Abstract: A saddle-ride vehicle that enables an improvement in output performance and compact arrangement of an exhaust pipe is provided. The saddle-ride vehicle includes a pair of exhaust pipes extending downward from an engine. One of the pair of exhaust pipes on the left and right sides is a first exhaust pipe, and the other is a second exhaust pipe. The first exhaust pipe includes an upstream bent portion that bends toward the second exhaust pipe. The saddle-ride vehicle also includes a merging portion where the upstream bent portion and the second exhaust pipe merge, on the other side of the left and right sides, and includes a third exhaust pipe extending from the merging portion. A downstream portion of the upstream bent portion merges with the second exhaust pipe in a state of being aligned with the second exhaust pipe in a vehicle width direction and extending downward along the second exhaust pipe. The merging portion includes a downstream bent portion that bends toward one of the left and right sides from a connection point between the upstream bent portion and the second exhaust pipe, a first communication portion that allows the upstream bent portion and the second exhaust pipe to communicate with each other upstream of the downstream bent portion, and a second communication portion that allows the upstream bent portion and the third exhaust pipe to communicate with each other downstream of the downstream bent portion, and has a smaller diameter than those of the downstream bent portion and the second exhaust pipe.
