An off-road vehicle has a frame, at least four wheels, a left seat and a right seat disposed in a side-by-side configuration, a steering assembly, an engine having an upper portion, and a console mounted between the left seat and the right seat. The console covers at least the upper portion of the engine. The console includes side walls and an upper portion connected to the side walls to define a central cooling tunnel. The central cooling tunnel includes a frontal opening and a rear opening allowing air flow through the central cooling tunnel from the frontal opening to the rear opening.

An off-road vehicle has a frame, at least four wheels, two seats mounted laterally beside each other on the frame, a steering assembly, and engine and a cargo box mounted to the frame rearwardly of the seats. Each seat has a seat base and a backrest. The cargo box has a front wall, a pair of side walls extending from the front wall, and a floor. The front wall is disposed rearward of at least a portion of the seats. At least one portion of the floor is adjacent to the front wall. The at least one portion of the floor is removable from a remainder of the cargo box.

An off-road vehicle has a frame, at least four wheels, a seat, a steering assembly, an engine, and a cargo box pivotally mounted to the frame rearwardly of the seat. The cargo box includes: a cargo box body having a front wall, a pair of side walls, a lower floor, and an opened rear side; an upper floor supported inside the cargo box body above the lower floor; an upper tailgate for selectively closing an upper opened portion of the opened rear side; a lower cargo space defined at least in part between the front wall, the pair of side walls, the lower floor, and the upper floor; and an upper cargo space defined between the front wall, the pair of side walls, the upper floor, and the upper tailgate when the upper tailgate closes the upper opened portion of the opened rear side.

An off-road vehicle is disclosed having a frame (), at least four wheels () suspended from the frame (), a left seat (B), a right seat (A), an engine () mounted to a middle portion () of the frame (), and a console () mounted on the middle portion of the frame () laterally between the left seat (B) and the right seat (B). The console () covers the upper portion of the engine () and defines a central cooling tunnel () extending forwardly and rearwardly of the engine () which tunnels air flow around the engine () for cooling the later. The off-road vehicle also features a passageway in front of the central cooling tunnel, and a fan aligned with the passageway to increase air flow through the central cooling tunnel () when required.

An off-road vehicle has a frame, at least four wheels, each including a tire, a seat, a steering assembly, an engine, and a cargo box pivotally mounted to the frame rearwardly of the seat. The cargo box includes a cargo box body having a front wall, a pair of side walls extending from the front wall, a first floor connected to a lower end of the front and the pair of side walls, and an at least partially opened rear side. A second floor is supported inside the cargo box body above the first floor. At least one tailgate selectively closes the at least partially opened rear side.

An all-terrain vehicle comprising a rear platform between the rear wheels providing standing room and access to the straddle seat of the all-terrain vehicle. The all-terrain vehicle may also featuring a rear passageway and a side passageway for the rider of the all-terrain vehicle to access to the straddle seat. The all-terrain vehicle also features rear wheel track which is smaller than the front wheel track.

A snowmobile is propelled by an endless track that is operatively connected to the snowmobile's engine by two drive sprockets. Each drive sprocket includes one set of external teeth and two sets of internal teeth that engage three corresponding sets of track teeth formed on the track. Alignment cleats are mounted on the inside of each of one of the sets of track teeth. During low-load operation, contact between the cleats (and the track teeth on which the cleats are mounted) is minimized or eliminated, which reduces or eliminates noise caused by collisions between the metal sprocket and the metal cleats. During higher load operation, the track deforms such that the set of external sprocket teeth engage the cleats and associated set of track teeth.
