Trail decreases as head angle increases (becomes steeper), as fork offset increases, or as wheel diameter decreases. Motorcyclists tend to speak of trail in relation to rake angle. The larger the rake angle, the larger the trail. Note that, on a bicycle, as rake angle increases, head angle decreases. Trail can vary as the bike leans or steers.
The roll displacement term is the most important one and is mainly controlled by trail, steering rake and the offset of the front frame mass center from the steering axis. All the terms involve complex combinations of bicycle design parameters and sometimes the speed.
