Like most people, I want it all. My new bike should satisfy both requirements. Enough torque to pull hard and enough HP to keep going when the torque curve starts dropping off.

You missed the "r" in torque. I read it as touque, what us Canadians call a winter cap. Puts a whole new spin on the thread...lol

I truth a dyno measure electrical energy produced when a large drum is spun with a load. So I guess it measures watts.

potato, potato, tomato, tomato!
All spining things have both they are the same expressed differently you can't have one with out the other. All be it at one or less RPM its real hard to express HP it is still there. Both are a way to explain work. Torque is no more hand of God than HP is its just a way we explain work being done. For the record I'll take reliable for the win. I don't care how the work is measured as long as its there when I ask for it. To say one is better than the other is complete crap. Cause when taken to extreems both are nearly unusable. Example a steam engine is known for a crap ton of torque (lots of HP also) and a F1 car is know for a crap ton of HP(also lots of torque too) but you can't mow your lawn with either. |
