Camber stiffness is a parameter used to describe the camber thrust generated by a tire, and it is influenced by inflation pressure and normal load. [3] The net camber thrust is usually in front of the center of the wheel and so generates a camber torque , twisting torque , or twisting moment . [ 3 ]
Camber thrust contributes to the ability of bikes to negotiate a turn with the same radius as automobiles but with a smaller steering angle. [45] When a bike is steered and leaned in the same direction, the camber angle of the front tire is greater than that of the rear and so can generate more camber thrust, all else being equal.

Tests on motorcycle tires have found that the ratio of cornering stiffness over lateral stiffness produces values 20-25% higher than those calculated as 63% of the steady state-value. [3] The relaxation length associated with camber thrust has been found to be nearly zero. [2]
A witness told an officer the motorcyclist had been traveling at a high rate of speed, police said.
Any number of the wheels can tilt, and advantages to tilting wheels are that the wheels do not need to bear large side loads, [1] and the tires mounted on them can generate camber thrust, which can reduce the need for a slip angle to generate cornering force. [8] Configurations include:
The number of childfree women is at a record high: 48 percent of women between the ages of 18 and 44 don’t have kids, according to 2014 Census numbers. The Huffington Post and YouGov asked 124 women why they choose to be childfree.
