Next is picking a front end that fits those dimensions.There are so many well-known bike builders in the industry. Now you know where the front axle must be. I am more of a middle of the road, I want the looks of rake but I want to keep it bit more quick handling but not a crotch rocket personal choice, make your personal choice based on what matters to you.Īs the diagram above shows, get the relationship of the neck angle to the front axle. My personal choice based on how I want mine to perform. I dont like long rake and the long front ends that go with them. Put the rake on it however you like or want. Ok so now you have read the tech link and have a grasp on the general theory. Except a trike will not forgive large trail like a bike that leans. In general all the same traits when applied to a trike. Assuming it is built correct, not too heavy on the bars, slower to change direction, takes more input to make a change, lazy, forgiving, does not take constant attention to keep it in a straight line. Exciting to drive and you have to pay attention and drive it all the time. Very very quick handling, twitchy, the sports car of the bike world. very steep forks, not much rake and also not much trail. Now we know that there is no "ideal" rake.ĭifferences in rake will give a bike different characteristics. So there.you can hop over the the wing section and learn about the same design concerns as we have with our custom builds. The venders like to hide the theory from you (change in trail). So when you buy a kit or a kitted bike go ahead and get the ez steer kit (or whatever the vender calls it today). Instant "power steering" feel and no decell head shake. What it is is carefully designed raked trees.
Heavy gorilla arm steering and decell head shake. You can buy the trike kitted bike and the "ez steer kit" is an option (and an expensive one). So those bikes have around 4 inches of trail. Their intended purpose is highway cruising with high speed stability, slow steering, no twitchyness at all. Wings and glides are factory made with lots of trail. I bet our friend Zook can tell us a first hand story about trail.
