Analysis of anti-squat geometry, spring characteristics, and the impact of damping on suspension extension during roll velocity build-up.
The text provides a comprehensive study of how and why motorcycles behave the way they do during motion. Foale uses a diagrammatic approach to explain heavy concepts, intentionally avoiding overly dense mathematics to remain accessible to technical laypeople.
by Tony Foale is widely considered the authoritative "bible" for motorcycle engineering and dynamics. It bridges the gap between complex physics and practical application, making it essential reading for engineers, builders, and serious enthusiasts. Book Overview
Exploration of how tire contact patch shapes and structural stiffness influence feedback, specifically in scenarios like trail braking.
