ABSTRACT:
The invention describes a front wheel suspension for motorcycles, in the case of which a telescopic fork is swivellably held on the vehicle body by way of a longitudinal control arm. In order to prevent an outward rotation of the telescopic fork during the compression of the front wheel, the invention provides a ball joint on the steering head which ball joint is held so that it can be rotated about a transverse axis. The rotating movement of the ball joint is initiated by way of a steering strut by the swivel movement of the longitudinal control arm. As a result of the rotatability of the ball joint, the damaging outward rotating of the telescopic fork is counteracted. In the ideal case, a parallel displacement of the telescopic fork is achieved during the compression of the front wheel.
