You may have known Segway brand by their electric devices, but look what they make now!
Its Segway Villain?
Why is it called so?
You’ll see now, lets go!
And I am so excited to begin this video with a test drive!
I really looked forward to try this machine and find out why its called villain!
And even with my very first impressions I got it, the name is really proper - its a
real offroading beast, aggressive one, that provokes you to go faster and faster…yes
it is really the villain!
But let me show you this machine in detail!
Hi there as usually its me just a voice over you are watching Review Machines and this
is new side by side vehicle Segway Villain!
As I said Segway brand that is known mostly by their gyroscooters now is producing ATVs!
Last season we made a review of a quad Segway Snarler, you may watch it on the channel.
But today we have a buggy or rather Side by side vehicle.
But is is a new market for Segway, so they had to impress customers with something to
make good sales.
And I think they managed to do that.
Today we will find out why this machine may surprise us, lets look at it in detail.
The first thing it impresses us with - the exterior!
Its bright futuristic and quite aggressive!
Besides the manufacturer states a perfect built quality.
The base here is a frame made of steel, and its an antiroll cage at the same time.
The weight is 830 kilos, the lenght 334 cm, the width is 163, the height is 180.
Segway is going to present an electric variant soon, but now we have a gas engine.
Its two cylinders gas engines one liter capacity 105 hp.
As usually it works together with cvt.
The built quality, the plastic, the paint - are really good.
In standard the vehicle is equipped with side doors.
The lights are magnificent!
Headlamps are powerful and look awesome.
The blinkers, stopping signals also cut much ice in the whole design.
What we have inside.
Oh, is it Tesla?
It resembles that car very much.
There are two big screens.
When we switch on the ignition we watch some intro and then we see the dashboard.
On the central consOle we see the same intro.
Then we have here a lot of general settings, navigation and media system.
But in standard version we dont have speakers, they are considered as an additional option.
The other details of the interior are quite simple, the seats and the steering wheel are
adjustable.
The sport seats a bit tough but rather comfortable with proper belts.
The gear shifter and hand brake lever are standard.
There are two usb and 12 volts sockets.
At the right we have a glovebox.
Well lets get it started.
The sound is pleasant, it lets us know, that a liter is a serious engine.
And it is high time for a test drive!
We have a pro rider for that.
And again about the proper name for the machine, now I can approve it - its a villain!
It is agressive thing that gives you so much emotions.
Its like a cheetah chasing its prey!
Every thing here provokes you to drive aggressively.
And all the settings of the engine and suspension are adjusted to let you drive in this way.
This performance is accompanied by very pleasant sound of the engine.
It’s absolutely not annoying, again it provokes you to push throttle more and more.
The steering settings have different drive modes, you can choose them according to you
mood.
More comfortable or more sporty.
Well but the most impressive thing here is a suspension!
It definitely requires to be mentioned, but firstly lets get on the asphalt and check
the maximum speed there.
As a matter of fact 4x4 buggy is not the fastest vehicle, besides it new and can’t give us
now the maximum result.
Nevertheless we managed to get 111 kmh as you can see and now lets get back to the fields.
As I said the suspension is one of the most significant features here.
At the rear Its two-levers long travel independent suspension with 400 mm travel and external
bypasses.
At the front the suspension has 380 mm travel.
Needless to say that its fully adjustable system.
But lets try how it works in practice.
Now we are driving on the bumpy field road, but the suspension allows us to move here
almost at a maximum speed and It provides awesome smooth comfort no matter how fast
you go.
You can’t see the speedometer now, but the speed is more than 100 kmh!
Well the suspension is really awesome!
By the way let me remind you that we have a real 4x4 ATV vehicle.
First of all we see here a decent ground clearance 350 mm, there is 1,5 ton winch with a remote
controller.
We have a low gear and mud tires with badlocks.
There are following driving modes: rear mode, 4x4 mode, and differential lock.
It is controlled by such a standard block.
Well lets try to go offroading!
Unfortunately the weather this time is definitely non offroading, everything is dry, but we’ll
try to find something interesting.
It has a large ground clearance 350 mm, so we are moving along the deep ruts without
any difficulties.
We are choosing the hardest routs now, but all of them even don’t require a diff lock.
So its just a lot of fun to do some mud racing here.
Frankly speaking I liked this machine very much, but certainly there are some drawbacks!
The fuel consumption is significant, we burned about 20 l of gas while filming this video.
The engine does not have a turbo charger, but that may be considered as an advantage
by some of us.
And finally the price!
Speaking about the price it starts from 17 000 dollars for the standard version and about
20 grands for the extended one.
Well lets call it a day my friends.
Thanks for having a ride with us!
