Ramp Breakover Angle

This is a measure of a vehicle's ability to drive over a sharp ridge or ramp without touching its underside. The "included" angle measures the angle inside the ramp; the "exluded" angle measures the combined angles outside the ramp to the horizontal. A short-wheelbase vehicle with a high ground clearance and large tires will have the best (highest) ramp breakover angle.
