Aprilia files patent for new anti-dive fork tech. Sounds interesting and it might actually work pretty well! https://www.visordown.com/news/general/aprilia-file-patent-innovative-anti-dive-forks?amp
Without trying it, who knows. But I can think of times when this design would be a problem. Turns that are high speed but require a little braking on entry to "set the front" by diving a little otherwise without that front end compressed on turn in, you won't finish the corner. Another is what happens when the initial hard braking is on bumps? Front end goes airborne? Just thinking out loud here. A lot times the front end needs compression on turn-in, not sure if this system allows for enough. Maybe it's tuneable?
Is imagine it is tunable since it's a progressive application of force. Maybe change the "ramp rate" of the floating plate?
It's linkage. The operation can be linear, progressive, digressive, so, yes, tuneable. The purpose of floating link rear brakes, as found on many antique/vintage/classic motorcycles was specifically geared towards removing the suspension's action from acting on a linear braking force. Applying these principles to the front-end is brilliant, tho' some “springer” dudes would say “We've been doing that all along.”
