Features
Powerful and fuel efficient 498 cc 4-Tec Rotax™ engine.

Easy to operate, super-smooth continuous variable transmission (CVT).

Convenient semi-step-through design provides an extra storage space right in front of the seat. An optional console bag can store maps, a cell phone, or a GPS system.

Visco-lok™, a progressively locking 4WD system, automatically delivers the correct amount of traction for every situation without compromising steering or maneuverability. It engages automatically without ever having to stop and push a button.

Easy maintenance just by removing the seat. Operators have access to spark plugs, battery, air filter, oil filter, dipstick, and carburetor.

Rear mounted radiator reduces the risk of mud compaction and brush damage. These radiators also blow heat behind and away from the operator.

Water-tight, 8 gal. (30 L) front storage area is ideal to store many types of cargo. It is large enough to fit your helmet while protecting it from the weather.

Unique sub-transmission with "park" feature anchors the vehicle while winching, trailering or stopping on slopes.

Large, 400W alternator is strong enough to power headlights as well as a winch, cell phone, GPS system, or additional plow/trail lights.

Cost: 8000 USD
