A vehicle includes a frame configured to pivot relative to a support surface through both positive and negative roll angles and a wheel support coupled to the frame. The wheel support includes an axle mounting portion. An axle defining an axis of rotation is mounted to the wheel support at the axle mounting portion. A downforce generating system is mounted to the wheel support between the frame and the axle mounting portion. The downforce generating system includes a wing support mounted to the wheel support and a downforce generating wing pivotally mounted to the wing support. The downforce generating wing includes an aerodynamic surface having a leading edge. The downforce generating system is configured to maintain a substantially horizontal orientation of the leading edge relative to the support surface as the frame pivots between the positive and the negative roll angles.
