An inlay element to be arranged in a clamping region of a fiber-reinforced tube has an elongate round body, which has an outer lateral surface on which there are arranged at least two protrusions extending radially away from the lateral surface. The protrusions each have an end face remote from the round body for the areal application of an external clamping force. A tube arrangement is provided with the fiber-reinforced tube.

Inlay element for a fiber-reinforced tube

A motorcycle having a forked front wheel support with two rigid fork arms on which a front wheel of the motorcycle is mounted, an upper trailing link provided for supporting wheel support forces connected via an upper joint to an upper area of the wheel support, and lower trailing link provided for supporting wheel support forces situated below the upper trailing link and connected via a lower joint to the lower trailing link, in which at least one of the two joints is elastically connected to its respective upper or lower trailing link and/or to the wheel support.

An integral safety helmet is described in which a chin guard can be folded up. For the release of the chin guard, a central opening bar is provided on the front side of the chin guard. As a result, the locking mechanism can easily be opened by only one hand or by the thumb of the motorcyclist. In certain embodiments, the opening bar is designed as a two-armed lever having an upper arm and a lower lever arm. In this manner, the chin piece can be released in two different manners.

Integral safety helmet

A front wheel suspension for a motorcycle in which the nose-diving during braking is reduced; for that purpose, an auxiliary spring is additionally connected with the spring element of the spring system during the braking operation. In a preferred embodiment, brake means act on a bolt which in turn supports a thrust rod stressing the auxiliary spring during the braking.
