Weight transfer and load transfer are two expressions used somewhat confusingly to describe two distinct effects:[1]
In the automobile industry, weight transfer customarily refers to the change in load borne by different wheels during acceleration.[2] This would be more properly referred to as load transfer,[1][3] and that is the expression used in the motorcycle industry,[4][5] while weight transfer on motorcycles, to a lesser extent on automobiles, and cargo movement on either is due to a change in the CoM location relative to the wheels. This article uses this latter pair of definitions.
