PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate air-bleeding of a hydraulic master cylinder. SOLUTION: A synchronizing brake device for a vehicle includes a first brake 51, a second brake 52, a synchronizing brake operator 53 that synchronizes and operates the first and second brakes 51, 52, an equalizer 75 that distributes the control force of the synchronizing brake operator 53 to the first brake 51 and the second brake 52, the hydraulic master cylinder 72 that generates hydraulic pressure for operating the first brake 51, and a first brake control force transmitting means (lever mechanism) 79 which transmits control force from the equalizer 75 to the hydraulic master cylinder 72 and which is configured by a synchronizing member (synchronizing rotation lever) 74 operated by the equalizer 75 and a knocker 78 that presses the hydraulic master cylinder 72 by the operation of the synchronizing member 74. The knocker 78 includes a knocker operator 98 that can press the hydraulic master cylinder 72 by being directly operated without depending upon the synchronizing member 74.
