Abstract
A steering wheel with an air bag unit includes spoke cores each of which is formed by die casting and is mounted at a distal end portion of the spoke portion around a ring core so as to separate the ring core into ring core segments. A front part of the distal end portion of each of two spoke cores, which support the front ring core segment having the largest span, has a vertical thickness larger than a thickness of the distal end portion in a radial direction of the steering wheel.
