ET-X Rearset Finite Element Analysis (FEA).

During the design phase, we run the numbers in many different ways.  In order to analyze our designs for mechanical strengths and weaknesses, we perform FEA on all of our components, simulating various loads we expect our products to encounter -- from the rider's weight on the footpegs to the force of a highside crash.

In this simulation of a lowside crash, the force of the bike landing on the rearset deflects the triangle inward, as we'd expect.  We designed the part to deflect in order to absorb impact energy without breaking the part or the motorcycle frame tabs.  Through other calculations based on FEA techniques, we were able to verify also that the rearset would return nearly to its original shape after impact.
