Abstract

A vehicle includes a body frame that leans, two front wheels, a link mechanism, and a hydraulic unit. The link mechanism includes cross members and is supported on a link support portion of the body frame. The hydraulic unit is smaller than a cross member movable area where the cross members move relative to the body frame as seen from the direction of middle axes of the cross members. The hydraulic unit overlaps at least a portion of the cross member movable area and at least a portion of external vehicle components as seen from the direction of the middle axes and between the cross member movable area and the external vehicle components in relation to the direction of the middle axes. The hydraulic unit is supported on the link support portion of the body frame that supports the link mechanism.
