FRONT WHEEL SUSPENSION DEVICE OF SADDLE-RIDING TYPE VEHICLE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve compact layout of a handle and improve flexibility of the layout of the handle in a front wheel suspension device of a saddle-riding type vehicle in which the handle is connected with a front fork through a link member.SOLUTION: A front wheel suspension device 1 of a saddle-riding type vehicle includes: a front fork 10 supporting a front wheel 9 with its lower end part 12b; a steering member 25 which is rotatably supported by a vehicle body frame 2 and rotated around a steering axis line C1 in conjunction with the operation of a handle 20; and a link member 30 comprising an upper link 31, in which one end part is swingably connected with the steering member 25, and a lower link 32, in which an upper part is swingably connected with the other end part of the upper link 31 and a lower part is swingably connected with an upper end part of the front fork 10. Handle holding parts 21 are formed at both end parts of the handle 20 when viewed in a vehicle width direction. Each handle holding part 21 is disposed between the upper link 31 and the lower link 32 in a side surface view.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】ハンドルとフロントフォークとをリンク部材を介して連結した鞍乗り型車両の前輪懸架装置において、ハンドルのレイアウトの自由度を高めつつハンドルのレイアウトをコンパクトにする。【解決手段】下端部１２ｂで前輪９を支持するフロントフォーク１０と、車体フレーム２に回動可能に支持されると共に、ハンドル２０の操作に伴って操舵軸線Ｃ１の回りに回動される操舵部材２５と、一端部が操舵部材２５に揺動可能に接続される上リンク３１と、上部が上リンク３１の他端部に揺動可能に接続されると共に、下部がフロントフォーク１０の上端部に揺動可能に接続される下リンク３２と、によって構成されるリンク部材３０と、を備える鞍乗り型車両の前輪懸架装置１において、ハンドル２０の車幅方向両端部には、ハンドル把持部２１が形成され、ハンドル把持部２１は、側面視で上リンク３１と下リンク３２との間に配置される。【選択図】図１
