The thesis presents the development process of a test rig designed for testing suspension systems of two-wheeled vehicles. In the thesis a theoretical concept of the test rig was developed. The rig enables the mesurement of suspension characteristics while enabling the user to ride the vehicle. The rig can simulate driving on different surface profiles, which allows the user to evaluate the effects of suspension setting adjustments in a controlled
environment. The test bench is designed to accommodate two wheeled vehicles of different frame and wheel sizes. It is constructed to allow quick and easy adjustments and future updates, upgrades and changes to the system. The rigs mechanical part was designed in a 3D model that includes all major mechanical components and their connections. The
components of the measuring and control system were also defined. As a part of the 3D model an assembly drawing was also created.
