Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to synthesize all possible designs of anti-dive front suspension mechanisms with simple and multiple joints for scooter motorcycles. At first, the creative design methodology is presented. Then, the topological characteristics of the anti-dive front suspension mechanisms are analysed, and the design requirements and constraints are concluded and summarized. By way of the creative mechanism design methodology, all possible suspension mechanisms for motorcycles are synthesized. The results show that there are 11 design concepts for anti-dive front suspension mechanisms with six links.
