Our hearts race when we come across speedy bikes. With new technological innovation and refinements in powertrain technology, metallurgy, and chassis engineering, we are seeing an evolution in bike models that are becoming ultra-high when it comes to speed and delivery. While we scout for the fastest bikes in India and the world, we need to look a bit into what makes a bike fast when it comes to its speed. One factor is smoother tracts and surfaces that facilitate ease in friction and give more speed. One major parameter is the power that is the engine of the bike. The more powerful the engine is, the more the faster it would be. The weight of bike is also a key determinant to ascertain its speed. Hence the power-to-weight ratio is mapped to find the fastest bike. Coming to aerodynamics, those designs that have low drag coefficients usually facilitate faster speed as the bike would face less resistance in terms of friction build-up. Another factor is gearing especially the sixth gear which is also key in deciding the speed of the bike. So next time you opt to buy the speediest of such racy vehicles, look into these factors and nuances before making a decision. Here we have charted out some of the latest fastest bikes and their key features.
