The flexible concept motorcycle BMW Motorrad VISION NEXT 100 Bashny.Net

Forty one million thirty three thousand eight hundred fifty four



Automotive designers periodically delight us with fantastic concepts. What is rarely translated into reality. But they give to understand the direction in which technical know how may be the transport of the future.

For example, the new BMW Motorrad concept VISION of the NEXT 100 shows how the company sees BMW motorcycles in the next hundred years. Flexible frame turns with the wheel. Nagolovnym visor display. And surbitonpete, which allows you to ride even without a helmet.

The concept developed in the framework of the celebration of the centennial anniversary of the company under the slogan "The Next 100 Years", that is "the Next 100 years."

The most unusual thing about this bike flexible frame Flexframe, which twists and turns along with the steering. How it is implemented technically — difficult even to imagine. Is simply taken as a given that the technology that BMW promises to reinvent in the future.

Thanks to this fantastic technical solution, the designers managed to get rid of various of hinges, bearings and other components in the design. They are here to do. Just a one-piece flexible frame.

The black triangle frame is combined with white color of the engine. The designers themselves call the frame of this form of "functional sculpture". No joints are seen, the frame looks like a solid cast.



The surface of the frame is covered with fabric, matte dark color.

Of course, in the "motorcycle of the future" installed the motor and batteries. However, the appearance of the motor resembles a boxer internal combustion engines, which for a hundred years is set on the motorcycles. The outer plate on the engine move only during the movement for improved aerodynamics and protection of the rider. When Parking they move to a more compact form.





Despite the futuristic concept, the designers have tried to keep continuity of generations. According to the designers, this motorcycle will immediately recognize him as the model of the BMW.



The proportions between the key machine components correspond to the proportions in the BMW R32 — the first motorcycle, which went under the name of BMW. It happened in 1923.

In those days the firm BMW was hard. Founded in 1916, the company is successfully engaged in the manufacture of aircraft engines during the First world war. But by the Treaty of Versailles defeated Germany banned the production of aircraft engines. Military contractor BMW had to look for ways to diversify. In what area can apply engineering engine? Of course, civilian cars and motorcycles. So there was a car brand BMW, which is known to all.

Actually, BMW is not planning production of motorcycles, but at the request of the Victoria Werke AG in 1919, has developed a two-stroke internal combustion engine, M2B15. Since it began motorcycle history BMW, who in 1923 gave rise to his first motorcycle, the R32. He did a more advanced version of the engine — M2B33 the possibility of an 8.5 HP (6300 kW).

Motorcycle BMW Motorrad 21st century VISION of the NEXT 100, of course, will be much more powerful than its 100-year-old "grandfather". Although the concepts are no technical specifications are not announced, but even in the published photographs show that the girl is flying faster than the speed of the wind.



The ergonomics of the BMW Motorrad VISION NEXT 100 carefully calculated for the convenience of the rider, and to protect his body from the oncoming air flow. Although from the point of view of aerodynamics, the concept still has room to improve — it is evident that the body of the pilot is vulnerable and almost from the belt rises above the wind shield. A wind deflector is made quite low. Overall, the design concept is made in a minimalist style.



Seat, the upper surface of the frame and fenders of a motorcycle made from carbon. In the future, this lightweight and durable material is sure to be widely used in the automotive industry. Every kilogram of weight saved gives a boost to speed, acceleration and saves battery power.

Futuristic look of the bike is complemented by another fantastic technology to modify the tread pattern of the tires. It is expected that it will actively change depending on the type of pavement and speed.



In the end, the icing on the cake. The last part of futuristic concept bike of the future is "digital companion" (Digital Companion), intelligent driver assistance system, which, if necessary, displays messages on the display nagolovnogo visor. The visor is a transparent glasses which extended to the entire field of view of the rider. They are four areas to display the data. Glasses track the direction of gaze of the driver: look up or down is the command to change the information. For example, the look-up displays the picture from rear view camera and shows what happens behind the vehicle. A glance downward displays a menu with commands. Even more distant view down: displays the area map with the selected route. Navigator sends commands to the pilot of the vibrations through the clothes on the hands and feet.

Look straight ahead completely removes any context information from the display.





The package motorcycle will suit depending on the weather conditions warms or cools the body (the sensors measure temperature and pulse).





At high speed the fabric around the neck is filled with air for comfort.



As optimistic I think BMW's designers in connection with the presence of intelligent security equipment suit, protective elements, as well as a helmet, are unwanted.
