Abstract
A two-wheeled vehicle suspension is provided. The two-wheeled vehicle suspension includes a suspended body, a kinematic joint between two linkage bodies defining an instantaneous velocity center (IVC) axis, a braking mechanism, and a rotary mechanism that applies torque about the IVC axis. When viewed from a plane defined by the IVC axis there is an intersection between projections of the rotary mechanism and the braking mechanism during at least a portion of a travel of the suspension.

A two-wheeled vehicle suspension comprising:
- a suspended body;
- a kinematic joint between two linkage bodies defining an instantaneous velocity center (IVC) axis;
- a braking mechanism;
