Upright is an important part of All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) which links suspension, steering, and braking system. Suspension, steering, and braking systems are mounted over the upright. Therefore, upright should have sufficient strength under various loading conditions. Uprights used in commercial vehicles are too heavy and traditionally designed to fulfill the need. When vehicle becomes off-road or ATV, upright should have optimized design and satisfy all aspects of design and performance. In this article we proposed a basic design of upright in terms of optimize weight, strength, and size of upright. The CAD model of upright is prepared in PRO-E 4.0 and the selected design is analyzed in workbench module of ANSYS12.1. Robustness of the proposed optimized design of upright is validated by using different loading conditions of ATV.
