BMW is pushing the boundaries of motorcycle aerodynamics with a newly patented exhaust-assisted cornering system. The innovation uses an active exhaust system to enhance stability and agility when leaning into corners.
The patent sketch reveals a rotatable exhaust distribution device inside the bike’s bellypan. This system can channel exhaust gases to the left or right side, creating thrust that pushes the bike further into the turn. A third bypass outlet deactivates the system on straights.
This patent signals a renewed commitment to high-performance motorcycle innovation. Whether for racing or future road-going superbikes, BMW’s exhaust-assisted aero tech could redefine motorcycle dynamics.
