The all-terrain vehicle of claim 13, characterized in that the second end of the upper control arm is pivotally connected to the axle bracket by a second upper pivot axis that is parallel to and at a distance C from the longitudinal central symmetry plane of the all-terrain vehicle, and the second lower front pivot axis or the second lower rear pivot axis is at a distance D from the longitudinal central symmetry plane of the all-terrain vehicle, wherein C is less than or equal to D.

18. The all-terrain vehicle of claim 17, characterized in that an angle β between a plane defined by the second upper pivot axis and the second lower front pivot axis or the second lower rear pivot axis and a longitudinal center symmetry plane of the all-terrain vehicle is β, wherein β is 0 ≦ 5 degrees.
