The invention relates to a three- or four-wheel tilting motor vehicle, and in particular to a tilt locking system including an interconnecting element (110) which connects two tilting wheels (10) and which comprises a first portion (111) and a second portion (112) which are rotatable and opposed to each other. Such portions (111, 112) are connected so as to rotate in opposite directions about a longitudinal axis. The tilt locking system comprises hinging means which connect said portions (111, 112) of said interconnecting element to two tilting parts (81, 82) of said front or rear axle, which are both subjected to tilting movements of said wheels (10). The tilt locking system further comprises drive means adapted to transform a tilting motion of said wheels (10) into a rotating motion of said portions (111, 112) of said interconnecting element (110) so that they rotate in opposite directions about said longitudinal axis (X) in the presence of tilting movements of said wheels (10). In accordance with the invention, the hinging means and the drive means respectively comprise a first connecting rod (101 ) and a second connecting rod (201 ), where the first connecting rod (101 ) is connected to a respective tilting part (81, 82) and to a respective portion (111, 112) of said interconnecting element (110), while said second connecting rod (201 ) is connected to said first connecting rod (101 ) and to a respective portion (111, 112) of said interconnecting element (110) so as to cause a rotation of said corresponding portion (111, 112) of said interconnecting element (110) about said longitudinal axis (X) upon a tilting movement of said first connecting rod (101).
