Not only dressing up effects! There is also a Downforce effect!

It is a winglet that became a hot topic in what was used in MotoGP in 2016. It is aerodynamic parts that other manufacturers and teams have also produced and put into practice, as a pioneer of Ducati Works.

The main reason for this was to get the "Downforce" using air. The effect of Downforce uses the air received during riding well, and it has the effect of "preventing the front-up during acceleration" and "increasing the grip force by pressing the front tire at the time of braking", by pressing the vehicle's body downwards.

This is almost the same role as the spoiler (Wing) mounted to a 4-wheel race vehicle. (But, it is important for corner speed in the case of 4-wheels.)

The effect is recognized "Spoiler" to the vehicle, not only for 4-wheel racing, but also for 2-wheel racing.
This time, it is the year introduction of downforce spoiler of Puig.

The Puig deals with "Downforce Spoiler" and Puig puts a place of product development on "Road Race"

Puig for many years, as well as aerodynamic analysis by 3D simulator and dedicated cfd engineer in production, a maker who fights against invisible enemies, "Air Resistance". We give feedback to the various products such as windscreen, engine spoiler (under the cowl) and fender, from the most advanced race such as MotoGP and Super Motorbike World Championship (SBK).

It is a "Downforce Spoiler" handled by parts manufacturers fighting such air resistance, and not just only looks but performance has also been pursuing the parts.

*Superbike World Championship (SBK)
It is a race that will be held on a remodeled vehicle based on a commercial vehicle rather than a vehicle specialized in racing like MotoGP. There are many people who say "SBK School than MotoGP!", because it is a racing vehicle that maintained the form of a commercial vehicle that we normally see.

Each machine has participated, such of Honda (CBR1000RR), Kawasaki (ZX-10R), Ducati (1199 Panigale R), Aprilia (RSV4), BMW (S1000RR), MV Agusta (F4), and Yamaha (YZF-R1).

Does it make the ZX-10R much cooler?

This spoiler has been developed jointly with Kawasaki Racing Team fighting the Superbike World Championship (SBK).

What kind of results did Kawasaki care about here at SBK ... ...

SBK Won 4-times Championship from 2010 to 2017!

It is exactly a musical state from 2015. Although, the 2018 season still carries various handicaps in terms of race regulations. It is a blasting top rave reviews. On a commercial vehicle base, the ZX-10R is becoming an invincible now.

There is an image that is making a face and a form with a very strong presence and very intimidating, such a motorcycle called ZX-10R in the image of racing lovers. It is an image of "Fighting Motorcycle" exactly.

The Downforce Spoiler is also an item that will make that form more aggressive and change it to a style with "Motivation"!

It is approximately 2kg Downforce at 200km/h, and approximately 5kg Downforce at 300km/h!

The Puig is a Downforce Spoiler that was made.

It repeats the actual riding of mounting position, spoiler area, overall length, and shape, not only develops with the simulator, and it was formed based on that data. It is a circuit of the developmental course as well.

As a result, it succeeded in obtaining 2kg Downforce in the downward direction at a speed of 200km/h. It succeeded in generating approximately 5kg Downforce at 300km/h, as the speed further increases its effect is great! It seems that the "front-up prevention" which said at the beginning, "pushing the front tire at breaking" effect is demonstrated.

It is not just a dress up effect, it is a part that has a meaning to mount!

*Please feel the effect on a closed course, such as a circuit, because it is a general public road and 200km/h is completely out in Japan. (It is recommended to run the Fuji Speedway's home straight at 300km/h.)
