A2Difficulty 2/5

Can the position the rider adopts on the motorcycle influence fuel consumption?

Correct answer

Yes.

Yes. Rider posture can change frontal area and air resistance, which can affect fuel consumption at the same speed. There is no 80 kg threshold for this effect and no fixed saving is guaranteed. The posture must maintain good vision, balance and control operation: safety takes priority over seeking a more aerodynamic position.
