Abstract
A single-track vehicle, in particular a motorcycle, includes a frame, a rocker rotatable relative to the frame, and a leaf spring connected to the frame and to the rocker to achieve a spring effect between the rocker and the frame. The leaf spring is connected to the frame via a first lever and a first rotary bearing such that a first rotational axis of the first rotary bearing is transversely offset relative to the leaf spring as a result of the first lever. Alternatively or in addition, the leaf spring is connected to the rocker via a second lever and a second rotary bearing such that a second rotational axis of the second rotary bearing is transversely offset relative to the leaf spring as a result of the second lever.
Claims17
A single-track vehicle comprising:
- a frame;
- a swingarm rotatable relative to the frame;
- and a leaf spring in contact with the vehicle at only two contact points by only two connections, a first connection of the two connections connecting the leaf spring to the frame, and a second connection of the two connections connecting the leaf spring to the swingarm to achieve a spring effect between the swingarm and the frame, wherein the leaf spring is connected to the frame via a first lever and a first pivot bearing such that a first pivot of the first pivot bearing is transversely offset relative to the leaf spring by the first lever, and/or wherein the leaf spring is connected to the swingarm via a second lever and a second pivot bearing such that a second pivot of the second pivot bearing is transversely offset relative to the leaf spring by the second lever.
