2. Bicycle and motorcycle geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Bicycle_and_motorcycle_geometry

   Bike geometry parameters: wheelbase, steering axis angle, fork offset, and trail. Bicycle and motorcycle geometry is the collection of key measurements (lengths and angles) that define a particular bike configuration. Primary among these are wheelbase, steering axis angle, fork offset, and trail.

3. Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_and_motorcycle...

   Steering may be supplied by a rider or, under certain circumstances, by the bike itself. [31] This self-stability is generated by a combination of several effects that depend on the geometry, mass distribution, and forward speed of the bike. Tires, suspension, steering damping, and frame flex can also influence it, especially in motorcycles.

4. Caster angle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caster_angle

   Caster causes a wheel to align with the direction of travel, and can be accomplished either by caster displacement or caster angle. Caster displacement moves the steering axis ahead of the axis of wheel rotation, as with the front wheels of a shopping cart. Caster angle moves the steering axis from vertical. [3]

5. Head tube - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_tube

   The steering axis angle, also called caster angle, is the angle that the head tube and hence the steering axis makes with the horizontal or vertical, depending on convention. The steering axis is the axis about which the steering mechanism (fork, handlebars, front wheel, etc.) pivots.

6. Hub-center steering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hub-center_steering

   The Vyrus 985 C3, an exclusive Italian motorcycle with hub-center steering, of which 24 were sold between 2004-2008 Hub-center steering in Bimota Tesi 1/D. Hub-center steering (HCS) is one of several different types of front-end suspension/steering mechanisms used in motorcycles and cargo bicycles. Hub-center steering is characterized by the ...

7. Countersteering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countersteering

   For a sample motorcycle moving at 22 m/s (50 mph) that has a front wheel with a moment of inertia of 0.6 kgm 2, turning the front wheel one degree in half a second generates a roll moment of 3.5 Nm. In comparison, the lateral force on the front tire as it tracks out from under the motorcycle reaches a maximum of 50 N.

9. Motorcycle fork - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_fork

   A motorcycle fork connects a motorcycle's front wheel and axle to its frame, typically via a yoke, also known as a triple clamp, which consists of an upper yoke joined to a lower yoke via a steering stem, a shaft that runs through the steering head, creating the steering axis.
