Description / Abstract:
This dictionary of terms was prepared for use by those with a
need to describe and understand the dynamics and handling of
two-wheeled, single track vehicles. It is intended to span the gap
between vehicle dynamics specialists and those with a more general
interest.
This report is pertinent to such areas as vehicle design and
development, the description of two-wheeler properties, rider
training and education, and the preparation of standards and
regulations.
This report was prepared by the SAE Motorcycle Committee, which
solicits suggestions for improvements and additions to be
considered in future revisions. Comments should be directed to SAE
Headquarters.
Rationale—
This document has been reaffirmed to comply with the SAE 5-Year
Review policy.
