<p>The front suspension system for a motorcycle wheel comprises a downwardly and forwardly inclined suspension structure (5) mounted on the steering column (1), and two swinging arms (10,11) both disposed substantially parallel to the plane of the motorcycle wheel (8) and pivoted at one end (110, 111) to the suspension structure (5) and at the other end (210, 211) to a wheel-carrying element (9, 109), so that the suspension structure (5), the two swinging arms (10, 11) and the wheel-carrying element (9, 109) form an articulated quadrilateral. The wheel-carrying element (9, 109) has a prolongation which is parallel to the plane of the motorcycle wheel (8) and extends forward beyond the two connection points (210, 211) between the two swinging arms (10, 11) and the wheel-carrying element (9, 109), with the motorcycle wheel (8) mounted on the said prolongation. The articulated quadrilateral (111, 110, 210, 211) is located at the rear of the suspension structure (5). Resilient and/or shock absorber means (15,17), acting on the said articulated quadrilateral (111, 110, 210, 211), are mounted in front of the suspension structure (5) and are connected either to one of the two swinging arms (10, 11) or to the wheel-carrying element (9, 109), through at least one connecting rod (14).</p> |
