A one-piece double-step offset axle with an offset center section located between two eccentric steps is disclosed. The offset center section locates and supports the front wheel and may be adjusted to a plurality of locations relative to the forks by rotating the axle in the fork axle housings before the axle pinch bolts or nuts are tightened. The axle facilitates adjustments to the front wheel location and allows riders, mechanics, and designers to alter the chassis or frame geometry, and thus the manner, in which any given motorcycle or bicycle steers and handles according to personal preference.
