Even if this ATV already comes with a generous tank, one can carry some extra gallons of fuel thanks to the massive load capacity of the luggage racks.
Switchable 2/4WD and locking differential are standard, just like the engine braking system backing up the hydraulic disc brakes. Add in independent suspensions and a huge ground clearance and you've got yourself the perfect off-road machine.
