Abstract: The epicentre goal of this study is to optimize design and analysis a quad bike chassis. This is a platform that comprises of various automotive components like chassis for which more durable design is a primary requirement as these vehicles are more concentrated on rider safety parameters and all other requirements. Along with this, an additional parameter considered while designing was to keep the overall price as minimal as possible. In order to accomplish this task, front impact test was conducted and supported with the aid of theoretical calculations. A workaround was introduced to avoid going for high strength material and obtaining the required factor of safety using the low cost and strength material. To attain adequate beam strength in prior bumpers it has generally been necessary to provide reinforcement, often in the form of added bar structure or the section mass has been substantially increased. In order to effectively achieve this requirement, we aimed at introducing a pair of dashpot dampers which aimed at absorbing the higher impact. Below study shows the feasibility in terms of efficiency and construction cost of the system with proper implementation.
