A system enables two vehicles to tilt at different angles, wherein one of the vehicles includes a supporting end and the other vehicle includes a supported end, where the vehicle having the supporting end and the vehicle having the supported end are associated with a bogey. A supported ring is used with the supported end of the vehicle in such a manner that rotation is possible between the supported ring and the vehicle having the supported end.
