by A New Approach to Motorcycle Control
Motorcycles have always been a symbol of speed and adrenaline, but their design limits the possibilities for maximum road grip in turns. South African inventor Kent James Sheelit has proposed a radical solution—the Kejashi system, which allows the front wheel to move independently from the motorcycle’s frame.
This technology reduces the motorcycle’s lean angle during turns, promoting more stable tire grip on the road. Furthermore, an active wing, mounted on the structure, automatically adjusts during steering, providing additional downforce.
Why Do Conventional Motorcycles Lose Efficiency in Turns?
Unlike cars, motorcycles have only two wheels, which limits their stability. Additionally, aerodynamic elements that could improve handling lose effectiveness when leaning. The Kejashi system solves these problems thanks to its unique front suspension design.
“Shifting weight to the inside of the turn is exactly what MotoGP riders do by leaning their bodies. But if the wheel shifts outward, it automatically transfers the weight of the motorcycle and rider inward, reducing the necessary lean angle,” explains Sheelit.
Technology Prospects
Besides improving handling, the new system allows for more efficient use of suspension and aerodynamic elements. The active wing remains in an optimal position even during sharp maneuvers, which could become a breakthrough in motorsport.
Currently, the inventor continues testing and refining the design. If the technology proves its effectiveness, it could significantly change motorcycle design standards in the future. The potential is there, but full implementation will require time and additional research.
