Power steer ATVs

SUZUKI has launched its 2012 king ATVs, the power steer equipped KingQuad 750AXi 4x4 and KingQuad 500AXi 4x4.
The electric power steering system on both these new models offers lighter steering in a variety of conditions with less rider fatigue which is perfect for farmers who may spend long hours on their ATV.
The flagship 750 is equipped with a 722cc fuel-injected four-valve, liquid cooled DOHC engine giving farmers plenty of power for hauling big loads.
With low-range, high-range, neutral or park settings and reverse, the efficient, fully automatic CVT transmission includes a durable V belt and centrifugal clutch.
The 750's younger sibling is powered by a 493cc, fuel-injected, four-valve, liquid cooled SOHC engine producing robust output throughout the rpm range along with strong top-end power.
Ready to tame any terrain the KingQuad 500AXi is equipped with torque-sensing, limited slip front differential and a QuadMatic CVT type auto transmission which offers versatility and convenience.
Both models feature an advanced engine braking system which minimises downhill freewheeling, with the front hydraulic disc brakes and rear sealed multidisc braking system combining to deliver strong and consistent stopping performance.
Independent front and rear suspension aid these two Power Steer models in absorbing bumps and delivering impressive manoeuvrability.
The KingQuad 750AXi Power Steering is available for $13,990 (excluding dealer delivery and government charges) and the KingQuad 500AXi Power Steering for $12,990 (excluding dealer delivery and government charges).

Hydrostatic Honda

AS WELL as being the only Hydrostatic ATV in the 4x4 world, Honda's TRX500FPA is equally ready for adventure or tough work.
The TRX500FPA also features Hondamatic transmission, a unique continuously variable hydromechanical design that gives this ATV formidable offroad capability.
It is quiet, compact, rugged and maintenance free and features true engine braking unlike conventional belt drive designs.
The liquid cooled, overhead valve, single cylinder 499cc four-stroke engine is mounted longitudinally in the frame allowing direct driveshaft alignment to front and rear wheels for improved drivetrain efficiency.
It also features Honda's easy to use TraxLok 2WD/4WD system so it can tackle the toughest terrain.
Electric Power Steering (ESP) features sophisticated torque sensors that measure how much force is being applied and then tailors how much extra assist is needed.
Boasting Honda's Electric Shift Program (ESP) the TRX500FPA allows riders the option of push button shifting.
The Multifunction LCD digital instrumentation is compact, tough and waterproof and features large readouts.
Large front and rear carry racks are enhanced with a unique rear-opening storage compartment.
