What is torque and BHP in bike?

BHP(Brake Horse Power) is the common rating that we consider while measuring the power of a bike. Technically it is the maximum power produced before it is delivered to the drive train. Torque is the turning effect produced by the engine. Peak Torque is available in lower RPM’s.

Is 500 Nm of torque good?

It’s worth noting that engines producing much more than 400 Nm (295 lb/ft) of torque, whether petrol or diesel, are usually at their best teamed with an automatic gearbox. Beyond 500 Nm (369 lb/ft), most engines come with an automatic gearbox anyway since they’re better able to cope with an engine that strong.

Which RPM is good for bike?

In case you have a bike which produces its peak power and torque between 7000 and 8000 RPM, then the comfort zone for the bike lies between 4000-6000 RPM in case of cruising on the highway or else 3000-5000 RPM in the city limits.

What is the difference between torque and BHP in a car?

BHP (Brake Horsepower) is a measure of the power at the shaft of the engine. It represents how much power is available at the engine after all the other resistant forces are overcome. According to physics, torque is nothing but force multiplied by the perpendicular distance. It is the amount of turning power that is developed.

What is the difference between cc and BHP?

CC is related with torque directly. Higher CC means more torque. And faster the engine revs, more BHP is rated for it. Since diesel engines have lower RPM, their BHP rating is low, yet because of high CC, their torque is usually higher.

What is brake horse power (BHP)?

The Brake Horse Power is the unit of power of an engine without any losses like heat and noise. The BHP determines the acceleration and top speed of a vehicle. Often fast and quick vehicles will focus more on the BHP than the torque.

Can you increase the bhp of a car without changing the CC?

You cannot!! BHP (brake horse power) is the total power available on the tyre. Whereas CC is the total displacement of the pistons in the engine. In a given vehicle without changing anything (even total weight) if you increase the CC, then the BHP also increases.
