what is bhp(bike horse power) in bikes and how is it related with engine .?

Answer 1

bhp = brake horse power

relates to the power produced and generally more power = more acceleration

Answer 2

bhp is brake horse power.
It indicates the power produced by an engine. It is the same as horse power. The more the BHP the more power it has. A bike with more bhp doesn't mean it has a better top speed or acceleration. It just shows the amount of load that it can take. top speed and acceleration are more dependent on the gear ratios of the gear box used with the engine.

Answer 3

BHP - BRAKE HORSE POWER

BHP means the actual power which is delivered to the wheels.
Higher the BHP, higher will be the load carrying capability of a vehicle.

Torque means the torsional force or u can say it as the pulling force.
Higher the torque,Greater will the Pulling speed.

Answer 4

Horse power is directly correlated to torque (the output of an engine) and revolutions per minute (the number of times the crank rotates in a minute). It is the latter which makes all the difference – a multi cylinder engine will be able to rev higher (more often) than a similar sized single or twin. Further complications to this is the method of cooling, any engine will be able to rev as high as it can cool down – otherwise it will melt (in extreme circumstances) – an aircooled engine will not cool as fast as a liquid cooled engine. Another is the stroke and the bore, theories and different sizes abound as to which is the better a narrow bore with a long stroke puts strain on the big and little end and requires a deeper crank, a wide bore and short stroke makes for a heavier piston, currently, I believe the 600 cc sportsbikes favour an almost square relationship (stroke almost equals bore or vice versa). >Cubic Centimeter is when you take an engine and drop it in a tank of water, the amount of water dispensed is the CC of the engine. Oh dear – that would only give you a wet engine and the volume of the engine not the displacement of the pistons in the cylinders.

Answer 5

BHP=Brake Horse Power
This plays a significant role for the speed pick-up of any bike/car.
But it affects the mileage of the vehicle.
As u find more BHP, the vehicle is faster to reach it's defined speed but it also affects the mileage as u ll find low mileage in vehicle having more BHP. But this is not only the thing that affects speed pick-up as there are many other criteria that affects speed pick-up as well as mileage.
Njoy..

Answer 6

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engine's horsepower without the loss in power caused by the gearbox, generator, differential, water pump and other auxiliaries. Thus the prefix "brake" refers to where the power is measured: at the engine's output shaft, as on an engine dynamometer. The actual horsepower delivered to the driving wheels is less. An engine would have to be retested to obtain a rating in another system. The term "brake" refers to the original use of a band brake to measure torque during the test (which is multiplied by the engine speed in revs/sec and 2*pi radians/rev to give power, which is then converted to horsepower).

Answer 7

BHP is the horsepower at the drive wheel, as opposed to the engine horsepower at the engine crankshaft, as some horse power is lost through the drive train, due to friction, clutch slippage, chain bind, etc.

Answer 8

HI Mech......

The horsepower (hp) is the name of several non-metric units of power. In scientific discourse the term "horsepower" is rarely used because of the various definitions and the existence of an SI unit for power, the watt (W). However, the idea of horsepower persists as a legacy term in many languages, particularly in the automotive industry for listing the maximum rate of power application of internal-combustion engines.

Answer 9

By bike, I assume you mean a motorbike. Bicycles cannot be measured in horsepower because people power them.
You might do well to look at the two links or research it further on your own. Simply type "measuring horsepower" into Google. Often times you are your own best resource.
Torque is what defines propelling you from point A to point B, not horsepower.

Answer 10

BHP is the true Hp.
