Anti-squat
Among anti-squat a device on wheeled vehicles that the "dip" when accelerating, and thus a pitching motion of the body to the rear by which is understood dynamic wheel load prevent or to reduce. It is also referred to as starting pitch compensation .
With motorcycles , the length of the arm and the position of the arm (including the height of the pivot point) are decisive for the compensation of the starting pitch. The anti-squat constructions are the ATK system (anti-tension chain drive) from 1981, which provides compensation by reducing the chain tension, and on racing machines the parallelogram swing arms on the MV Agusta 500 (1950) and Kawasaki KR 750 (1976) known. The progressive cantilever rocker and the paralever and its offshoot, the tetralever system , have established themselves on the market .
