Front Fork
A Front Fork is the component that connects a motorcycle's front wheel to its frame, providing both steering capability and suspension function.
Front Forks absorb impacts from road surfaces, maintaining tire contact while enhancing rider comfort and control. They come in several designs, with telescopic forks being most common in modern motorcycles. These consist of tubes that slide within each other, containing springs and damping mechanisms.
In high-performance motorsport, many bikes utilize inverted (upside-down) forks, which place the larger diameter tubes at the top for increased rigidity and improved handling. The design and setup of front forks significantly influence a motorcycle's steering response, stability, and braking characteristics.
