What does the term cc in bikes actually mean?please give a detailed explantion?

Answer 1

the good doctor is correct, and it refers to the total maximum volume of all the cylinders

Answer 2

CC's stands for Cubic Capacity or Cubic Centimetres

Its a measure of engine displacement.... 1000 cc = 1 litre
Displacement measures how many cubic centimetres of the air/fuel mixture moves through one rotation of an engine cycle (each piston moving from top to bottom). For example, if one rotation of the pistons moves 250 cc of the fuel/air mixture through the system, then you have a 250 cc engine.

So a bike that has more cubic centimeters has a bigger engine, will produce more power, and will go faster.

Answer 3

It stands for cubic centimeters, and it is the total displacement of the combustion chambers in the engine. If there is a cylinder that holds 200cc of volume when the piston is at BDC (bottom dead center), and you have a four cylinder bike, then the engine is an 800cc.

Any more detail than that and I'm afraild I'd have to explain every aspect of how an engine works, and I'm not feeling that saucy today.

Answer 4

The term CC stands for cubic centimetres.It is the measure of displacement for an engine. The engine displacement is the volume of the cylinder that the piston travels in the cylinder.The bore of the engine plus the length of stroke of the piston times the number of cylinders gives the total displacement for the engine That volume is the displacement measured in cc's the European measure for displacement. North American cars use the term cubic inches. 1000 cc is a 1 Litre engine

Answer 5

The volume the engine's cylinders displace is rated in cc's (cubic centimeters) in small engines. In larger engines, the displacement is measured in liters, (e.g. a 2.4 liter engine or 2400 cc) or cubic inches, eg. a 409 cubic inch V-8. The amount of power the engine is capable of making is roughly proportional to the engine's displacement. A 350 cc engine would produce more power than a 250 cc engine.

By the way, there are 16.4 cc's in a cubic inch.

Answer 6

Cubic centimeters. As in, 1/1000th of a litre. It is the area inside the engine where gas and air are combusting. The more CC's, the more potential power generated.

Answer 7

The displacement of the engine in cubic centimeters.

figure about 6.2cc=1 cubic inch for a practical conversion.

Answer 8

it refers to the size of the engine. You must be famiiar with automobile engines (3.4L V6) terminology. In bikes the cc means cubic centimeters (which are equivolent to mL's). So a 500cc engine could also be called a 1/2L engine.

Answer 9

One very slight correction to all the excellent answers. It is the SWEPT volume of the cylinder, i.e. the volume difference between top dead centre and bottom dead centre

Answer 10

cubic centimeters
