Modal simulations comparing the behaviour of different types of motorcycle suspension in specific conditions are found in the literature. However, there is a lack of sufficient field experiments that can be used both to calibrate the models and to realistically assess the advantages and disadvantages of alternative designs. The aim of this publication is to evaluate the behavior of the authors’ alternative front suspension of a motorcycle in braking mode. To achieve this goal, a series of road tests were conducted on the same motorcycle equipped with a different type of front suspension. Both experiments were conducted with the same equipment using the same methodology. The results were processed in the Matlab environment. The obtained results can be used both to evaluate the designed suspension and to validate simulation models and optimize the suspension according to the same methodology. The results were processed in the Matlab environment. The obtained results can be used to validate simulation models and optimize the suspension
