     More the CR, more the internal combustion pressure     More the CR, more the heat produced during combustion  ...

Ergo, Rise

By
I fondly remember the first time I saw a motorcycle, the first time the memory of a machine on two wheels got etched into my mind. It was a moped and I was 2 years old, ergo, it seemed like a big machine that is capable of pulling an entire family. Utterly ignorant of its complexity, what stuck in my mind was that it was a useful addition. Fast-forwarding by several years, I remember being dropped at the school by my uncle or being taken out for ice cream. We as a family, never had a motorized vehicle as dad doesn't drive or ride so motorcycling became missing for the majority of my life. However, around high school, dad gifted me my first bicycle and with that, the range of my 'territory' increased! I remember the first time I crossed the Adyar bridge and went to Mylapore to have coffee without telling my parents. A mere distance of 5 kilometres which was previously unreachable became reachable with just a bit of courage and planning. Did your crush live a few kilometres a...

How to Increase Engine Power - Keeping CC Constant

By
E asy Question to ask with the answer being- by burning more fuel. But the complication comes into picture when you compare two different engines of the same CC, can we infinitely throw in more fuel to extract more power? Let us take two different engines of the same manufacturer and compare them to answer the question. So how one produces 30% more power while being the same CC with only 500 rises in RPM? Let us look at another figure: Now, this is only 17% rise in torque curves with 1500 rise in RPM. So how does engine produce power? The air-fuel mixture is thrown into the cylinder and ignited. This combustion creates expansive pressure that pushes piston which turns the camshaft. Longer the stroke of the piston - more torque generated Shorter the stroke, More frequent the stroke becomes (higher RPM) - more power. So to increase the power output of an engine, it is important to increase the RPM at which the engine runs. How...
