Forks

motorcycle forks

The motorcycle forks They are a fundamental part of the design of these vehicles since their creation. It is the piece that connects the handlebar with the front wheel by means of a pair of triple clamps, allowing the motorcycle to have its characteristic structure, transmit the direction and, in addition, include front pneumatic brake and suspension systems. The forks are attached to the frame, providing an attachment point that establishes critical launch and trail geometric parameters, making them an essential part of the motorcycle''s handling.

It''s so important that there is a wide variety of types of motorcycle forks for different ways of riding, being considered an important part in the specialization of the vehicle.

Types of motorcycle forks

Among the types of motorcycle forks, we highlight:

- Inverted telescopic forks

The inverted motorcycle fork, or inverted suspension fork, has the function of improve the performance of the vehicle and is mainly used in competition motorcycles. This type of suspension allows for greater stiffness and therefore greater handling of the brakes and steering. This allows you to reach higher speeds than you would normally reach on a normal road and which are necessary to stand out in a professional competition.

The inverted suspension It is more expensive than the conventional one, mainly because we are dealing with pieces that are considered professional. Of course, at Mototic you can find different options for inverted motorcycle telescopic forks, so you can get professional quality for your vehicle as well.

- Conventional telescopic forks

Today, a so-called conventional telescopic fork is standard on most commercial models. This is the most common form of front suspension and contains a spring and damper system, making it perfectly capable of adapting to the use given by its driver.

Unlike the previous type, they are not designed to reach enormous competition speeds, but they are very capable of performing well on the road.

Varieties of motorcycle forks

Among the varieties of telescopic motorcycle forks, we have the following:

- Motorcycle scooter forks

The cylinders of the forks for motorcycle scooters have a particularity: a small motor that provides the propulsion needed to start the bike. Cylinders range from 50cc to 250cc and work with 10-inch wheels generally. This adapts very well to the configuration of these types of bikes that do not usually have much power.

- Enduro motorcycle forks

Enduro bikes, and also motocross bikes, demand a particularly efficient suspension and, for this, they have special forks. Currently, they exist in different capacities: 125 cc, 200 cc, 250 cc, 350 cc, 450 cc and 650 cc; are longer and they have more suspension to withstand the harsh tests to which they are subjected in cross-country competitions. The difference with motocross is that this sport is played on a closed circuit and the nature of this sport requires even more cushioning.

- chopper motorcycle forks

Chopper forks, also known as springer and parallelogram forks, consist of double bars that are attached to a wheel axle by the end of a tilting plate. If something characterizes choppers, it is their great size and weight, in addition to their speed and stability. These motorcycles are visually spectacular and require an equally spectacular suspension, which is why both types of forks for chopper motorcycles have long cylinders and accessories, such as springs to further improve the suspension and allow greater comfort and stability when driving (in addition to to look more imposing).

- Sports bike forks

Sport-type motorcycle forks are highly variable. As we have seen, they vary depending on the sport: while motocross or enduro bikes are longer and thinner (since the motorcycle prioritizes lightness and maneuverability), track racing bikes are more stable and optimized for speed. This makes them also heavier and at the same time more comfortable to maneuver at high speeds. Everything will depend on the functionality that is being sought in the vehicle in question and the original design of the brand.

How do motorcycle forks work?

The front suspension system of motorcycles It works thanks to a system of springs attached to a piston, immersed in a mixture of oil and air. As the wheels press on the bike''s fork, and with each obstacle overcome, the piston compresses the spring above and the air is pushed along with the oil. Both are fluid and, therefore, are not compressible, so they reject the pressure of the ground. However, the combination of oil and air allows this rejection to be smoother, not abrupt, greatly reducing the impact of terrain changes on the rest of the mechanism and on the driver.
