What does the engine capacity of a bike(i.e. it's c.c.) determine?

Question

I mean does the speed of a bike determined by it's engine capacity?
For e.g., will a Pulsar have more speed than a 100 c.c. Bike?
What are the other things that depends on a bikes engine capacity?
Please will someone clarify?
Thanks

Arey bhai I know what a c.c. means...See the question i asked to u people before answering...i don't want to know what a c.c. is...oh my God!!!

Answer 1

There are so many different factors that determine a bike's speed besides just displacement. Weight, engine type, gearing, efficiency of air intake, efficiency of exhaust, combustion chamber shape, valve configuration, timing, etc.

A 600cc inline four like a Gixxer 600 is going to blow a 600cc thumper like an XR600 out of the water.... a 250cc two stroke GP type race bike is going to blow a regular Gixxer 600 out of the water. A brand new 1000cc inline four like an R1 is going to blow a brand new 1000cc V-twin like an RC-51 out of the water... but the brand new RC-51 is going to beat a 20 year old 1000cc inline four..... keep in mind, this is all straight line speed... when you factor in corners then it all changes

In short... it totally depends on about a million different factors

Answer 2

The C.C is the combined volume, bore and stroke of the combustion chambers in the engine. The larger the number, the larger the volume of the combustion chambers.

Size = power. In general, the larger the size of the engine, the more power it can potentially generate. There are a few exceptions.

A 500 CC motorcycle engine will almost always be more powerful than a 100 CC motorcycle engine.

Answer 3

cc = cubic centimeters.

Cubic centimeters measure the volume of a three-dimensional substance, such as a liquid or a gas. Or in this case, both: You are dealing with the volume of fuel mixed with air that powers motorcycles. Make a cube that's one centimeter long (0.39 of an inch), and you'll have one cubic centimeter.

What does this have to do with the size of a motorcycle engine? And why does a higher number of ccs on the tank translate to a faster motorcycle shooting down the highway?

This brings us to the concept of displacement, which is the stuff of science class discussions―and which a mechanic can discuss with you in depth. Displacement measures how many cubic centimeteres 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 125 cc of the fuel-air mixture through the system, then you have a 125 cc engine.

Now, 125 cc of fuel mixture, when ignited in the engine, will combust with a certain amount of force and propel the motorcycle with a certain amount of power. In an engine with a displacement of, say, 250 cc, more fuel will combust at once and more energy will be released.

On the other hand, a higher-displacement engine will burn more fuel, the bike will weigh more (and therefore need more power to go fast), and other considerations. But generally, a motorcycle with a higher engine displacement (measured in cubic centimeters) will have more power, being able to propel more weight and at faster speeds.

Answer 4

You have piston bore size, but you also have crank shaft too.

In a 4hp lawnmower, you can put a 5hp crank shaft in it, or you can use a 3 1/2 hp piston in 5 hp engine.
The capacity will change and the power will change. Everybody loves 4 hp blocks for building racing go carts.

Now when it comes to a bike and you 3want faster speed, it depends on what you are looking for.
1. Dirt Bike
2. Road Racing
3. Drag Racing

If your after speed on a dirt bike, you will need two stroke better than four stroke engines for best peformance.

Answer 5

C.C.s or cubic centimetres is simply the amount or volume of water the engine displaces. You can have a 350 cubic inch Chevy that pushes 400 horsepower, or a 350 cid Chevy that only pushes 10hp. It is all determined by things like bore, stroke, compression ratios, etc. Cubic inches mean nothing in determining hp.

Answer 6

cc's is a measure of the engines piston volume. Generally, the higher the cc's the more powerful thhe engine. Car engines are measured the same way except in liters (1000 cc = 1 liter.)

Answer 7

When the rider pushes the pedals, they turn a crank. The crank has one or more sprockets (toothed wheels) called chainrings or chainwheels. A chain fits around the chainring and extends to a smaller sprocket, called a cog, on the rear wheel. As the chainring turns, it moves the chain. The moving chain turns the cog, which turns the rear wheel. This action gives the bicycle a forward motion.

Answer 8

The BHP of the bike also determines the capacity of an engine

Answer 9

the cc stands for the cubic capacity of the engine the cubic capacity of engine depends on the volume of cylinder greater the volume, higher the dimensions &/or no of cylinders. higher would be the output of engine in terms of torque, please note: higher cylinder dimensions means more fuel intake & subsequintly lower mileage

Answer 10

cc=cubic centimetres
its the volume of the air the bike pumps in the cylinder along with the fuel per stroke
