The Anti-Squat: The Key to Acceleration Performance

Introduction to Anti-Squat

In the demanding world of motorcycle performance, anti-squat represents a fundamental element that is often overlooked by riders. As the 2024 CSBK Champion Team, we have developed a deep understanding of this complex phenomenon through our racing successes and our expertise in motorcycle preparation.

The Science Behind Anti-Squat

Anti-squat is a sophisticated geometric concept that directly influences the behavior of your motorcycle under acceleration. This characteristic determines how your motorcycle reacts to acceleration forces, affecting not only pure performance, but also riding comfort and stability. This phenomenon is directly related to the geometry of the swingarm, the position of the chain as well as the weight transfer linked to the placement of the center of gravity. An anti-squat percentage of 100% theoretically means that the acceleration forces are perfectly compensated.

The Phenomenon in Action

When accelerating, several forces come into play on your motorcycle. The power transmitted to the rear wheel naturally creates a torque that tends to compress the rear suspension - this is called "squat". The anti-squat effect counteracts this compression, allowing you to maintain optimal geometry and maximum traction.

Our MotoSpec Expertise

Our MotoSpec service uses state-of-the-art equipment to analyze and optimize the anti-squat effect of your motorcycle. In our Saint-Eustache workshop, our expert technicians can precisely measure and adjust all the parameters that influence the anti-squat:

The geometry of the swingarm, the position of the sprockets, the suspension settings, everything is meticulously calibrated to obtain the optimal behavior adapted to your riding style. This expertise, refined on our CSBK competition motorcycles, is now at your disposal.

Impact on Performance

Optimal anti-squat adjustment results in significant performance improvements. Our customers report improved stability during acceleration, increased traction when exiting corners, and increased confidence in their machine. These improvements are particularly noticeable on the track, where every fraction of a second counts.
