Definition of «breakover»

Breakover refers to the angle at which a vehicle's wheels are positioned when they leave the ground, during an obstacle or ramp. It is usually measured in degrees and can affect how well the vehicle clears the obstacle or ramp. A higher breakover angle means that the vehicle will be able to clear larger obstacles, while a lower breakover angle may result in the vehicle bottoming out on the obstacle or ramp.
