A2Difficulty 3/5

At the same speed and in the same conditions, a motorcycle riding posture reduces frontal area and air resistance without limiting vision or control. What effect can this have on fuel consumption?

Correct answer

It can reduce fuel consumption.

It can reduce consumption by lowering the aerodynamic resistance the engine must overcome. It is not a fixed saving and does not justify a posture that prevents seeing, operating the controls or maintaining control. Adapt your posture to the motorcycle and riding conditions; improved aerodynamics does not mean increasing speed or leaning excessively in bends.
