This article is based on optimization of a motorcycle swing arm. The modification process is based on material, topological modification and validation using finite element analysis. The results obtained from modified analysis are compared with the evaluation of the original component. The goal of the experiment is to reduce the mass of the component without compromising the other relevant factors. For analysis and study, a well reputed general class 150 cc motorcycle’s swing arm was selected.

Keywords: Swing-arm, topological modification and validation.
