Abstract
A shock absorbing mechanism for wheels for absorbing horizontally-applied shock loads experienced by the wheel whereupon the axle and hub of the wheel are permitted to move rearwardly, or 'slide', upon the application of a relatively substantial horizontal shock force. The spring rate, stiffness and travel are all adjustable. Means are provided for anchoring the stationary portion of the wheel braking mechanism to a stationary portion of the motorcycle and, should it be desired to do so, for bypassing the shock absorbing mechanism of the present invention to restore the axle and wheel combination to the former function non-shock absorbing relationship.
