Article: Staying connected to the ground

Permanecer pegada al suelo

Staying connected to the ground

"Our wheel's mission is a singular one: to remain connected to the ground".

There should be no unsprung mass traveling through the air.

We have the ground, we have the rubber, we have the contact patch and the tire footprint.

What happens when the wheel detaches?

The wheel begins to behave like a ballistic component, above all, there is a total loss of traction: the wheel is no longer in contact with the ground and continues to store kinetic energy through its rotation.

What we must control is not the entirety of the system — swingarm, wheel, and so on — but precisely that amount of change of state.

“This matters because the moment the wheel detaches and begins to skid, the state of the system changes completely.”

El precio del rebote: lo que te cuesta en dinero, en seguridad y en tu propio cuerpo

The price of the rebound: what it costs you in money, in safety, and in your own body

Rear-wheel bounce comes with three invisible costs: wear and tear on tires, drivetrain, and suspension; loss of traction, braking, and stability; and the physical fatigue the vibration leaves in yo...

Por qué la naturaleza resolvió esto antes que la ingeniería

Why did nature solve this before engineering

The peregrine falcon applies aerodynamics it never studied. We explain why physics works whether we understand it or not, and how changing the point of observation solved the tire bounce.

Resonancia: la fuerza que derriba puentes y la que te mantiene pegado al suelo

Resonance: the force that collapses bridges and the one that keeps you glued to the ground

Resonance destroyed the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in 1940. The same physical principle, in anti-phase, is what keeps your tire glued to the road. Here is how.

La energía no se crea ni se destruye. Por eso tu rebote tiene que ir a algún sitio.

Energy is neither created nor destroyed. That's why your rebound has to go somewhere.

The first law of thermodynamics explains why your tire's bounce doesn't just disappear. We explain how the Gravitational Resonator redirects it toward grip instead of letting it turn into damage.

El coeficiente de fricción no es una constante: es una negociación entre goma y suelo

The coefficient of friction is not a constant: it's a negotiation between rubber and road

Grip is not a fixed number: it depends on the force pressing the rubber against the ground, and rebound makes it fluctuate. We explain why stabilizing that force is what maintains real grip.

El giroscopio invisible: por qué tu moto se mantiene en pie sola (y qué la desestabiliza)

The invisible gyroscope: why your motorcycle stays upright on its own (and what makes it unstable)

A spinning wheel is a gyroscope that keeps your bike stable, but only while it’s on the ground. We explain how tire bounce interrupts that effect, and how the Resonator keeps it anchored.
