Bomber Outlander Max 400

It’s not easy to answer, first you need to know why you need such an ATV. For the occasional party in the woods nearby, it probably makes sense to buy one of the cheaper models, but for serious use and true fans of these increasingly numerous quads, it's the same with other purchases. A little money, a little music - a lot of money, more music. In other words, what does the 250 grand deduction mean for the Outlander MAX compared to the base version? In fact, a lot.

The shorter-wheelbase base is more frisky and is officially designed for only one passenger. So it will be at home in nature, in the city and on the roads. Yes, the Bombardier Outlander can be registered and used on the road with a driver's license and a motorcycle helmet on. The longer "maxi" is more stable at high speeds and side-slips in corners. Two people can ride it - a driver and a passenger! It's also one of the few mid-range ATVs that allows it.

He plays well on the pitch, and, believe me, we doubted several times whether he will overcome the next obstacle, but he easily overcame it. Fallen logs, stones rise, fall. ... With all-wheel drive turned on, at least one wheel was enough to grab the ground and jump over the obstacle! In really extreme circumstances, when there was a danger of the car slipping or overturning, we reduced the speed using the gearbox. SUVs (cars) can hide when we talk about off-roading through our forests.

Outlander is an extremely unpretentious vehicle. The automatic transmission works well and doesn't burden the driver with questions like "Am I in the right gear on this slope or do I need to downshift maybe one down" and the like.

On top of that, it came in handy on a regular asphalt road, where it is best to drive it up to 90 km / h.
