1. A riding vehicle comprising:
a gearbox having a clutch operated by actuation of a slave cylinder;
a hydraulic actuator having a master cylinder configured to generate a hydraulic pressure in a working fluid;
a hydraulic valve unit configured to control transmission of the hydraulic pressure generated by the master cylinder to the slave cylinder;
a master-side connecting pipeline configured to connect the master cylinder and the hydraulic valve unit; and
a slave-side connecting pipeline configured to connect the hydraulic valve unit and the slave cylinder,
wherein the hydraulic valve unit is disposed at a position closer to the slave cylinder than the hydraulic actuator,
wherein the master-side connecting pipeline is formed of a metal-based material, and the slave-side connecting pipeline is formed of a rubber-based material,
the riding vehicle further comprising an engine continuous with a front side of the gearbox, and
wherein the hydraulic valve unit is disposed behind a cylinder of the engine and above the gearbox.
