Abstract:
A vehicle includes a duct structure configured to take in air from outside; an air cleaner including an air filter configured to clean the air guided to the air cleaner through the duct structure; a throttle device including a throttle valve for controlling a flow rate of the air guided to the throttle device through the air cleaner; and an engine including an intake port configured to suction the air guided to the engine through the throttle device; the duct structure including: a main inlet configured to take in air therethrough from outside by utilizing a ram pressure; a main passage extending from the main inlet to the air filter; a sub-inlet configured to take in air therethrough from outside; and a joint section located upstream of the air filter, the air flowing from the sub-inlet being joined to the air in the main passage, at the joint section.
