hello everyone!
can anybody help me figuring out how does the track width affects the dynamics of an ATV? I would be greatly obliged if you could tell me so referring to the tadpole geometry, i.e. the rear wheel track being shorter than the front wheel track. |

"Tadpole geometry" as you call it increases the oversteer gradient.
Vehicle dynamics books will explain this with equations...

What will be the appropriate swing arm length if track width is 52inches and centroid at 20inches above the ground.
