Side downforce spoilers for Streetfighter V2 and other ' Nakeds '
Devised in the pits of the WorldSBK and MotoGP championships , the experience gained together with the Kawasaki Racing Team has allowed Spanish manufacturer Puig to develop new downforce spoilers with racing aesthetics and a downforce effect that will increase the downward vertical
Airoh - 2024 ' Strycker ' RACR • aerodynamic load at high speeds . " This effect will improve the stability of the motorcycle and reduce the risk of losing control over the front axle ," says Export Manager Carles Puig . " Thanks to testing in our virtual wind tunnel software ( which dealers and riders can use on our portal ), the floating of the front wheel has been minimised . " This load allows for greater tyre grip and contributes to the anti-shimmie and anti-wheelie effects that occur during aggressive acceleration . In addition , the design will improve cornering and handling in all conditions ." Designed and manufactured in Barcelona using the company ' s advanced and avant-garde technologies , " you will be able to equip your street naked with topend competition-bred innovations and features . In addition to providing an aggressive aesthetic , they can be personalised to match the motorcycle and rider ' s taste by selecting from the wide range of available colours .
" Our testing shows an additional load of 3.4 kg of downforce is generated at the front axle , which results in an improvement in the stability of the motorcycle , especially at high speeds , avoiding the dreaded shimmies . " Thanks to the air channels created by the side spoilers , more stability is gained in the front wheel , and greater stability in changes of direction - preventing the front wheel from rising during strong acceleration (' anti-wheelie effect '). " They have been manufactured to meet or exceed current safety regulations , with rounded edges and a radius of > 2 mm . Assembly is simple as they do not require drilling holes in the fairing for a fully reversible install ".
