Hi there as usually its me just a voice over, you are watching review machines and this
is all the crew of the ATV Shatun company!
These very people are making awesome machines, and we so glad to visit them again.
Today we’ll show you their newest products.
Especially we are interested in the newest model which is called Shatun Prime!
We will examine all the details and features of this machine, compare it with an older
model and certainly make the severest tests of this offroader.
But first of all we have an opportunity to see the factory, where these machines are
made.
And even more!
Now we will see the face smashing exciting vehicle, you will be greatly impressed with!
How do you like it guys?
Well that was a joke, but lets enter into the factory itself!
And now we see the most interesting concept of the new machine, it is a kind of pick up
atv truck.
It is very rough and simple machine with minimum options and minimum price about 30 000 dollars.
(производство скип) Now we are watching the assembly hall, painting
chamber, and by the way it seems that they are going to put an automatic transmission
in their new atvs.
And this is another concept of a new machine – Shatun 6x6 ATV.
I hope we will make a review of this monster when it is finally finished.
And now we see all the models this factory is making in the line!
I call them one by one – Shatun Neo, Shatun Prime, Shatun M5 and Medved M5.
If you want to see our videos about all the models please let me know in the comments.
But now lets get back to our new model Shatun Prime.
Now we see it standing next to the older model Shatun Neo, so we can compare them.
First of all I should remind you the main feature of this machines.
It is a hydraulic articulated frame!
I will show you how it works a bit later and now lets look at the other details.
Huge low pressure wheels 1650 mm diameter and 570 mm width.
The length of the atv is 4 meters, the width and height is 2,5 meters.
The dry weight is 1750 kilos, the ground clearance is 680 mm.
The machine is equipped with a diesel Kubota 45 hp 1,5 l capacity.
It works together with a manual gear box.
The drive goes from the gearbox to the front and rear axle by two driveshafts.
The axles are equipped with diff locks.
The the drive goes from the axles to the wheels by chain reducers.
The design of the new model is also refreshed.
Firstly we see here new type of paint, it a kind of armor for the body, that prevents
from scratches.
The front and rear door is mounted in a different way and now it is more comfy to get into the
machine.
The previous rear door was rather uncomfortable, I should say.
The fenders this time are made of a solid metal so they are very durable and can resist
some blows.
We see all new lights, and expedition trunk.
Besides the body is made of aluminum.
And the frame has slightly different design, so now there is no any front overhang that
is quite good for offroading capabilities.
Lets look at the interior.
There are two seats and regular steering wheel and pedals.
The dashboard is under the roof also we see here some buttons.
At the left there is a pressure control system.
We can move between front and rear compartment of the machine.
We see a lot of room in the rear part, it can be transformed in many ways, including
four full berth to stay overnight in the machine.
There are two big hatches, soft interior trim, lights, lateral windows and so on.
Well I think enough of details, now it time to see how it is in practice, lets go!
First of all I have a drive myself to make my very first impressions of the machine.
And most of all I liked the way how to steer it.
If you can drive a regular car you will be able to drive this atv without any difficulties.
The steering wheel and pedals are the same.
The articulated frame provides smooth maneuvers and the steering is very light due to the
hydraulic.
Undoubtedly this kind of atv is much more comfortable for handling in comparison with
simple skid steering machines.
Though there is no any suspension, but due to the huge low pressure wheels it goes quite
smooth and comfortable.
The maximum speed is 45 kmh.
But when you maneuver with articulated frame the turning radius is quite large as we can
see.
That is why there is also a skid steering system in the atv.
It provides minimum turning radius, so it is good for maneuvering in the wood for example.
Besides we use skid steering to maneuver in water.
Well now let more expierenced drivers to show us all this machine can do.
First of all lets try to climb this quite steep ascent.
Well we see the machines climbing such an ascent absolutely without any difficulties.
The traction with this huge wheels is perfect as well as torque provided with the diesel
engine, so it is a piece of cake.
Now we are moving on in search of more interesting tests for our machines.
And here we are facing the huge swampy valley – a good opportunity to test our offroading
capabilities.
All this valley is covered with thick bushes and we have to literally cut our way through
them.
But due to the special protective paint we are not afraid of scratching the body.
Meantime we found a really interesting obstacle.
It is a huge ravine!
It is really deep with approximately 45 degrees ascent angles.
Lets watch.
The both vehicles cross this ravine without a hitch.
We remember that there are no any overhangs, that is why we easily passed this obstacle.
And it is time for swamping!
We have here a serious swamp…deep and large, it is easy to get stuck here even with such
big wheels.
But due to the central system of tires inflation we can control the tires pressure very rapidly,
so with the lowest pressure of the huge wheels we have an insane traction ans we move here
slow and sure.
More over.
Articulated frame also does a lot of good in a swamp, cause we are able to change the
track of the vehicle by the articulation, and it’s a key feature that allows us to
escape from any trap.
The next test!
It is time for water now!
By the way guys, to be frank when I am film such machines I always feel so sad that I
can’t afford to own one.
To my mind its an awesome kind of transport, that can provide you most exciting adventures
in you life!
Just imagine!
With such a machine you can get any sacred places on our planet.
You my be a pioneer of numerous hidden locations.
This atv can give you a real freedom!
Now we found an island In the middle of a river.
Why shouldn’t we stay overnight here?
We can have a rest right in the atv in comfort, safe and secure.
Amazing!
As we can see our machines can easily float, besides the carrying capacity is 1 ton both
on a ground and on water!
The maximum speed on water is about 6 kmh.
And lets look how the machines can climb on a steep bank from water.
And the final question my friends.
The prices!
The total sum depends on the set of options as usually, but the standard price starts
with 50 000 dollars!
Well it almost dark outside, so lets call it a day now.
Thanks for having a ride with us.
