Traction Circle Plot
This plot shows actual data from our Racepak G2X data acquisition system, and is in the form of a heart rather than a circle. This is because the power of the motorcycle is not enough to meet the maximum available traction for acceleration. Food for thought: The small dip right at the top indicates that more acceleration is available at slight lean angles than when the bike is exactly vertical.
