Custom Street Vyrus 986 M2

Vyrus 986 M2,Since its debut, the Vyrus 986 M2 has undergone some changes, most notably the hub-center steering design now has a direct steering column to the rider, likely the help increase the steering feedback. While hub-center steering benefits from separating the steering, braking, and suspension forces from each other, in practical application the design has had an uphill battle winning over riders who have grown accustomed to how a conventional fork front-end operates.


With established riders literally growing up on modern fork suspension technology, companies like Vyrus have to contend with riders having to re-learn how to race a motorcycle (an issue similar to the one in MotoGP, where riders have to relearn how to ride using carbon fiber brakes and the unique Bridgestone spec-tires). From an engineering perspective, the mechanical setup of most hub-center steering systems also adds to the problem, with multiple linkages usually involved in transmitting the rider’s inputs at the handlebars to the front wheel.


With this revised front-end design on the Vyrus 986 M2, the Rimini-based company looks to be using a steering column that directly applies the force from the handlebars to the front wheel, while the hub-center swing arm sill does work from a suspension and braking point-of-view. Perhaps not as visually stunning as the original release, it should function much better on the street and especially on the track.
