Types of Motorcycle Suspension E-Bike Suspension by Ravinder Nath Rajotiya - February 20, 2021March 1, 20210 Types of suspension geometries Motorcycle suspensions have significantly less geometries to think about than cars as they are having two wheels. However different geometries may have big effects in the bike’s handling. Here the geometries are divided into front and rear geometries. Following are the in-depth details of a motorcycle suspension system and the important aspects relating it 1) Front suspension The most variations and working of the most popular and in use front suspension in motorcycles are as follows - Telescopic fork Telescopic fork suspension is the most common and conventional type of front suspension and is used in almost every type of motorcycle today. It consists of a hydraulic tube with an internal spring coil. One of its ends has two forks attached
Introduction to motorcycle suspension E-Bike Suspension by Ravinder Nath Rajotiya - February 20, 2021March 1, 20210 Introduction Suspensions play a vital role in improving ride quality and ride comfort. It connects the vehicle’s body to the tires and transfers all the forces between the vehicle’s body and the road. The suspension system of a vehicle refers to the group of mechanical components that connect the wheels to the frame or body which include a system of springs, shock absorbers and linkages. Suspensions serve a dual purpose in a motorcycle i.e. contributing to the bike’s handling and braking. It also protects the vehicle and the luggage inside it from damage and wear. Suspension systems can be characterized into 3 groups: passive, semi-active and active. The passive suspension system limits the motion of the body and wheel by limiting their relative
