ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a suspension system for a motorcycle or the like wherein the rear wheel suspension spring is connected to the frame in such a manner that upward impacts received by the rear tire are reacted on the frame in a substantially horizontal direction rather than vertically as in conventional motorcycles so that the pitching motion and vertical thrust on the rear end of the motorcycle is considerably reduced over rough terrain, a feature which is particularly advantageous in offroad racing.
