Abstract
A straddle-type vehicle including left and right front wheels effectively prevents deterioration of a travel feeling caused by vibrations occurring in the left and right front wheels. The straddle-type vehicle includes a body frame, left and right front wheels, a link mechanism configured to connect the left and right front wheels with the body frame, a shock absorber configured to damp vibrations in the same phase occurring in the left and right front wheels, and a damper configured to damp vibrations in opposite phases occurring in the left and right front wheels. The damper is configured such that its damping force increases at least in a certain frequency range as the frequency of the vibrations in the opposite phases increases.
