Claim:
A snowmobile comprising: a pair of skis attached to a front portion of the snowmobile; a handlebar arranged to control the direction of the skis; a link mechanism arranged to transfer a rotational movement of the handlebar; a conversion mechanism connected to the link mechanism and arranged to convert a movement of the link mechanism into a movement including a vector in a vehicle body width direction of the snowmobile; tie rods coupled to the conversion mechanism and arranged to transfer the movement of the conversion mechanism to the skis; and a stopper mechanism provided between the tie rods and the link mechanism to regulate an external force applied from the skis; wherein the stopper mechanism includes a main arm pivot connecting the link mechanism to the tie rods, and a secondary arm pivot spaced from the main arm pivot by a predetermined distance such that inner surfaces of the main arm pivot and the secondary arm pivot contact each other so as to restrict a rotational movement of the main arm pivot.
