Design and Performance Analysis of Advanced Front Suspension System for Sports Motorcycles

Abstract

This paper presents the design, modeling, and finite element analysis (FEA) of an advanced front suspension system intended for high-performance motorcycles. Unlike conventional telescopic forks, the proposed suspension combines optimized linkage geometry and lightweight materials to enhance handling, ride comfort, and braking stability. Computer-Aided Design (CAD) models were developed and analyzed using ANSYS to evaluate stress, deformation, and factor of safety under dynamic conditions. Additionally, material optimization and weight reduction strategies were explored. Simulation results show that the system improves stability and reduces brake dive, making it a potential alternative to traditional suspension designs.
