In motorcycles, the steering axis angle is measured from the vertical and called the caster angle, rake angle, or just rake; [5] a 0° rake is therefore vertical. For example, Moto Guzzi [6] offers: a 2007 Breva V 1100 with a rake of 25°30′ (25.5 degrees) a 2007 Nevada Classic 750 with a rake of 27.5°
Front suspension of a race car — the caster angle is formed by the line between upper and lower ball joint An example of a chopper with a raked fork at an extreme caster angle. The caster angle [1] or castor angle [2] is the angular displacement of the steering axis from the vertical axis of a steered wheel in a car, motorcycle, bicycle ...
where is the approximate radius, is the wheelbase, is the lean angle, is the steering angle, and is the caster angle of the steering axis. [ 9 ] Third, because the front and rear tires can have different slip angles due to weight distribution, tire properties, etc., bikes can experience understeer or oversteer .
A positive caster angle aids in directional stability, as the wheel tends to trail, but a large angle makes steering more difficult. Curves described by the rear wheels of a conventional automobile. While the vehicle moves with a constant speed its inner and outer rear wheels do not.
Angel numbers are repeating number sequences, often used as a guide for deeper spiritual exploration. These sequences can range from 000 to 999 and have a distinct meaning and energy.
Self aligning torque , slip angle , and camber angle are also shown. Self aligning torque ( SAT ), also known as aligning torque or aligning moment ( Mz , moment about the z direction ), is the torque that a tire creates as it rolls along, which tends to steer it, i.e. rotate it around its vertical axis.
With a Saxon-Motodd fork, the trail and caster angle increases during braking instead of decreasing as with traditional telescopic forks. [5] BMW's boxer twins have been equipped with Telelever forks since 1994, but some newer boxers like the BMW R nineT have reverted to conventional telescopic forks for aesthetic and packaging reasons.
Caster angle is used to describe automobile geometry. Rake and trail are bike specific. -AndrewDressel 03:08, 12 June 2009 (UTC) Doesn't help that there is a picture of a motorbike on the caster angle page but no mention of rake and trail. I might try to write that into the opening paragraph.. Vespine 06:05, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
