Provided is a saddle-ride type four-wheeled vehicle capable of ensuring a sufficient clearance between a shock absorber and a front rod of an upper arm supporting front wheels, and also achieving satisfactory frame strength. The body frame of the saddle-ride type four-wheeled vehicle includes a lower frame extending below an engine to the rear of the vehicle. The body frame includes a front frame which is made of aluminum or aluminum alloy and located above the lower frame. In the front frame, pairs of arm-supporting portions which are spaced away from each other in a front-rear direction and support the front rods and a rear rods of the upper arms, and shock-absorber-supporting portions which are situated above the arm-supporting portions and support upper ends of the shock absorbers, are formed. The front frame has, at a forefront of the front frame, an extending portion extending obliquely upward and rearward from a lower end of the extending portion connected to the lower frame. In the extending portion, front arm-supporting portions and the shock-absorber-supporting portions are formed.
