A guard assembly is provided for use with a track assembly for a vehicle. The guard assembly includes a guard body having a rigid portion made of a first polymeric material and a flexible portion made of a second polymeric material different from the first polymeric material. The first polymeric material has a greater modulus of elasticity than the second polymeric material. A vehicle including a guard assembly, namely including a guard body is also contemplated.

A straddled vehicle, including left and right seat frames respectively located leftward and rightward of a vehicle center plane with respect to a rear-to-front direction, a cross member configured to connect the left and right seat frames, a seat located above the left and right seat frames and the cross member, a rear fender, and a position regulator joining the seat with the rear fender to regulate upward movement of the seat. The seat includes a first load transmitting portion and a first horizontal position determining portion. The cross member includes a load receiver configured to receive a load of the seat, and a second horizontal position determining portion configured to restrict movement of the seat in a substantially horizontal direction. The position regulator includes an elastic member supported by the seat, a coupling portion supported by the elastic member, and a fastening portion configured to fasten the coupling portion to the rear fender.

A bicycle frame assembly including a seat tube having first and second end portions (wherein the seat tube second end portion includes a bend and terminates in a first open end facing a first direction), a down tube having first and second end portions (wherein the down tube first end portion is mounted to the seat tube first end portion, and the down tube second end portion includes a bend and terminates in a second open end facing a second direction opposite to the first direction), and a top tube having first and second end portions (wherein the top tube first end portion is mounted to the seat tube second end portion and terminates in a third open end facing the first direction, and the top tube second end portion is mounted to the down tube second end portion and terminates in a fourth open end facing the second direction).

A fender for straddled vehicles according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a base made of a crystalline resin and disposed above a wheel, and a film which is in close contact with the back side of the base facing the wheel. The hardness of the surface of the base is lower than the hardness of the interior of the base. The hardness of the film is higher than the hardness of the surface of the base.

One embodiment provides a rear portion structure of a saddle-ride type vehicle. The structure includes: seat frames extending rearward and upward from a main frame; a riding seat supported on the seat frames; and a rear cowl covering the seat frames. The rear cowl is formed such that an upper cowl and a lower cowl are vertically assembled to each other by a vertical connecting portion. An upper connecting portion is formed on the upper cowl to extend over a lateral width of the upper cowl, a lower connecting portion is formed on the lower cowl to extend over a lateral width of the lower cowl, and each of them has a flat surface portion. An angle made by the flat surface portions is set to an acute angle.

One embodiment provides a saddle-ride type vehicle. The vehicle includes a main frame; a drive source supported by a lower side of the main frame; an energy storing part supported by an upper side of the main frame; a front wheel steerably supported via a front fork mounted on a front side of the main frame; a rear wheel supported via a swing arm mounted on a rear side of the main frame and configured to be driven by the drive source; and seat frames disposed on the rear side of the main frame to support a riding seat. A braking control device is disposed within a lateral width between the seat frames, and is supported by a rear fender supported by the seat frame via a vibration control member. And, an inertia measuring device is supported by the braking control device.

A reservoir tank mounting section includes a reservoir tank configured to store a hydraulic fluid of a brake apparatus, and an auxiliary machine case. The auxiliary machine case has a tank supporting section configured to hold the reservoir tank. The tank supporting section is constituted by a recessed section in which an outer surface of the auxiliary machine case is recessed inward. The tank supporting section is formed substantially along an outer surface shape of the reservoir tank and has an outer surface covering wall configured to cover an outer surface of the reservoir tank.

The invention relates to a foldable bicycle (10) with a first part of the frame (1) that carries a first wheel (11) and a crank-drive and a second part of a frame (2) that carries a crank-drive driven second wheel (12), wherein the first part of the frame (1) and the second part (2) are connected to each other by a swivel connection (4) through which the second wheel (12) that is fastened to the second part of the frame (2) is swiveled by a swivel movement in the direction of the first wheel (11) in the same direction as the pedal axle (A), including the fender (3) belonging to the second wheel (12). In order to also be able to roll the bicycle in a folded state, the fender (3) consists of a first fender part (3a) and a second fender part (3b), wherein the first fender part (3a) is attached to the second part of the frame (2) and the second fender part (3b) is movably mounted relative to the first fender part (3a).
