MotoGP™ Workshop: Swingarms explained

In MotoGP racing a powerful engine and grippy tyres are an absolute must and they are perfectly harnessed by the all essential swingarm. Here Giacomo Guidotti, Avintia Blusens Crew Chief to Hector Barbera and Antonio Jimenez, GO&FUN Honda Gresini Crew Chief to Alvaro Bautista, explain role the swingarm plays.

[@code3kc]

Didn't realize how big the swingarms are on these bikes or all the stuff that goes into it. Love these videos!

[@So_Sul]

Could you please make a subtitle for these workshop videos MotoGP. That will help non-native English speaker like me to understand these better in a much easier way.

[@sebpearce]

[@NunoxFerreira]

Mr Antonio Jimenez is spanish if i'am not wrong......and spanish people like many other in the world don`t listen english as much as needed. ex: movies are allways translated for spanish and that "kill" the training of the ear !!!

[@LeeePowers]

Stability. Almost like "natural anti wheelie" but some still wheelie.

THE .1 PERCENT BEING THAT HE CALLS IT A SWINGING OR SWIMMING ARM. MAYBE NOBODY HAS EVER TAUGHT HIM HOW TO SAY IT PROPERLY. THERE'S YOUR 100%

[@fredericksandalo8909]

swimming arm

[@NothingToYou]

Try describing something in a language that you wouldn't normally use. Shit can be hard.

[@cazperz]

seriously they knew while filming this he was saying it wrong and nobody said anything...

[@StarscreamWind]

swimming arm = that guy must be drunk or something

[@paolozampieri2691]

amir sili butch He might be drunk but he's explaining something from an engineering point of view that a petty grammar cop like you can barely understand, so I suggest you take a walk to the local pub to piss up againsthe wall with your buddies.

[@grege2383]

amir sili butch Its what most people referr to as a language barrier

[@arealassassin]

Just disable the comments, these keyboard warriors aren't interested in the content, merely being trolls.

[@nickpa8871]
