An object is to improve mountability of a brake system to a straddle-type vehicle while considering safety.

In a brake system, a mechanism portion includes a friction applying device which brakes a wheel of a straddle-type vehicle with a frictional force corresponding to a movement of an operator, an operator movement sensor which detects the movement of the operator, and an actuator which is unitized with the friction applying device. During normal braking, a control unit controls an output of the actuator based on a detection result of the operator movement sensor to change the frictional force applied to the wheel by the friction applying device. Further, when the actuator is in a non-energized state, the friction applying device applies a frictional force to the wheel.

A master cylinder device 38 for a rear wheel brake of a motorcycle includes a master cylinder 35 and a reserve tank 36. The cylinder 35 discharges brake fluid when a piston thereof is pushed by depression of a brake pedal 40. The reserve tank is integrally formed with a cylinder body 35a of the master cylinder 35. A contour 60 of a rear wheel side of the master cylinder device 38 extending continuously from a bottom end of the master cylinder body 35a in a vertical direction to an upper end of the reserve tank 36 in the vertical direction is linearly formed to be oriented obliquely rearward and upward in a vehicle side view.
