TY  - JOUR
AB  - In this paper, two alternative front suspension sys-tems and their influence on motorcycle nonlinear dynamicsare investigated. Based on an existing high-fidelity motor-cycle mathematical model, the front end is modified to ac-commodate both Girder and Hossack suspension systems.Both  of  them  have  in  common  a  double  wishbone  designthat varies the front end geometry on certain manoeuvringsand, consequently, the machine’s behaviour. The kinemat-ics of the two systems and their impact on the motorcycleperformance is analysed and compared to the well knowntelescopic fork suspension system. Stability study for bothsystems is carried out by combination of nonlinear dynami-cal simulation and root-loci analysis methods.
