Bump steer

[Ariaan]

Anybody around here that can explain the suspension working?

 

As a driver of a standard 111R I try to understand the effects of bump steer. You probably know this article:

So how does this affect trail braking? Doesn’t this make trail braking counteractive?

 

Last week I was with LoT at Spa. It was wet in the morning, but dried up the afternoon. And then you notice the difference it makes in suspension movements. In the wet it was to tricky to get the suspension working, but in the dry the higher forces make the suspension move and I noticed a stabilizing effect in for instance the last corner of Les Combes, is that the bumpsteer working?

 

And final question: How does bumpsteer effect cornering with big elevation changes, like Eau Rouge? I did a 360 in the wet, so looking for excuses 😉
