Triple tree

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

A triple tree is a two-part motorcycle component that attaches the forks to the frame to make steering possible.

A common (and debated) modification to the triple tree and/or to the forks is known as 'raking'. The term rake is used to indicate the angle of the steering head measured in degrees from a line 90 degrees to the ground. Essentially a 'raked' front-end is one that has been adjusted to a more pronounced forward angle.

In the United Kingdom they are more commonly known as the top and bottom yokes.
