A Hubless Wheel Motorcycle. The Future Is Near… Fall.

hubless-1

A hubless wheel motorcycle? Can technology advance even more? Why don’t they just make hover bikes already.

“Hubless wheels work by fixing the rotating parts (brake ring, bearings, hubless rim) onto the outer side of a non-rotating inner ring that attaches to the motorcycle’s swingarm or forks.


Advantages include decreased unsprung weight, reduced structural stress (no spokes to transmit forces through), increased braking leverage, more accurate steering, reduced vibration and a lower center of gravity.”
