An ATV (2, 702) is disclosed having a frame (10, 710), a seat (22, 722) supported by the frame, front (12, 712) and rear (14, 714) wheels supporting the frame, a drivetrain (20, 720) supported by the frame, and an operator's compartment (8, 708) extending generally between the seat and a front enclosure (500, 740). The front enclosure extends forwardly to a position proximate an axial centerline of the front wheels. Front lower alignment arms (280, 812) have an inner end and an outer end. Front struts (290, 810) have a shock absorber and a hub portion, where the front struts are coupled to the front lower alignment arms at a lower end of the front struts and the frame at an upper end. A steering mechanism (310, 816) is positioned forward of the axial centerline of the front wheels and is coupled to the front struts.
