A suspensionincludes a suspension armthat couples a knuckleto a vehicle body frame, and a shock absorberthat is attached to the suspension arm. The suspension armincludes a lower armand an upper armlocated higher than the lower arm. The upper armhas a front armand a rear armlocated at the rear with respect to the front arm. A lower endof the shock absorberis attached to one of the front armor the rear arm

Suspension and off-road vehicle

A suspensionincludes a suspension armthat couples a knuckleto a vehicle body frameand swings relative to the vehicle body frame. The suspension armhas a curveto avoid contact with other components. The curveis positioned closer to the vehicle body framewith respect to the center of the suspension armin a longitudinal direction thereof.

A suspension includes a trailing arm that is swingably attached to a vehicle frame of a utility vehicle and carries a wheel, and a shock absorber that connects the trailing arm and the vehicle frame. A first end, which is an end of the shock absorber, is attached to a side surface of the trailing arm facing inside in a width direction of the vehicle.

A saddle-riding vehicle includes a radiator in front of an engine of the saddle-riding vehicle and on one lateral side of the vehicle in a vehicle widthwise direction with respect to a center line in the vehicle widthwise direction. The radiator includes: a radiator body that allows coolant of the engine to flow through the radiator body; a radiator fan at a rear face of the radiator body; and a fan cover that covers the radiator fan from a rear of the radiator fan to guide exhaust air from the radiator to the one lateral side in the vehicle widthwise direction.

Saddle-riding vehicle

A secondary air introduction device is configured to supply air into an exhaust passage of an engine to combust unburned gas contained in exhaust gas. The secondary air introduction device includes: an air introduction passage configured to introduce air into the exhaust passage; and a secondary air valve configured to be attached to an outer surface of a cylinder head of the engine and to control opening and closing of the air introduction passage. The secondary air valve is configured to be attached to an outer lateral surface of the cylinder head on one side in an axial direction of a crankshaft, and the secondary air valve includes an air introduction inlet formed in a position opposite to the outer lateral surface of the cylinder head in the axial direction of the crankshaft.
