What Is Single Cradle Frame in Bike?


A single cradle frame or single downtube frame resembles the framework of a bicycle. It has a unique steel tube that goes down to support the engine for a single cradle chassis. It also has a simple and cost-effective structure. It comprises steel tubes welded together to form a structure that holds the various components of the motorcycle. In some cases, the engine is attached to the chassis and works with it, bearing some of the stress. A single cradle chassis, in most cases, would mention whether the engine is a stressed member of the frame or not.
