SINGLE PIVOT SUSPENSION DEVICE FOR FRONT STEERING WHEEL, THE DEVICE BEING PROVIDED WITH A TORQUE LINK AND A SPECIFIC CALIPER SUPPORT MEMBER FOR MOUNTING STANDARD ELEMENTS
In the field of vehicle suspension, theoretically, single pivot architecture is the simplest way to produce a suspension. However, in practice, this requires specific parts to manage the forces associated with the braking system, which creates a complicated architecture that is incompatible with standard interface elements. The device according to the present disclosure has a specific caliper support member enabling this type of suspension to be considerably simplified and optimized. The device is provided with a single pivot rocker, which provides a single degree of freedom for the front wheel to move in an arc, a caliper support member connected to the rocker by a pivot joint coaxial with the wheel axis and a torque link connecting the rocker to the fork frame by pivot or ball joints. The device according to the present disclosure is particularly suitable for front steering wheel suspension, for motorcycles, bicycles, two-wheeled vehicles, etc.

Straddle-type vehicle
A straddle-type vehicle includes a drive unit used for driving a rear wheel of the straddle-type vehicle, wherein a discharge port that discharges oil in the drive unit is installed on a lower section of the drive unit, and a guide that guides oil to an outside in a vehicle width direction is installed in a vicinity of a lower section of the discharge port.
Front two-wheel suspension system
A front two-wheel suspension system having a pair of left and right front wheels includes: left and right upper kingpin axles that support the left and right front wheels and are pivoted in a yaw direction by a steering shaft; left and right knuckle arms that are coupled to the left and right upper kingpin axles and pivoted in the yaw direction by the steering shaft; left and right upper arms that couple the left and right knuckle arms and left and right cushion units; and left and right first pivots that make the left and right knuckle arms and the left and right upper arms pivotable in the yaw direction. The upper kingpin axles and the first pivots are coaxial.
