A motorcycle fork connects a motorcycle's front wheel and axle to its frame, typically via a pair of triple clamps. It typically incorporates the front suspension and front brake, and allows the front wheel to rotate about the steering axis so that the bike may be steered. Handlebars attach to the top clamp.
