Riding a Kawasaki H2 to chase the high-speed rail, the school beauty was moved to tears

In addition to the softness and hardness of the shock absorber, there are two other points that need to be adjusted, namely sinking damping and rebound damping.

Shock absorption is not only divided into soft and hard. Soft and hard are just things that ordinary car fans know and understand.

The shock absorption is adjustable in three levels, which refers to the softness, hardness, sinking, and rebound of the shock absorption.

With the same heavy braking force, if the front brake shock absorber stroke is compressed by two-thirds, it is called soft, and if it is only compressed by one-third, it is called hard. This is the simplest way to distinguish between soft and hard, and it depends intuitively on the driver's own feelings.

Both of them bottom out, but one requires more force to bottom out, while the other only requires less force, and the latter is obviously softer.

The sinking damping refers to the speed at which the shock absorber sinks when the driver squeezes the front brake, whether it compresses quickly or slowly.

Commonly known as the speed at which the shock absorber sinks.

Rebound damping is similar to how fast or slow the shock absorber rebounds to its original shape when the rider releases the brakes. This is called rebound damping.

John adjusted the compression damping of Qinchuan and adjusted the softness and hardness of the front brake.

According to Qin Chuan's request, the shock absorbers were adjusted to be softer.

That is, the front brake is more likely to bottom out.

To be honest, John was very troubled by this kind of training, but Qin Chuan asked him to do it.

As for the rebound and dive damping adjustments, aside from simple fine-tuning, the dive damping becomes stiffer, making the shock sink slower.

The slower sinking damping means that the front shock absorber will sink slowly during heavy braking, so that the vibration of the vehicle body will be reduced to the minimum as much as possible.

Sinking too quickly can easily cause bumps and lead to loss of control of the car body.

As for the rebound, this time the rebound adjustment is faster. The rebound adjustment is for handling in corners. It affects the grip in corners, not braking.

The operating principle of entering a corner with brakes is to apply heavy force first, and then gradually reduce the braking force as you enter the corner.

When reducing the braking force, the shock absorber will gradually rebound as the force decreases. At this time, the car is tilted and the driver is hanging sideways. At this time, the shock absorber rebounds quickly, so it will be easier for the tire to hold up to the ground in the corner.

Release the brake a little, and the shock absorber will pop out a little. The faster it pops out, the more it can take over the gap left by releasing the brake force, and hold up the tire to make it grip the ground.

If the rebound is slow, the front wheel will lack support in the corners and will easily lose contact with the ground, resulting in a low race.

And the slow rebound is not very friendly for turning over.

Two minutes later, the car was adjusted. John came to the front of the car, pressed the front wheel, and observed the rebound and compression of the shock absorber with his eyes.

Both speeds are fine, but the suspension is softer, and John clearly feels that he can bottom out the suspension with less force.

John and Stoner, who were standing by, couldn't help but sweat when they saw this scene and felt a little worried for Qin Chuan.

The front brake is easier to bottom out, which is Qin Chuan's favorite braking method.

This is different from all of them. They like to use only 9-tenths of the brake and shock absorber travel at most, leaving 1-tenth to ensure that it does not bottom out.

This means that even if you encounter sudden vibration when braking hard to the limit, the remaining one-tenth of the shock absorber travel can still filter out this vibration and ensure the stability of the car.

Commonly known as keeping something in hand.

Obviously I can brake hard to bottom out, but I choose to prevent it from completely bottoming out a little bit, leaving that little bit to prevent emergencies.

Qin Chuan's doing this meant that he did not leave any room and used it up directly.

There is another driver in the paddock who is like him, and that is Peco, who also uses the same braking method.
