contact patch in any of several
scenarios, such as inline accel-
eration, corner lean, or braking.
These forces can be multiplied
three-fold to the steering head-
stock, before traveling down
to the center of gravity of the
machine. A hub-center system
like ours can overcome most of
these vibrational frequencies by
separating steering from suspen-
sion and braking, and by placing
the steered kingpin in the center
of the front wheel."
"However, there are still
substantial loads placed on
these kingpins at the center of
the wheel hub," continues Ray.
"These create oscillation har-
monics due to the commonplace
600mm diameter of the front
wheel fitted with a tire that sur-
rounds it. This is where our TS3
technology comes into its own,

It's still too
early to tell but
its certainly
heading in that
direction.
Here is the preliminary design of the TS3.
