What is indicated by Forwards Pitch?

Forwards pitch indicates that the weight of the vehicle shifts to the front tires. This typically happens during deceleration or braking when the front of the vehicle dips, resulting in increased weight on the front tires. This weight transfer is critical for maintaining optimal traction and control during braking, as it allows the front tires more grip on the road surface, aiding in stopping performance and steering response. In contrast, a rearward weight shift, equal weight distribution, or lateral weight transfer does not accurately describe the mechanics involved in a forwards pitch scenario. Understanding this concept is vital for drivers as it influences handling characteristics during various driving conditions.
