Filed:

Nov 25, 2020

Appl. No.:

17/104748

Inventors:

- Morgan Hill CA, US
Jean-Luc Callahan - San Jose CA, US
Tyler Kraus - San Jose CA, US
Conner Swarthout - Morgan Hill CA, US
Michael McAndrews - Aptos CA, US

International Classification:

B62K 19/32
B62K 21/20
B62K 21/22

Abstract:

A bicycle includes a frame, a suspension assembly and a steering assembly. The frame includes a head tube that rotatably receives a front fork assembly. A steerer tube extends axially away from a fork crown of the front fork assembly. The suspension assembly includes an upper tubular support longitudinally slidable relative to a lower tubular support. The upper and lower supports receive a first positive biasing means and a first negative biasing means. The lower and upper supports are respectively connected to the steerer tube and a stem of the steering assembly such that the upper support slides longitudinally relative to the lower support adjacent the stem and above the fork crown.

International Classification:

B62K 19/32
B62K 21/22
B62K 21/20

Abstract:

A suspension assembly for a bicycle comprises a lower tubular support configured to be received within a steerer tube of a bicycle fork assembly; an upper tubular support configured to be connected to a stem of a steering assembly above an upper end of the steerer tube; and a spring configured to exert a force that biases the upper and lower tubular supports toward an extended position, wherein the upper and lower tubular supports are configured such that the upper tubular support slides longitudinally relative to the lower tubular support adjacent the stem and above a fork crown of the bicycle fork assembly.
