Hi guys as usually its me just a voice over your are watching review machines and today
we’ve again got for the review kind a unique machine!
I don’t want to run ahead, but I should say now, we were shocked by this thing.
And now I’ll tell you why!
Let’s go!
Well, now we are to go for an exciting trip, and during the trip we will make various interesting
tests of the machine.
And I’d like to repeat, we were greatly impressed by one moment.
But we will get to this moment later, and now get comfortable my friends and lets have
a closer look at this really unique machine!
It is called Rostin BKR and I should say it stands out among the other similar machines.
It is too large for a motorsled but too small for a tracked ATV.
Its something between.
But according to the documents it is still a motorsled, so it doesn’t require to be
registered or driver’s license.
At least in our country.
But unlike al the motorlsleds this machine is all seasonal.
It can be used instead of a quad in summer and instead of a sled in winter!
There are many other exciting features, so lets find out how it is built.
Actually we have the design of a big motorsled, but with a bunch of interesting solutions.
First of all its really big and it has a double track.
Its lengths is 1650 mm, the widths is 940, the width of each track is 220 mm.
The tracks are specially designed for this machine.
They have an aggressive lugs and advanced suspension system and as we can see it really
works.
And this one is a kind a secret weapon, but we’ll see it in practice a bit later.
One of the crucial features of the machine, that its body is made of a special durable
plastic that is not afraid of any freeze and blows.
Its thickness is 8 mm.
The body, the engine compartment and the trunk is completely waterproof.
Well sounds great, but lets find out how it is shocks resistant in practice!
…Well not bad…now at full blast…
Just a few little marks on the body, but we’ll fix it now.
Lets look what we have under the hood.
Here we see the single cylinder 15 hp engine working together with CVT transmission.
Besides there is a gear box, that provides a reverse.
Make a note how neatly the joints are soldered.
An interesting solution – the housing to take the hot air out of the motor compartment.
There is a double drive chain to make it more durable.
Then we see here a mechanical brake.
There are various windows in the hood for air cooling of the engine.
Behind the engine there is a trunk.
We see there several usb and 12 volts sockets and a button to switch it on.
The trunk itself is quite spacious, it even has a long niche for carrying long items like
rifles and fishing rods with lengths up to 120 cms.
If you have any doubts that the trunk is really spacious…just don’t have them.
It IS spacious!
The steering is the same like at any other motorsled.
All the maneuvers are done by this handlebar.
There are both handle and the thumb throttle to make it easier to control the engine.
Then there are light buttons, by the way headlamps are very powerful, smartphone holder, and
handle heaters.
The gearbox is controlled by this lever.
Well lets try to get is started.
And first of all it is very interesting to see how powerful this machine is so lets test
its towing abilities.
We have a large car trailer and now I’ll try to tow it with our vehicle.
There is quite a rough ground, but as we can see the atv easily tows the trailer…impressive
stuff isnt’it?
But actually our machine is designed to be used with other special trailer.
Lets look at it now.
By the way the trailer itself is also very interesting piece of machinery.
I think it is definitely worth of a single video about it, I’ll try to make it one
of these days.
So I won’t tell you in detail now about the trailer, just lets have a look at some
crucial features.
The trailer is made of the same material as the machine – the same durable plastic.
The inner space can be transformed in any way you need.
The seats can be moved along the whole trailer.
Two people can sit here with a relative comfort, even such big people as we.
And there is a front bench that can be used as a table for tackles for example.
The trailer is equipped with two low pressure wheels from a quad.
Besides there is a suspension system with quite a long travel.
But the most interesting, just for few minutes the trailer can be transformed in a kind of
a camper with a functional tent.
Moreover.
Then it can be transformed into a real motorboat, but as I said it is worth a single video,
so check one of ours following materials to find out more about the trailer.
Well I think it is high time to move to the practice, lets go!
Wait a minute, we’ve forgotten one thing.
Our trip is going to be quite distant today, so lets fill up our machine.
Its fuel consumption is about 2-3 liters per hour.
By the way how do you like my mobile gas station?
I use it in my household for all kind of vehicles, from a cultivator to a car.
It is very comfortable and a quick way to fill up any vehicle, there is a mechanical
pump with 30 liters per minute efficiency.
So with such a thing I don’t need to brake my back with fuel cans any more.
And now everything seems to be ready to start our trip lets go!
We are moving now to a distant forest lake and while we are moving there we will test
our machine in various conditions.
As you can see we have three passengers on board our vehicle and it seems to be not a
heavy cargo for the atv.
The weight of the machine is 200 kilos so it has enough weight and power to tow much
more cargo.
According to the specs its towing capacity is 450 kilos so you can attach even one more
trailer to the machine.
Well but what are the other advantages of this atv?
Firstly as I said it doesn’t require to be registered or drivers license.
Unlike other motosleds that are used only in winter this atv is all season vehicle,
like a real tracked atv.
But as opposed to the atv, Rostin Bkr is much more compact and it is easier to transport
and store it.
There is another big advantage, that impressed us most of all, but we will speak about it
a bit later.
And now few words about the suspension,
As we know both the machine and the trailer have a suspension system.
The suspension together with powerful towing ability allow to get through various obstacles
like fallen trees.
Of course it’s a bit shaky to move in a trailer in such conditions, but definitely
its much better than to move in any vehicle without suspension.
By the way such a model of a trailer is also available, but I think it is better to pay
a little more for the full suspension model.
Meantime we have an asphalt road on our way.
It is clear that our machine is not cut out for such roads but it is interesting to find
out the maximum speed.
According to the specs its maximum speed is 32 km/h and we can see now that we have exactly
the same result.
Well the machine is not fast, but it is definitely not the main characteristic so lets move on!
Now we are facing the severe offroading road.
It is tough even for quads cause there is a swampy ground and deep ruts here.
And we are moving straight forward through the most complicated sites.
It is common knowledge that a deep rut it is an unpleasant obstacle for any tracked
atv.
But our machine overcomes such ruts.
Even if the one of the tracks gets into a rut, another is always on the ground due to
the narrow base and the machine is able to proceed moving.
The trailer has the ground clearance 330 mm and big low pressure wheels.
In this way it is not a hard task to tow it even in mud.
Well Rostin BKR is undoubtedly a great offroader and it will be very interesting for me to
test this thing in winter in deep snow.
Do you want to see such a test?
Please let me known in the comments.
The only thing that requires some time to get used to it – it’s the steering.
If you know how to handle a motorsled it will be a piece of cake to get used to this machine.
But if you have never tried it, it may take some time to get the feel of the machine.
You should know that sometimes the handling of the machine even requires some physical
efforts.
Meantime we are approaching our main goal for todays trip – it’s a forest lake.
And here we have one more interesting test for the machine.
I haven’t told you yet that Rostin BKR is a real amphibious atv.
And now we will test its amphibious abilities.
Its high time for our secret weapon – a special cover mounted in front of the tracks.
Everything is ready lets dive into water now!
And that is the feature we were so greatly impressed with!
We have tested numerous tracked atvs in our practice and I would rather say this one shows
the best results in water.
Look how fast it is.
A really impressive performance!
And this ability to move swiftly in water results from a smart design and these tracks
cover that we mounted before going in water.
They just send the water jets right under the tracks.
And this simple solution provides a higher speed on water.
The carrying capacity of the machine here is 180 kilos, and additional 30 kilos can
be carried in the trunk.
Well now lets speak about the prices.
The prices depend on the set of options you want to get together with a machine.
But I can say they start from 2300 dollars for the minimal set.
And the trailer starts from 350 dollars.
And now lets call it a day.
Thanks for watching guys!
