California’s Marine Advanced Robotics has made considerable progress on its remarkable Wave-Adaptive Modular Vessel (WAM-V) since we first saw these wild spider-boats 16 years ago on a list of urban legends. Legends and photoshops they were not – indee… Continue reading Spider-legged WAM-V suspension boats float over the waves
Back in 2016, we told you about a unique leaf-spring suspension fork for mountain bikes, known as the Motion. Its manufacturer has now applied the same basic technology to the simpler one-legged La City fork, which is made for commuter bikes.Continue R… Continue reading One-legged La City leaf-spring fork designed to smooth urban cycling
On most full-suspension mountain bikes, the rear shock sits between the swingarm and the main triangle, with eyelet connectors at either end. The Datum bike is different and supposedly better, though, in that its rear shock slides into the frame’s top … Continue reading Datum MTB boasts simpler, smoother and lighter rear suspension
Even though mountain bikers can manually adjust their bike’s suspension settings, most of them don’t constantly do so throughout each ride. That’s where the new RockShox Flight Attendant system comes in, as it automatically adjusts the front and rear s… Continue reading RockShox Flight Attendant tech auto-adjusts mountain bike suspension
There’s no motorcycle on the planet like this one. British company White Motorcycle Concepts (WMC) has put land speed record holders on notice with a 2WD, hydraulically hub-steered electric motorcycle, designed around a giant hole. The company says the… Continue reading “World’s fastest electric motorcycle” uses radical big hole technology
In automotive engineering, almost every design choice is a trade-off, like performance versus fuel economy, straight-line speed versus cornering, or strength versus weight. Inspired by controversial technology for the 2020 …read more Continue reading Active Suspension On A DIY Racing Car
Active suspensions are almost a holy grail for cars, adding so much performance gain that certain types have even been banned from Formula 1 racing. That doesn’t stop them from …read more Continue reading Remote Controlled Car Gets Active Suspension
There are already several suspension handlebar stems that incorporate a linkage, which allows the bars to move vertically relative to the steerer tube. The Hammerhead360 is different, though, in that the bars move relative to the stem itself.Continue R… Continue reading Hammerhead360 stem uses elastomer inserts to soften the ride
We’ve already seen a number of suspension handlebar stems that help absorb shocks by moving up and down. The Flexx handlebar is different, though, in that the two sides of the bar itself are what do the moving.Continue ReadingCategory: Bicycles, Transp… Continue reading Shock-absorbing Flexx handlebar features pivoting sides
While there are systems that advise mountain bikers on their suspension settings, such setups are typically added to the bicycle, temporarily. Mondraker’s new MIND system, however, is built right into the bike, permanently providing feedback.Continue R… Continue reading Mondraker mountain bikes to feature built-in suspension telemetry
