Abstract

A cushion mounting structure of a saddle-ride vehicle with a cushion unit having an elongated stroke length for absorbing an impact from a wheel. The structure includes an upper and a lower arm constituting a suspension arm. The arms are tiltably connected to left and right portions of a support frame, the rear wheels being supported on the suspension arm. One end of a cushion unit is supported on the vehicle body frame, while the other end is supported on an upper arm by a link member and a push rod. The first end of the cushion unit is positioned inside the vehicle body frame in the vehicle body width direction, the second end of the cushion unit is positioned outside the vehicle body frame in a width direction, and an axis of the cushion unit extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle while intersecting the vehicle body frame.
