Latest patent images filed by BMW Motorrad reveal the German brand's next-generation frame that does away with a conventional swingarm pivot, and uses flexible carbon fibre instead. Latest patent images show that the swingarm will be integrated into the main chassis, getting rid of a swingarm pivot. The idea is that carbon fibre can be engineered to be rigid in one direction and flexible in another, so the design will allow the swingarm to bend to absorb bumps, but will not allow any lateral movement that may affect stability. A conventional spring and damper will still be used, allowing for suspension adjustability. Also Read: BMW Motorrad To Use Radar-Based Adaptive Cruise Control The design isn't completely new or radical, and has been used in race cars, which used the flexibility of carbon fibre in their suspension designs. Without pivots where the wishbone suspension is attached to the chassis, provides both strength and stiffness, but also reduces weight and improves a...
