A snowmobile provided with skis and being steerable by a steering shaft,
and being provided with a silencer on the front side of an engine. The
steering shaft passes between the engine and the silencer and overlaps
the silencer in side view. Flat step floors for a rider's feet are
provided on lateral sides of a lower portion of a seat. Step bars for
enabling positioning of the rider's feet are provided at front portions
of the step floors. The step bars are each provided on the rear side
relative to the step floor tip end and within 350 mm from a track belt
drive shaft which is provided on the rear side of the engine. The
resulting configuration of the snowmobile makes it possible to lay out
the silencer close to the engine, affords excellent turning performance,
and provides step floors for good foot holding properties.
