1. The sport ATVs are powerful and fast, with high dynamic properties and improved handling characteristics. However, there are no illusions - sports ATVs are not particularly located for the harsh Russian off-road - their ground clearance and cross-country ability are lower than those of "utilitarians" and tourist ATVs.
2. Touring ATVs With these “quads” you can conquer the impassable road and handle the tightest turns, while maintaining control, comfort and safety.
All-wheel drive, with a reduction gear, thanks to low-pressure wheels, they can freely ride on sand and snow slush, and due to the lower mass of the car than the “utilitarians”, they pick up speed faster. Tourist ATVs are made, sorry for the tautology, “for a tourist”: a roomy trunk, comfortable seats for the driver and passenger, a car steering wheel.
3. Utility Utility vehicles are often used as workhorses of the widest range: agricultural work, cargo transportation or snow removal, a tractor for cars, fishing and hunting trips.
These versatile ATVs can climb the steepest hills, ride off-road and rough terrain with ease. In addition, in ATVs of this type, you can replace the wheels with caterpillar tracks and attach a winch, which will expand the list of tasks of a utility ATV even more (at least even transport large loads). Utilitarians are distinguished by their greater weight compared to other types of ATVs (up to 400 kg), increased engine power, all-wheel drive and high cross-country ability.
Before you buy, it's important to decide what your ATV is for - and choose your type depending on the purpose of the ATV.
A hunter's or angler's ATV must have high ground clearance, high tread wheels and a winch. 4WD drive is optional. You can choose among the “utilitarians”, although for long trips to nature, tourist ones are also suitable, and for some cases, some sports ones. When choosing which ATV is best suited for hunting and fishing, you need to clearly understand the type and complexity of obstacles that you may encounter on the ground, hunters also need to be aware of the weight and size of the game (yes, a wild boar can not be mounted on every quadra). As for additional accessories, protection of the driver from dirt and the possibility of additional equipment of the ATV with a caterpillar drive will not interfere. If the good old huntsman Kuzmich from "Peculiarities of National Hunting / Fishing" had a worthy all-terrain vehicle, the number of tales told to the general would be significantly reduced.
If you are a pro, the choice is obvious - exclusively sports models. But for fans from time to time to ride with the breeze, many manufacturers produce utility ATVs, some of them are based on the engines of sports "quads".
Such an ATV is the best assistant at any household work - even at a construction site, even in the country. Among the "utilitarians" you can always choose the right one. The main thing is to have a winch and a towbar. The engine capacity for such a "workhorse" is 500 cubic meters. cm, however, if you plan to transport very large loads, it is better to choose a larger volume - 700-800 cubic meters. see
There is a wide selection of both utility and touring ATVs. The decisive factor in this case is one - this is the type of terrain. For a mountain bike, a tourist ATV is better, for everyone else - a utilitarian one. If you decide to climb into the most impassable wilderness, a winch will not be superfluous (well, and a map at the same time, but they are not included with ATVs).
Let's compare a couple of models that are worthy of "becoming your first". ATVs. So that everything is “on garlic” - they analyzed both the domestic and foreign segments.
Among domestic and more budgetary , we advise you to pay attention to the quadra from Russian Mechanics and Stels.

Both ATVs are "utility" and, as you can see, their characteristics are similar. But both of them have a couple of their own chips.
The STELS ATV 600 is equipped with the Italian dashboard Koso (a well-known manufacturer of electronics for all types of motorcycle equipment). It gives a perfectly readable image in various temperature conditions. For an ATV, operated all year round, just right. Reinforced brake hoses are used to increase the reliability of the brake system. For the same purpose, the "quad" is equipped with waterproof electrical wiring. All relays and fuses are placed in a moisture and dustproof box. The Stels ATV600 is inspired by the world famous Yamaha Grizzly ATV. Well, traveling on this ATV is quite comfortable together - not necessarily with an extreme comrade, you can also with your beloved woman. They know how to decorate an ATV - at least with their enthusiastic squeals.
PM 650-2 is also a double, tandem model. She has a two-level seat, so the passenger or passenger will see not only the back of the driver's head, but also get a good overview of the area. This snow and swamp vehicle has front and rear luggage platforms (carrying capacity - 40 and 80 kg) and two glove boxes (volume - 5 and 16 liters). It has improved footrests to keep them from slipping off the footpegs. Even up to your ears in water or mud, you will be able to comfortably overcome wetland obstacles, and not get stuck in them. In short, this summer you can safely take the unit, the second half, a tent, a bowler hat and go on vacation to Altai (do not forget about the tourist tax).
Popular and reliable brands among foreigners are Polaris and BRP.

The Sportsman Touring 570 is the industry's fastest all-wheel drive, so the manufacturer promises to conquer any corners and hills without problems. This "quad" claims to be completely universal: any track - alone or with a passenger, any difficult job done quickly and easily. It has the largest load capacity - 261 kg - and traction force - up to 555 kg, as well as the largest storage compartments of 24.6 liters, an integrated winch and snow plow attachment system. And do not forget about the excellent vinyl seats for all-weather use: the “fifth point” to sit out is no option.
BRP Outlander MAX 450 is the youngest representative in the Outlander lineup. "Sharpened" for outdoor activities, housework and off-road travel. Speaking of utilitarian ATV capabilities, the 2019 BRP Outlander 450 is capable of towing loads up to 590kg. The front cargo area has a load capacity of 54 kg, and the rear can accommodate up to 109 kg of cargo. The "chip" of this model is the frame design, which provides excellent handling and stability while driving through difficult areas.
For those who still find it difficult to decide on the model themselves.

And for those who have already chosen a model. Would you like to add a kangaroo? Or a gun case?
It's like choosing a sandwich at a restaurant and the "sandwich picker" asks if you want to add bacon? Or make double cheese? No, you can eat a sandwich without them, but it tastes better with them. “Tastier” - when the “quad” is equipped with “dopas”. No matter how unpretentious the ATV and its owner may be, life shows that one basic configuration is never enough. AT 9In 9% of cases, one or several accessories are purchased at once, which manufacturers do not initially include in the price, so as not to scare away buyers with an increased price tag.
Of course, you can buy an ATV without additional equipment, but such savings can hit the budget after the first off-road ride (the miser still pays twice - the elementary truth works here too). Accessories for all-terrain vehicles are very different, each brand has something of its own - protection of the bottom and levers from damage, a luggage box or wardrobe trunk - for active tourism and long trips out of town, a winch - to pull out a "quad" stuck in snow or mud .
Many owners of ATVs change the basic "rubber" and disks, install additional lighting and kengurins, buy a trailer for large loads. To increase the comfort of the driver and passengers: heated grips, a windshield, bags for the front platform, there are even gun cases for hunters.
