Like they do with formula 1 cars, they make crazy reduction in weight below the minimum weight and then add weights at the bottom of the car to meet minimums.
The weights added tend to be lead or depleted uranium (not sure if they still use DU). They add the weights at the lowest part of the chassis to improve handling. I suppose you'll get the same results with bike. |

Do you remember the carbon fiber racing yacht debacle, millions were spend on new racing catamarans built solely out of carbon fiber and they all sunk? Hopefully they will do a little testing before extolling the virtues of this new product
Actually, a lot of testing. |

I understand how you bring the weight up to minimum
I actually just take the bike to a bigger rocky planet. |
