Abstract
An all-terrain vehicle (“ATV”) a frame extending along a longitudinal centerline of the ATV. Additionally, the ATV includes a plurality of ground engaging members operably coupled to the frame which includes a first ground-engaging member and a second ground-engaging member positioned on a first side of the longitudinal centerline and a third ground-ground engaging member and a fourth ground-engaging member positioned on a second side of the longitudinal centerline. The ATV further includes a straddle seat supported by the frame and configured to support an operator, an engine supported by the frame, and an engine air inlet fluidly coupled to the engine and positioned forward of the straddle seat.
