Can An S2 Elise Clear Speed Humps?

[PPPMAT]

As the title says - I don't get my 111s for a couple of months yet but I live on an estate with some really nice traffic humps.

 

Bloke across the road sold his 360 modena because it wouldn't clear them properly - will I have the same problem???

I should think you'll have no problems.

 

I make it over all speed humps in my S1 that has been lowered to 110mm at the front and 120mm at the back. I do take each one carefully and i have to make sure that i finish braking before the hump too, as that can cause the chin to rub the hump. (does that sound strange to anyone else?)

[PPPMAT]

'chin to rub the hump' - sounds like a good night in !!

 

I know what you mean though - thanks for the reply.

I'm really glad you asked this question, as the local council saw fit to put in those nasty 'cut off pyramid' ones down my road that are supposed to let ambulances through.

 

Its my only concern about getting an Elise! (forget the running costs...)

I picked up my 111s two weeks ago and the speed humps round Worcs have not proved any problems - mind you I do take it slow

 

BTW only 150 miles to go before first dealer check and then full throttle time

Yeah my 160 on LSS (100mm clearance) hasn't been a problem for any bumps yet - although ramps can be a problem!

[Scott_Mac]

Should be fine... also have a lowered S1 and i clear speed bumps easily, as Matty says its the ramps into car parks etc that are often the problem.

 

360 Modena sits at < 100mm so that would be why its a problem

I have to make sure I'm not braking when I come up to speed bumps or the nost dips and clips them, if you take it slow its fine. Ramps.. now theres a problem!

[PPPMAT]

Sounds like I should be ok then - to be honest you have to go slow or you'd knock all your fillings out
