Because it depends on velocity, not on mass.

Don't complicate,
Imagine your driving a bike in circular path.
Now imagine your driving a cycle in circular path.
The mass of bike is more than mass of cycle but both of them incline in certain angle.

Please explain me Gyroscopic principle.

Angle of inclination also called as angle of banking which is given by θ- = tanθ-^(-1)/(v^2/rg) which shows that angle of banking is independent of mass.

Angle of inclination of vehicle increases if speed increases and decreases if speed decreases. So it depends on the speed of vehicle not mass.

When vehicle moves in a circular path, a gyroscopic effect comes into action on the vehicle which try to make inner side of wheels up and try to rotate the car. But the gyroscopic effect depends upon speed of vehicle so the inclination will also depends upon the speed of vehicle.

Actually there is no need to consider mass into account when body rotates in circular path because when it rotates in circular path the concentration of mass is at the centre of the rotating body. Only tangential force is come into account.

We have the relation that tan@=v2/rg.

Then which one depends to angle of inclination of vehicle motion in circular path.

Angle of inclination is depends upon masses because in centrifugal forces acts upon the vehicle.
