A suspension for at least a two-wheeled vehicle and at least two-wheeled vehicle with such a suspension. The suspension includes two shock absorbing systems independently operable between the vehicle's frame and wheel.
Claims12
An at least two wheeled vehicle having a suspension, the suspension comprising:
- a steering frame having a pair of clamps connecting a pair of spaced apart sleeves;
- a pair of elongate members having first and second ends and being telescopically received in the pair of sleeves;
- a first shock absorber connected at a first end to the pair of clamps and at a second end to the first end of each of the pair of elongate members;
- and
- a second shock absorber connected to the second end of each of the pair of elongate members.

A suspension for a vehicle frame, the suspension comprising:
- a pair of elongate members having first and second ends;
- a steering frame having:
- a pair of clamps connecting a pair of spaced apart sleeves that telescopically receive the pair of elongate members, and
- a shock absorbing steering stem rotatably connecting the pair of clamps to the vehicle frame at one end to allow steering of the suspension, and connecting at a second end to the pair of elongate members to absorb shock encountered by the elongate members;
- and
- a shock absorber connected to the second end of each of the pair of elongate members to absorb shock encountered by the elongate members.

An at least two-wheeled vehicle having a suspension, the suspension comprising:
- a pair of elongate members connected by a pair of clamps, each elongate member having an upper end and a lower end;
- a shock absorbing steering stem having a shock absorber at the upper end of the elongate members and at least one bearing coupled to the shock absorber and vehicle frame for rotatably coupling the elongate members to the vehicle frame;
- and
- a shock absorber connected to the lower end of each of the elongate members.
