AI Technical Summary
The steel tube structure of motorcycle frames is low in cost but has large welding deformation, which affects strength. On the other hand, aluminum alloy frames are expensive and lack flexibility. Furthermore, the flatness and contact area of the bearing mounting surface of traditional head tubes are difficult to guarantee, which leads to directional swaying problems when riding.
Cast steel components are installed at key stress points of the motorcycle frame, including cast steel components for the lower main tube, connecting tube, shock absorber bracket, and side bracket. Mounting holes are added to the cast steel components to reduce tube welding and drilling. High-strength steel is used, and the head tube is a seamless tube to ensure the flatness of the installation and the contact area.
It improves the overall strength and stability of the frame, enhances the connection firmness of the frame, increases the strength by about 30%, and meets the stability requirements of bearing installation.
