Croccolo D., De Agostinis M. Motorbike Suspensions: Modern design and optimisation

Springer London, 2013, VII, 105 p. 98 illus.This book addresses the fundamental aspects of the structural design of a motorbike fork. Although it may look as a simple component, the motorbike fork plays a critical role in the overall dynamic behaviour of motorcycles. It must provide appropriate stiffness characteristics, damping capabilities and the lowest sliding friction values in order to guarantee as much performance, safety and comfort as possible to the rider.
