1. A saddled vehicle (1) comprising:
a front wheel braking component (32) that applies a braking force from a front wheel brake modulator (70) to a front wheel (WE) in response to an operation of an operating element (5, 39); and
a rear wheel braking component (34) that applies a braking force from a rear wheel brake modulator (71) to a rear wheel (WR),
the saddled vehicle (1) being configured to operate the front wheel braking component (32) and the rear wheel braking component (34) in an interlocking manner in response to an operation of the single operating element (5, 39), wherein
in response to the operation of the operating element (5), the front wheel braking component (32) first starts operating, and thereafter, when a first condition is satisfied in which a braking force of the front wheel (WF) reaches a first front-wheel-braking force (P1), only a rear wheel braking force is increased in accordance with an operation amount of the operating element (5, 39), and after a lapse of a predetermined time period (T1) from when the first condition is satisfied, a distribution of the front wheel braking force is increased within a range of a target braking force of an entire vehicle.
