A SADDLE RIDING VEHICLE WITH AN ELONGATED TANK
The present invention relates to a saddle riding vehicle, preferably enduro. The vehicle comprises steering tube to which a steering assembly which controls a front wheel is rotatably connected. Saddle riding vehicle (1) comprises a motor assembly (2) and a frame to which said motor assembly (2) is connected; said vehicle (1) comprises a tank (7) supported by said frame. Such a tank comprises an upper section (71) in a position proximal to said steering tube (11), wherein said upper section (71) comprises two side portions (71A, 71B) spaced apart in the width direction and each of which extends in a position outside a corresponding frame front side. The tank also comprises a central section (72), communicating with the upper section (71), and which extends towards said rear wheel (4) according to the profile of said front part of said frame. The tank (7) further comprises a lower section (73), communicating with said central section (72), which is comprised between the rear sides (18A, 18B) of the frame.

Steering Device for Two- and Three-Wheeled Vehicles
The invention proceeds from a steering device for two- and three-wheeled vehicles, which ensures a rotationally fixed connection between handlebars and a handlebar stem and/or between a handlebar stem and a fork of the two- or three-wheeled vehicle, and a steering device for two- and three-wheeled vehicles having a stop. The steering device has a frame with a head tube (1), a fork (2) with a stem tube (3) and a handlebar stem (4) with handlebars (7). In addition, a stop can be provided for the handlebars (7), which consists of a base (12), which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the fork (2) of the two- or three-wheeled vehicle, with a recess (14) and a stop element (15), which is securely arranged in the bearing shell (11) and protrudes radially into the recess (14).
According to the invention, in each case one component of the rotationally fixed connection has a smooth cylindrical surface over its axial length, whilst the surface, which is in frictional operative connection with this smooth cylindrical surface in the mounted state, of the other component, which is arranged coaxially to that first-mentioned, is constructed as an n-sided polygon.

Bicycle handlebar assembly with v-shaped stem
A bicycle handlebar assembly comprises a base bar, a v-shaped stem selectively removable from the base bar, and a bicycle fork assembly. Control cables from the bicycle may be routed from the base bar into hollow diverging stem members of the v-shaped stem. The bicycle fork assembly comprises an external-steerer fork having a load-bearing member and a preload tensioning rod. The preload tensioning rod fits within a head tube of the bicycle, and a hollow space around the preload tensioning rod accommodates control cables passing from the v-shaped stem into a hollow portion of the bicycle frame. The v-shaped stem is secured against the base bar by a pair of nut plates. In some examples, an engagement portion of an accessory such as an aerobar extension assembly is configured to secure the v-shaped stem and an aerobar extension against the base bar.

Steering linkage for bicycles
A steering linkage assembly that allows an offset between a steering axis and a headtube axis of a bicycle. In turn, rider cockpit dimensions are divorced from vehicle performance aspects such that vehicle performance aspects may be tailored regardless of rider size. The steering linkage assembly generally includes linkage members on an opposite side of a linkage chassis than handlebars of the bicycle to improve performance by increasing steering angle range allowed by the linkage. In addition, different linkage members and linkage chasses may be provided to accommodate different offsets between the steering axis and the headtube axis.

Multi-modal monocoque structure for motorcycles
A fastening system for attaching a component to the monocoque of a motorcycle. The fastening system promotes a plurality of riding configurations for the motorcycle. The fastening system includes an assembly of a track and a movable foot piece. The movable foot piece slides along and is locked in the track to secure the component to the track according to a desired riding configuration of the motorcycle. When the component is the headstock, the fastening system allows for a change in the rake angle.
