Abstract
A leaning vehicle has a frame pivotally connected to a shock tower, at least one biasing member connected to the frame, front left and right suspension assemblies each having a shock absorber connected to the shock tower, two front ground engaging members, a rear suspension assembly, and a rear ground engaging member. The at least one biasing member applies a first force to the shock tower when the frame has pivoted relative to the shock tower. When the frame pivots left, a force is transferred to the front left ground engaging member by the left shock absorber to apply a force having a downward component to the front left ground engaging member. When the frame pivots right, a force is transferred to the front right ground engaging member by the right shock absorber to apply a force having a downward component to the front right ground engaging member.
