Practice question

If you reduce the fork offset (triple clamp offset) on a motorcycle while keeping rake angle and tyre size constant, what is the effect on the chassis geometry?

  1. The rake angle automatically steepens by several degrees
  2. The wheelbase increases by several inches, slowing corner entry
  3. The trail increases, making steering heavier and more stable at speed
  4. The trail decreases, making steering quicker and less stable

Answer: C — The trail increases, making steering heavier and more stable at speed
