single cradle frame Explanation: Telaio a culla: (o monoculla) è sicuramente la struttura più semplice, ed è quello che in un certo senso ricorda ancora le strutture primordiali. Si tratta di una struttura in tubo di acciaio, che ingloba il motore circondandolo con un trave principale (che passa sopra al motore stesso) ed altri tubi di diametro inferiore che passano sotto al motore. Normalmente questa struttura si sdoppia all’altezza del tubo di scarico pertanto di usa parlare di monoculla sdoppiata. Usata soprattutto nelle moto da fuoristrada. Telaio a doppia culla. Altro non è che una evoluzione del telaio monoculla. Le culle (lo dice il nome stesso) raddoppiano, circondando il motore ai due lati, è una struttura tutt’oggi molto diffusa soprattutto nelle moto custom o nelle stradali più semplificate. È senz’altro un buon compromesso tra rigidità, resistenza e leggerezza, anche se con l’avvento delle strutture perimetrali ha ceduto il passo. http://www.aprilia.com/caferacing_dettaglio.asp?id=36culla Single cradle frame. The single cradle is the simplest type of motorcycle frame, and looks similar to the first ever motorcycle frames. It is made from steel tubes that surround the engine with a main tube above and other, smaller diameter tubes beneath. If a single cradle becomes double at the exhaust, as frequently occurs, it is referred to as a split single cradle frame. Single cradle frames are usually found in off-road motorcycles. Double cradle frame. Double cradle frames are descended from single cradle frames. They consist of two cradles that support the engine one either side. Double cradle frames are commonly used in custom motorcycles and simpler road bikes. They offer a good compromise between rigidity, strength and lightness, though they have now been technically surpassed by perimeter frames. Single Cradle Frame A motorcycle frame that has one down tube from the steering neck to the front of the engine. http://www.cyclepedia.com/page/2/?s=engine Might find some other terms here too |
