A suspension assembly for a front end of a vehicle to provide lateral flex for absorption of lateral forces. The suspension assembly comprises a steering shaft including two ends: an end coupling to an upper triple clamp and the other end coupling to a lower triple clamp. A spring unit is coupled to one of the two ends of the steering shaft and absorbs forces that are transferred from a road surface up through a front wheel and the pair of forks retained by the upper and lower triple clamps. A pivot mechanism is coupled to the other one of the two ends of the steering shaft to create a pivoting axis. The suspension assembly permits the front end to pivot about the pivoting axis and the spring unit to flex in response to bumps in the road surface.
