Hi there as usually it is me just a voice over and you are watching Review machines!
We haven’t made reviews of some serious ATVs for quite a long time, but we love such
machines so today I will show highly interesting machine!
It is all new ATV and it is called Typhoon!
You may think it is similar to other popular machine Sherp, but it isn’t so!
The construction is seriously differs from that machine!
There are even some secret innovations in the construction, but today I’ll do my best
to show all possible details, that I will be allowed to show.
Certainly we will make various exciting tests for the machine.
So make some tea and get comfortable in our ATV my friends, we are to start right now!
First of all as usual lets look at the details of the construction.
The base here is an integrated frame and boat at the same time.
It is made of the high quality steel Docol.
The body of the machine is made of aluminum.
As a result we have both a durability of the construction and rather light weight.
There is a modification Ultra light with the weight only 1600 kilos that is not so much
for such machine.
The ATV with full set of options will weight 1800 kilos.
Huge low pressure wheels 1650 mm provide good offroading performance.
There is a central system of tires inflation by the exhaust.
You can pump up a tire from zero just for 25 seconds.
There is a all wheel drive system without any differential.
But the scheme is quite peculiar lets look at it.
The engine is turbodiesel Kubota 45 hp.
It works together with mechanical gear box with 5 ranges.
There is no main chain drive in the transmission, there is only a driveshaft.
It drives on board friction clutches and through them the drive goes to the wheels by short
chains.
Besides each wheel is equipped with a reducer, so the load on the chains is minimal.
So the transmission in general is quite simple and reliable.
Lets move on.
Lets look whats inside.
And first of all we are interested how to steer this huge machine.
There is a skid steering through the friction clutches.
But the most interesting there is a double steering systems.
The main system is hydraulic, so all the maneuvers are done just by these two joysticks and standard
pedals.
But if the hydraulic system fails somehow, there is additional mechanical system.
There are special levers that you need to attach instead of joysticks.
The interior is mostly standard.
There are two seats at the front.
The dashboard is over the windscreen.
There are all the gauges and multimedia system.
The rear section can be designed according to the customer requirements.
You can fit here four full berth and there will be a lot of additional room for cargo.
The interior trim is also depends on the requirements of the customer.
Well my friends, take your seats now, it is time to hit the road!
Today we’ve prepared an exciting route that includes all the main obstacles that are appropriate
for this machine.
Rough terrain, swamp, open water and so on.
And while we are moving there I should mention some more specs that I still haven’t told
you.
The length of the ATV 3800 mm, the width is 2500 mm and the height is also 2500 mm.
The maximum speed on a flat road is 50 kmh.
The fuel consumption is 3 liter per hour.
The hydraulic steering system is rather comfortable for long travels.
Lets look how it works.
As we can see the huge machine is controlled by just a finger.
As I said it is a key feature for the long distance travels when you need to steer for
all day long.
And as we can remember there is always possibility to attach mechanical levers in case if the
hydraulic system gets broken.
Skid steering provides good maneuverabililty.
It is a very important feature when moving in forest or mountains for example.
That is why skid steering is one of the best solutions for any ATV.
Meantime we are approaching to the cross country.
It is common knowledge that the ground clearance cuts much ice on cross country.
And the huge wheels provide us the serious clearance.
It is 620 mm.
Moreover the bottom of the ATV is absolutely flat in this way it doesn’t graze against
the ground.
One of the important features that there is no front and rear overhangs that provide effective
offroading capability.
It is no sweat for the machine to cross huge logs, low pressure wheels provide perfect
traction and diesel has a good torque to overcome almost any obstacle.
Even quite a deep and wide ditch is no any problem for Typhoon.
Lets watch the vehicle crossing it.
The next task – lets try to climb on this steep sand hill.
It’s a peace of cake.
To get over the next obstacle lets lower the pressure of the wheels.
You may know how such kind of machines are able to move on swamps.
So it is a hard task now to impress you, but anyway lets look how the machine goes on swamp.
All wheel drive, diesel torque, huge wheels – having such tools in you inventory provides
perfect offroading performance, so the machine moves slow and sure across the swamp.
Well it is good.
But according to the manufacturer statement, they do their best to provide an ultimate
reliability of the machine.
They organized a conveyer production, to get the best built quality, they are hiring only
most qualified stuff for the all kinds of working process and they use most effective
machine tools in the production.
Well but it is a matter of time to make any judgments about the reliability.
And we are facing new test – it is open water!
That is why I actually love amphibious ATVs – we are just moving on our trip even without
stopping the machine!
Well it is no surprise that the machine is able to float.
The matter is how fast it can move and maneuver on water.
Due to the lightweight and boat frame the waterline is even under the wheel hubs, as
you can see.
The maximum speed on water is about 6 kmh, but it depends on the carrying weight.
Now lets see how the machine can climb from water on the ground with sandy steep ascent.
Well we saw the ATV get over all the obstacles we were facing on our way.
I think the manufacture managed to built really decent machine.
It is well considered ATV with interesting engenireeng solutions.
And now it is high time to speak about the prices.
In fact the price depends on the set of options you need but I can say that it starts from
70 000 dollars.
And lets call it a day guys, thanks for having a ride with us, please post your comments
what you think of the machine and consider subscribing the channel if you liked the video.
Stay with us, there will be many more interesting materials here, good bye!
