What are the motorcycle frame design?

If the engine is the heart of the motorcycle, and the motorcycle frame is the skeleton of the motorcycle, as the frame of the motorcycle not only bears the speed and passion of the rider, but also provides a fixed position for the engine and the rear shock absorber.
So, what kind of frame is suitable for us? Let's find out.
Like the name of the cradle, the single steel tube triangular hard tail cradle frame allows the engine to "lie" in the arms of the frame.
If a steel beam is used to connect the engine support part, it is a single cradle; if two steel beams are used to strengthen the engine bracket, it is a double cradle.
There is also a special kind of semi-double bassinet, which is between the double cradle frame and the single cradle frame. The upper part is a single pipe beam, the lower part is a single pipe column, and the bottom part is a double pipe beam.
Single cradle is a relatively old frame type. At present, few new models use this frame, but old-fashioned European and American motorcycles have always adhered to this frame. The advantage can only be said that the manufacturing is particularly simple. The disadvantage is that the frame is not rigid and comfortable (because the rear wheel rocker arm does not have a shock absorber system), so this frame is only suitable for low-speed driving.
This kind of frame is better understood. The double steel pipes extend from the front of the car to the rear of the car. At the four corners surrounding the left and right engines, this kind of frame makes up for the deficiency of the single-tube cradle frame, improves the overall strength without increasing the production cost.
However, the weight is heavy, the engine is cumbersome to install, and there are many connection points between the frame and the engine, which are prone to the so-called resonance zone.
The emergence of the wing beam frame makes the motorcycle's handling performance higher. Because of the use of lighter materials, the inertial force of the car body is reduced, and it can provide better response to rapid or high-speed steering and rapid changes in speed.
As an important part of motorcycle frame, manufacturers will choose different types of frame according to the performance of different models and the needs of the audience. In addition to affecting the performance and form of the vehicle, they also determine the cost and price of the vehicle.
