Despite all the difficulties of the present moment, today Russians are very willing to buy equipment for outdoor activities. Some experts attribute this to the fact that many citizens for obvious reasons refuse to buy a new car and invest the accumulated funds in the same ATVs. However, not everyone is ready to pay one and a half or two “lyamas” for a branded product, especially when it comes to the first “quad”. Especially if the device is not needed for serious trophy raids, but for simple country fun. And let’s just say right away: there are budget options.
The terms of the problem are simple: I have never ridden an ATV, the community of quadro brothers is not interested, the equipment is needed for family rides, and go to the nearest reservoir for a swim. I’m not going to get involved in the business of the collective farm: clearing snow, making hay, etc. No swamps and targeted attacks on mud pits.
However, light off-road dirt roads and bumpy forest paths are mandatory to pass. Traveling beyond distant horizons is not supposed, except to go to the nearest store and visit the neighbors in the dacha village, not on foot. The approximate budget for the purchase of a “quadric” is from 300 to 500 thousand rubles.
We consider only new ATVs and manufacturers that have managed to acquire more or less respected dealers in Russia with their showrooms, where you can physically run in case of technical problems and make a warranty claim. According to the terms of the “task”, it is not at all necessary to look in the direction of all-wheel drive off-road vehicles, it is even harmful. Monodrive and a 4T engine with a volume of 200-400 “cubes” – that’s what is needed.
IRBIS ATV 250
Selling price 249 thousand rubles recommended by the manufacturer. The ATV, according to representatives of the Irbis Motors company, is made in Russia. True, what exactly was produced on the territory of the Russian Federation is not specified, but the 4-stroke engine is definitely Chinese.
One cylinder with a working volume of 229 cm3. Peak capacity 15.2 litres. Of. at 7000 rpm. Maximum “torque” 17Nm at 5000 rpm. Air cooling. The drive system is a carburettor. The torque is transmitted to the rear solid axle via a reinforced chain. Transmission 4-speed manual with reverse. The machine is quite suitable for beginners.
For those who really want to learn how to drive a four-wheeled “monster” and feel what it is in all colors. A bonus “comes” a guarantee for a year or 1000 km of running. Together with the ATV, a PSM (passport of a self-propelled vehicle) is also awarded: the “iron cone” can be easily registered with the Gostekhnadzor.
LinhaiYamaha D200
Price – 275,000 ₽ Single-cylinder engine 4T with a capacity of 200 cm3, air-oil cooling. Fuel system – carburetor. The manufacturer claims a capacity of 22 “horses”, but if we divide by two, we will not be critically mistaken. Transmission – variator. There is no “lower”, there is a reverse. The promised maximum speed is 60 km/h, which is unlikely. Nevertheless, the device will cope with the stated conditions of our “task”. Without fanaticism, of course, but a light ride along field and forest paths will suffice.
The stated warranty is up to 1 year, but let’s be realistic. There will be problems with qualified repairs and spare parts. Because the dealer network is weak, and the sales strategy, we sell by gravity and push the market by conscious availability. Nuance: the indicated rice for Linhai Yamaha D200 is without PSM.
So, if you meet a Gostekhnadzor inspector outside your private lawn or sports field, a fine of 500 rubles is guaranteed. Provided you have the tractor driver’s “xiva” in your pocket. Without it – removal from management, a protocol for a fine of 5-15 thousand rubles and “hello” a penalty area with inevitable subsequent costs.
Loncin TRV350 Pro
Pure “China” for 454 thousand rubles. 4T injection engine. One cylinder with a capacity of 271 two-valve “cubes”. Liquid cooling. Drive to the rear solid shaft with cardan shaft through the swingarm tube. Power – 22.8 liters. Of. at 7000 rpm, maximum torque – 25.5 Nm at 5500 rpm. Fuel AI-95. The capacity of the fuel tank is 14 litres. CVT and gearbox with L/H/N/R modes. The presence of a low gear, as it were, indicates that the quadric is not as simple as it may seem visually.
Indeed, in terms of technical characteristics, the TRV350 Pro is close to the segment of all-wheel drive ATVs. So with our stated operating conditions, it will handle a good margin. But one must understand that in the carpet swamps and in the mud baths in the forest, he will be a little cramped, to say the least. Sat, in the presence of a national license plate and OSAGO for the model, access to the public road is open.
… And one more important point. Some ATV salesmen, trying to manipulate the inexperienced buyer, often refer to single-wheel drive ATVs as “teenagers.” For example, this is a “toy” for children, but adult uncles ride on “scrap” with four-wheel drive. Traders lie.
Adult uncles also race in rally raids such as Dakar, Silk Way and other serious competitions on mono-drive quadrics. Thus, the choice of an all-terrain vehicle model for a beginner is not determined by a classification invented by sellers or a manufacturer, but by a set of personal wishes. In our case, a model with a motor drive on the rear wheels is enough for the eyes: both in terms of goals and budget.
