Abstract
In a front wheel suspension on a motorcycle, the front wheel is mounted in rearward-sloping supporting members which, in turn, are mounted on the chassis of the vehicle by bearing units comprising link elements and a springing function. The supporting member and the wheel are turnable about a steering line which slopes in a corresponding manner to the supporting members. The bearing units form separate upper and lower bearing units, which are provided with bearing units in or about which the supporting members and the wheel are turnable. Preferably, the upper bearing unit of the bearing units acts as a combined bearing and steering linkage member for the supporting members. The bearing units are torsionally rigid in their respective planes, which extend through the respective securement points or bearings of the bearing units in the chassis and the supporting members. The upper bearing unit of the bearing units is arranged compliantly for torsion or turning motions which arise in the bearing unit when the supporting member and hence the wheel are allotted steering or turning motions or assume steering or turning positions which differ from the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
