Reverse Rotating Rotors, try saying that five times fast, go ahead try it, it's difficult isn't it. So what are Reverse Rotating Rotors? Well it is something that Mr. Rob Kasten has been working on that is very interesting and could be huge in the motorcycle racing arena. The basic idea is that you mechanically make the disc rotors on the front wheel of a motorcycle spin in the opposite direction. This counter acts what is know as gyroscopic presession. So you stabilze the motorcycle at almost any speed and make it as easy to turn at 180 mph as it is to turn at 20 mph. What I find complete fasintating about this project, is it all started because Mr. Kasten wanted to understand counter steer better.
