The steering wheel comprises a boss mounted to a steering shaft, an annular-shaped grip frame which the driver gripped to steer the vehicle, and a base frame provided with the boss. A plurality of spoke frames extend from the grip frame toward the base frame. The plurality of spoke frames comprise first, second and third spoke frames. The first and second spoke frames are connected directly to the base frame. A connection member connects the third spoke frame and the base frame to each other.
