Abstract: A front wheel suspension for a single-track vehicle, wherein a front wheel is rotatably supported on a fork-like wheel carrier and the wheel carrier is coupled to a frame and a steering bar of the vehicle connected to a handlebar, wherein the steering bar is coupled to the wheel carrier by a lever connection. The wheel carrier is coupled to at least one frame bar by an articulated connection, and the articulated connection has a substantially vertical pivot axis. The steering bar is comprised of a fork bar partially encompassing the front wheel, which fork bar is coupled to the wheel carrier via the lever connection. Thereby a front wheel suspension having improved characteristics in regard to the suspension, the direct handling of the steering, and a reduction of the load of the frame can be provided.
