Need to get out of a corner, fast? Well, there's a little gizmo for that - and it is changing the way riders are engaging with the track in fundamental ways. This week, the boys give you the lowdown on that most mysterious piece of tech: the Ride Height Device. Banned by the Formula 1 but embraced by Ducati, this little miracle of engineering allows bikes to pull off corners that would have been impossible just a few years ago. But where did it come from and how does it work?Peter has seen the Device for himself and is here to tell us all about it, while Mat dives deep into its history. From German traffic laws to hydraulic computing, this is the story of what happens when human skill is put against briliant engineering.With big thanks to Brad Baloo from The Next Men and Gentleman's Dub Club, who helped us out with an awesome new themesong!
