Our team members www.sevenmotors.in INTRODUCTION ON ATV An All-terrain vehicles (ATV) also known as a quad, quad bike, three wheeler or four wheeler or RZR is defined by American national standard institute (ANSI) as a vehicle that travel on low pressure tyre, with a seat that is straddled by the operator along with handle bars for steering controls, it is designed to handled a wide variety of terrains, the most other vehicles. The use of atv for recreation and other outdoor activities is a relatively recent phenomenon, extending primarily across the last three decades. Atv are popular and becoming more so, since 1990, quad(class1) and off road motorcycle (class 3) atv, has increased more than 400 percent.Our seven motors deptt. Is grant to help maintain trial system, provide education in law of enforcement services, and to develop new atv riding opportunities. We are first steps towards a grant riding experience in India; this guide promotes safety and promotion for people, property and the environment. Use this guide to inform you of India requirement for operating an atv, check rules for riding your atv. find out where you are, and see how you learn to minimize your impact on the trail. However, this is not enough, we need you. 3 www.sevenmotors.in The ATV cannot claim a history as deep as long as motorcycle but it certainly rouses the passion of owners and raiders everywhere. The ATV first emerged in the 1960s referred to amphibious 6 wheelers like the jigarin 1961, the amphicat manufactured in the late 1960s and tera tiger. The original vehicle was attached to 6-wheelers. The first ATV as we know it emerged as of three wheelers. The spery rand tricat was designed in 1967 and manufactured in 1968, it was the Honda ATC that made three wheelers as house hold name and setup the path for atv in now-adays . 4 In In 1970, Honda ATC90 1970, Hondaintroduced introducedtheir theirUS90 US90 or or ATC90 it it was was 100% 100% recreational recreational use use only only incorporated incorporated large balloon tyres instead of a suspension. large balloon tyres instead of a suspension.

MO up the throttle. www.sevenmotors.in D uring the time, the farmer realized the value of using an ATC for work and the three wheeler market tapped into a new demo graphic. The manufactures began addressin the popularity of a three wheeler by cracking out new models. SAFSAFSA In 1982, Honda unveiled the ATC200E Big Red, landscape changing model featuring suspension and racks giving with the first utility, three-wheeler ATV. In 1981, Honda ATC250R is considered the first high performance three wheeler with full suspension and a 5 speed transmission. In 1980, Yamaha introduced the tri- Moto (YT125) ,their first ATV 3 wheeler sold in US . In 1984, Yamaha debuted their 1st 4 wheeler ATV called as YFM200, in US. Suzuki actually sold the first 4 wheeler in 1982 called the Quad runner LT125 , after three years company offered the first high performance 4 wheeler , the LT250R Quad racer , Which features a liquid cooled 2 stroke , and 5 speed manual transmission. In 1981-82, Kawasaki first introduced the KLT200 a three wheeler into the market, the company first 4-wheeler debuted in 1985 and called as BEYON185. The BEYON300 4x4 Kawasaki is first ATV 4 wheel drive found traction in 1989. In 1984, Honda introduced its first 4-wheeler ATV, The TRX200. The new 4-wheeler concept helped being an end to the 3-wheeler, which officially cometo end in 1987. In 1998, ATV with automatic transmission and In 2000 the Buck master Edition Big Bear 400 4x4. Now a day, the term ‘ATV’ primarily defines 4-wheel recreational on racing model and ‘UTV’ or utility terrain vehicle make up the 4-wheeler market. 5 www.sevenmotors.in ATV Rider View THE POLARIS SPORTMAN XP 100 EPS 4X4 Simply put, the 2015 Polaris Sportsman XP 1000 EPS 4x4 is a beast of a machine. With 1000cc of thumping twin cylinder horsepower being laid down by the fuel injected engine, the Sportsman has enough grunts to go wherever the bars are pointed. The Sportsman is as fast and powerful in my seat-of-the-pants testing as any big bore 4x4 quad I've thrown a leg over. While the massive power plant is the heart of the 2015 Polaris Sportsman XP 1000 EPS 4x4, the chassis would have to be its soul. Like all Sports mans, the suspension is Cadillac plush. At slow crawling or even fast-paced trail speed, the big 4x4's four wheel independent suspension swallows ruts, rocks, roots, and downed trees as good as Baba Booey demolishes cupcakes. I was able to find the bottom of the bump stops at high speed, but I think the average rider would never ride that hard or be as comfortable stabbing trail obstacles as our crew here at. 6 www.sevenmotors.in T he On-Demand True AWD utilized on every Polaris is exceptionally easy to engage/ disengage and it really takes the guesswork out of when to enable it. I prefer running in 2wd 99% of the time because I love to steer the machine with the throttle. The engine is big and gnarly, and two-wheel drive allows it to drifted with ease. However, in low-traction situations, engaging the AWD system enables the Sportsman to send power automatically to the front end when it senses tire slippage. The system operates independently and invisibly and is so good that it sometimes seems more like voodoo magic than mechanical engineering. One of my favorite Polaris features is the Electric Power Steering (EPS). I think Polaris' EPS settings provide the most power assist in the category, which makes low speed performance on tight, gnarly trails absolutely stellar. With the front rack loaded down with weight on the farm or during a hunt, the EPS performance is outstanding as well. On the showroom floor, an EPS equipped Sportsman's ability to turn the bars with one finger will help sell itself, and even stand out over competitive models. At high speeds, the EPS front end can get a bit twitchy with a bit too much assist. Topping my wish list for Polaris would be to equip EPS models with tunable assist, allowing the rider to dial EPS settings up or down depending on trails conditions. 7 www.sevenmotors.in " The painted plastic bodywork on Polaris models provides an impeccable finish and ironically, they hold up really well to abuse from the elements, as well as resist scratching. After a day in the mud, a pressure washer and a few squirts of Simple Green returned to plastic to a shiny black finished. The seat is possibly the most comfortable in the segment, and ergonomically, the controls fit my 6'2" frame like a glove. I should probably complain about the single lever braking because it's certainly not my preference... but I won't. It's seems as though Polaris owners seem to like this feature and Polaris appears they will staythe-course by not offering separate controls for the front and rear brakes. They do provide a foot control for the rear brakes on all models, but I feel the rears perform better and provide more accurate feedback with the hand control than they do with the foot control. The 2015 Polaris Sportsman XP 1000 EPS 4x4 is likely not for everyone. It's expensive and packs a real kick in the pants that is not suited for beginners. But, I don't see the monster Polaris working the farm, plowing snow, or hauling a trophy buck out of the woods any better than say, a Sportsman 570. The 1000 class is for buyers who want the 1000 because it's the most badass machine Polaris offers. It's no different than people lining up in droves to buy the Dodge Challenger Hellcat. Who needs a 700hp street car they say? I'll tell you who needs that 700hp.....the same genre of buyers that need a Sportsman 1000...that's who! Agree or disagree with my analysis, that's your prerogative. But, it's tough to argue that the same set of logic and our ability to choose what you want is what makes this country the greatest place on the planet. If you "need" the power and comfort only the Polaris Sportsman 1000 will satisfy, then buy one....you'll love it!

However, what the littlest Honda ATV lacks in new bells, whistles, or gizmos, it certainly makes up for by providing years of trouble-free service for some lucky kid. Powering the TRX90X is a super reliable air-cooled, carbureted, single cylinder four-stroke hooked to a four-speed manually foot-shifted transmission. The auto clutch makes shifting simple while the need to row through the gears gives little offroaders the experience of learning how to operate a manual transmission without the complications of a clutch. This gives little red excellent engine braking characteristics to control downhill descents. The 2015 Honda TRX90X has ample power and enough torque to climb steep hills or tricky sections with gnarly terrain. The front suspension is a single a-arm independent design that, unlike some competitors, does a decent job of maintaining proper suspension geometry as the travel articulates through its range of motion. However, a dual a-arm up front would certainly be a welcome improvement. Out back, a solid rear axle hooked to a single shock keeps the rear in check. For my son Gavin, the suspension worked really well in the tight, rock strewn terrain where we typically wheel. Steering effort is very easy and doesn't require EPS (Electric Power Steering), but it would be cool for a company like Honda to be the first to integrate it as an added safety feature for young kids. Braking comes from a pair of front drums and a single rear drum. Since none of the brakes are hydraulic, occasional adjustments need to be made to the cables as they stretch with use. An electric starter makes firing the youth machine effortless, although utilizing the choke until the engine builds some heat is often necessary due to the lack of EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection). Out on the trails, the 2015 Honda TRX90X did an excellent job taking my son wherever he wanted to go. I distinctly remember him being apprehensive about trying both an uphill and downhill section strewn with fairly large sized rocks. I had the ability to walk alongside him and "coach" him through the areas that made him a little anxious. After a few trips where he learned to feel more comfortable by moving his body around on the quad to better control it, he gained confidence in both the TRX90X and his ability very quickly. For those looking for an excellent youth ATV sized north of the 50cc entry-level market, there aren't a great deal of choices I would recommend. With that said, the TRX90X gets the ATV Rider seal of approval without reservation. 10 www.sevenmotors.in Engine Tires Engine type: Air-cooled, SOHC single-cylinder 4 stroke Displacement: 86cc Bore and Stroke: 47.0mm x 49.5mm Carburetion: 15mm Piston Valve Starting: Electric Transmission: Four speed Final drive: Chain Front:20X7-8 Rear:19X8-8 Overall length/width/height: 58.6"x35.2"x36.5" Wheelbase: 38.7" Seat height: 26" Ground clearance: 3.9" Fuel capacity: 2 gallon Dry weight: 151 pounds Color:Red Price: $2,999 Suspension/ wheel travel Front: Independent suspension w/ 2.6 inches of travel Rear: Swingarm and non-adjustable shock w/2.6 inches of travel 11 BRAKES Front: Dual sealed drums/right hand lever.

For 2015, the compression was increased from 9.2:1 to 10.0:1, the cylinder head and piston were redesigned and the valve timing and fuel injection mapping have been modified. This translates to the best version of this motor we've tested.

It is analogous to an animal’s skeleton. Chassis is a French term which was initially used to denote the frame parts or basic structure of the vehicle. It is the back bone of the vehicle. A vehicle without body is called chassis. An example of chassis is the under part of a motor vehicle, consisting of the frame (on which the body is mounted) with the wheels and machinery. The design of a pleasure car chassis will be different than one for commercial vehicles because of the heavier loads and constant work use. The components of a vehicle like a Power Plant, Transmission system, Axels, Wheels and Tyres, Suspension, Controlling systems like Braking , Steering etc , and also electrical system parts are mounted on the chassis frame. It is the main mounting for all the components including the body. So it is also called as a carrying unit. The main components of a chassis are frame, engine or power plant, clutch, gear box, U joint, propeller shaft and the differential. Frame design: The chassis is the component in charge of supporting all other vehicle’s subsystems with the plus of taking care of the driver safety at all time. The chassis design need to be prepared for impacts created in any certain crash or rollover. It must be strong and durable taking always in account the weight distribution for a better performance. 4130 Chrome Moly Steel is the best suitable material so following it we selected it over 1018 Steel because 4130 Steel has a greater strength to weight ratio. Along with material selection, tube diameter was also taken into consideration. Different sizes of tube were considered for the frame. It was decided to create the Roll Cage using 1 inch OD and 3mm wall thickness, 4130 Steel tubing as it was thought to be more structurally sound than a larger diameter tube. 14 Consideration Priority Priority Light-weight Essential Durable Essential Meet requirement Essential Simple frame High Attractive design Desired A light race car is a fast race car Must not deform during rugged driving Must meet requirement to Compete Majority of frame fabrication done in house easier to shell an aesthetically pleasing vehicle www.sevenmotors.in Suspension: Suspension is the system of tires, tire air, springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheel and allows relative motion b/w two. Suspension system serve a dual purpose-contributing to the vehicle’s road holding/ handling and braking for good active safety and driving pleasure, and keeping vehicle occupants comfortable and a ride quality reasonably well associated from road, noise, bumps, and vibrations etc. these goals are generally at odd’s so the turning of suspension involves finding the right compromise. It’s is important for the suspension to keep the road when in contact will the road surface as much as possible, because all the road or ground forces acting on the vehicle do so through the contact patches of the tires. The suspension also protects the vehicle itself and any cargo or luggage from damage and wear. The design of front and rear suspension of a car may be different. An early form of suspension on OX-drawn carts had the platform swing on iron attached to the wheeled frame of the carriage. This system remained the basis for all suspension system remained the basis for all suspension system until the turn of the 19th century. Obadiah Elliott registered the first patent for a spring-suspension vehicle-each wheel had two-durable steel leaf spring on each side and the body of the carriage was fixed directly to the spring attached to the axles. ROLE OF SUSPENSION IN ATV Think what Happens if the driver can’t control the ATV driving on a rugged Terrain. To overcome this situation we need a suspension . Suspension? What is it ? sounds cool. The job of the ATV suspension is to maximize the friction between the tires and the road surfaces , to provide steering stability with good handling and to ensure the comfort of the passengers . A bump in the road causes the wheel to move up and down perpendicular 15 to the road surface , without an intervening structure , all the wheel’s vertical energy is transferred to frame , which moves in the same direction . In such a situation the wheels can lose contact with road completely . then , under the downward force of gravity , the wheels can slam back into the road surface . what you need is a system that will absorb the energy of the vertically accelerated wheel , allowing the frame and body to ride undisturbed while the wheel follow bombs in the road . www.sevenmotors.in Principle of ATV suspension : Principle Definition Goal Solution Allow the vehicle body to ride Absorb energy Road The vehicle's ability to absorb or from road bumps Isolation isolate road shock from the passenger undisturbed while traveling compartment over rough roads. and dissipate it without causing undue oscillation in the vehicle.

What we got? Unemployment. Can anyone guess who we are? Everyone. That’s cool. You all are 1000 % right. exam culture, poor college, inexperienced faculty member and u can name some other ones. There’s a lot of people, society, communities, researchers and philosophers are working day and night to find out the reason behind the unemployment of engineers. They come up with large number of decisive factors which they think are responsible, only god knows what benefit they provide to engineering students but I must say by doing this these people are self-employed. Who told about Facebook, Twitter, whatsapp, games, alcohol, girlfriends ….no one…..that’s right. Students acquired these things by themselves, then why are you blaming to third party for your situation. It doesn’t matter where are you from, what you have, what you know but it really matters what you want and how much you want. Each year we produce 1.5 million engineers from all the educational institutions of India and 90% of them are unemployed and those who got jobs are under employed. I am not here to introduce these data to you or crack a joke on engineering students. Those who got the jobs are magician. No, not at all. Then, who are they? They got certain types of skills; they know how to apply the knowledge. Acquiring the certificates are not skills. If u can do it then why do you need any type of certifications. Certification only takes your money and time and it provides an illusion that you know something but in reality u know nothing.

It’s probably not going to be included on the next discovery concept from the guys, but you feel learning about, it should increase their education on the history of ATV technology……… 20 www.sevenmotors.in ON-ROAD ATVs In many ways a quad is a great form of transportation, not only off road as we are used to but on the road also. Quads are fuel efficient, relatively easy to ride, small enough to be easy to park, cheaper than a car to purchase, and best of all have acceleration that even supercars struggle to match. The problem is no manufacturers have built quads for street use, not in any volume anyway. There have been a few concepts built from BMW and Yamaha, and Can-arms new Spyder is a similar concept. But at this time there really hasn't been a mass-produced ATV for on-road use. In the future as fuel prices continue to rise and people seek more efficient transportation, the concept of using quads for everyday transportation may be embraced. This means that if you want to ride a ATV on the road you have to modify an off-road ATV. Modified street quads are popular in other parts of the world, so we traveled half way around the world to the United Kingdom to bring you this report on street quads. The biggest problem in converting a quad to street use is legislation, and although some states in the US do allow street quads, unfortunately at this time many states prohibit use of quads on public highways. However in other parts of the world 21 street quads are the rage. In Britain Street legal quads are classed by the government as small cars, and as long as they pass a MOT (Ministry of Transport) inspection from a certified testing center they can be used on road. This legislation has spawned a new craze of converting standard off-road quads to be used on the street. In recent years recreational off road riding as all but disappeared in the UK due to land use issues. Street legal quads have eased the damage this has done to the British ATV industry. There is just not enough unpopulated land on the island and any open land is usually either owned by farmers or protected by the government as “green belts”. That being said, MX and Enduro quad racing in the UK is still very active. Although street quads are a fairly efficient means of transport in the UK they are still primarily used for on-road recreation. www.sevenmotors.in ATV World in Leeds has capitalized on this new and growing market and is one of the pioneers of this new part of the ATV industry. Yamaha and E-Ton have also caught on to the trend and have a couple of models that are road legal out of the crate. But the majority of street quads ATV World sell start life as off road units and are converted to meet the road legal specifications. The most popular street legal quad ATV World sells is the Yamaha Raptor 700. Mainly because it is a bit tamer than the 450’s. The 450’s are pretty much designed for racing and the handling and power is a bit extreme on the road. The 450’s engine also have a nasty habit of grenading themselves when rev’d hard for longer periods. The Raptor 700 we used for photos and a test ride is an example of the most extreme quads ATV World builds. No expense had been spared in the transformation of this Raptor. The suspension was essentially super Moto spec with a wider stance and stiffer springs When it comes to street quads that are used exclusively on the road the suspension is one area that can be greatly improved. The suspension on most ATV’s is designed and built with high ground clearance and long travel to work well off road. 22 Off road suspension set up however sits too high and is too soft for serious on road use. ATV World have lowered and widened the suspension on the Raptor. The suspension lowers the center of gravity of the machine making it more stable on the road and reducing the body roll when cornering. The modifications include different a-arms, axles and shocks that give the ATV a lower center of gravity and stiffer suspension. This makes the ATV more stable when cornering and the stiffer suspension reduces body roll in the corners. The ATV we rode in Leeds featured Laeger wider a-arms and road specification ELKA shocks. The set-up is very similar to a super Moto race setup. www.sevenmotors.in Riding Impression: The power of the Raptor was the biggest shock initially. Where I am used to riding similar machines at 4500 feet above sea level on sand or dirt, the ATV World Raptor at sea level with road tires felt very quick. When riding aggressively, the Torque of the big thumper engine constantly tried to either wheelie or slides the rear tires. The handling of the Raptor took some getting used to a solid rear axle on asphalt is not for the faint hearted. We tried our hand a riding the ATV aggressively but driving on the crowded British roads on the opposite side was a scary enough prospect without learning how to ride the quad. That’s my excuse anyway! One of ATV Worlds technicians, Ben “Raging Bull” Richmond, came out and showed us how the quad should be ridden. He made it look as easy as he pitched the quad sideways into a corner and gracefully used the throttle to control a slide all the way around. The graceful display of sliding went on about a dozen times as I tried my hardest to capture the moment on the old Canon. All was going well until the rear tires got warm and sticky, giving the quad traction midway through a sideways corner. The result sent the quad straight off the road in the direction it was pointed in. Luckily it was a low-speed incident and neither the rider nor quad were physically damaged in any way. 23 www.sevenmotors.in OFF-ROAD ATVs ATVs AND HUNTING Ride where you can, then start walking A ll-terrain vehicles can be a great tool for hunting, Not only where I hunt, but across the nation, ATVs can be a huge help, allowing you to hunt areas that otherwise would be inaccessible. But to me, your four-wheeler is a tool for getting you where you hunt, not as a tool for actively hunting from. You can greatly increase your odds of success if you use your wheeler to get you to areas that you can glass, then do your actual hunting—seeking and approaching animals—on foot. Or you can ride to the end of the trail and take off walking to get out beyond the heavily pres- sured areas. You’ll be more successful and have a much better experience. You want to actually ride your ATV as little as possible because the more time you spend riding it, the less effective hunting time you have. 24 Then you can employ the ATV for the role that I think it’s best for: helping pack your game out of the woods. I know that after a long hike under a heavy backpack, I’m happy to see any tool that will get me and my meat to the trailhead. www.sevenmotors.in ATVs Off-road review 2015 Honda foreman Rubicon Many companies are really starting to raise the bar for the hard-working, hard-playing machines in the utility branch of the off-roading department. If you love options and want the reliable reputation of the Honda line, then you will be glad to learn the company has stepped up its ATV improvements as well. The 2015 Honda Foreman Rubicon has garnered the latest attention from the manufacturer’s off-road engineering division. Honda has also attended to three major features: rider comfort, electronic fuel injection, and independent rear suspension. es to provide a flat platform for securing loads. Tie down points for your cargo are also plentiful with this new design. The front rack will carry 99 pounds, while the rear will hold an incredible 187 pounds of cargo. With solid tow ratings in the 1300-pound mark, you shouldn’t have any trouble getting gear to your stand or trekking to your duck blind.The engine in the 2015 Rubicon is straight out of the Pio- neer 500. This 475cc four stroke is water-cooled and fuel injected for optimal performance on the trail or when you intend to work the machine in the hot summer months. Honda’s programmed fuel injection gave us good throttle response as we tackled the trails. Honda also claims the PFI improved fuel economy by as much as 12 percent, which was evident as it seemed to sip slowly at the fuel levels during our rides. The new look of the Honda Rubicon is appealing and classy, yet stays within the traditional feel of a sporty-yet-workable machine to bring it all together. The traditional bright red plastics help the machine to stand out, and with the rugged redesigned rack system, hauling gear is easier. The front racks have integrated plates along the outer edg25 www.sevenmotors.in 2015 Can-Am Outlander Bigger is not always better, but in the case of Can-Am’s new 2015 Outlander 6X6 XT, we think it could be. Although the technology of a second set of rear axles isn’t new, it’s definitely undergone its fair share of changes over the years. Throwing a leg over what could be the best tool in the proverbial ultra-mobile toolbox was something we enjoyed—and the possibilities of endless power drew us in even further The 2015 Can-Am Outlander 6X6 XT is powered by the massive fuel injected V-Twin by Rotax. Although you can get this machine in a displacement of 650cc, our test model was the larger 976cc engine, or what Can-Am rounds up to 1000. This 976cc mill creates mild controllable power and seems tame compared to our experience with other Can-Am machines using the same engine. Our assumption is that Can-Am had adjusted the computer mapping as well as the CVT belt-driven 26 clutching to better suit the customer who would use this machine more for work than trail time (although it’s perfect for both). Make no mistake though, the power does seem to come on rather well as the RPM’s ramp up. Fuel is supplied by twin Siemens VDO injectors and this engine pulls air through a 46mm throttle body. Our concern right off the bat was excessive fuel consumption due to the extra weight and axles, but after a good day of use we still had plenty in the tank. The CVT transmission also has a very low low gear. This worked well when the weight in the bed began to increase. www.sevenmotors.in N ow let’s look at the incredible bed system out back on the 6X6. When you think about hauling heavy loads, Can-Am has made sure you’re getting your moneys worth here. After dumping many heavy loads of freshly cut, sap-filled pine into the bed and transporting a half-pallet of pavestone, we were convinced of several things: The bed itself is really tough, and when loaded we were able to dump the bed with a single tug on the release lever (mounted right behind the driver’s right hip). The gas-shock-assisted dumping ability did seem to be hindered slightly by the weight in the bed, but with a capacity of 700 pounds we were expecting some kind of resistance. Hook your tow ball into the receiver hitch and you can also tow an amazing 1650 pounds. The bed will also adapt for many different work situations. In just seconds, we were able to transform our ride into a flatbed hauler. This works well when you need to stack in a pallet of seed or feed, or even a few bales of hay for a quick run out to the pasture. If you happen to work your equipment during the rainy days, the engineers at Can-Am also offer a full hard top to cover the bed. This lockable bed top has twin gas shocks to help lift the cover. There are other bed accessories as well, such as a set of log bars and a tailgate extension for the longer loads. There’s even a hidden second level to the bed, and Can-Am offers a lower storage dry box that, with a little ice, could double as a small game cooler. Sitting on the Can-Am Outlander is just like sitting on any other machine of the same brand. The 6X6 feels slightly longer and, in comparison, I’d say it feels more like the Can-Am Outlander Max family as the extra wheels are barley noticeable. During our trail ride the big 6X6 handled well and the seating was extremely comfortable. As we moved loads of huge pine the Outlander 6X6 gave us confidence of full control. Can-Am’s Tri-Mode DPS or Dynamic Power Steering included on our 6X6 made our day much easier and we found that with the medium setting we were still able to feel the trail and feel in control of the machine. There were a few times when we engaged all six 27 wheels while loaded, and I would say the DPS Max setting would be the right choice at that point. It’s just good to know you have that feature when the days get long and you need 6-wheel drive. The beast weighs in at 1,135 pounds. To most riders, getting into deep mud or wet ground with that much weight may be scary. but the 3000-pound WARN winch on the front is ready if you need it. The air intakes for both the CVT transmission as well as the engine are located as high as possible underneath the skin of the Outlander 6X6, so traversing those deep wet conditions shouldn’t be an issue. www.sevenmotors.in 2016 Suzuki King Quad 750 Axi 4x4: S and a multi-hole fuel injector uzuki will reintroduce to boost overall performance. the biggest utility ATV in its With the 2016 model, the imline for 2016: the King Quad proved fuel-injection system 750AXi 4X4 PS.

While the base crankcase, transmission, Beginning with model years 2014 and 2015, Suzuki began and gearbox sit parallel with the updating the King Quad’s framework, the engine occupies a low point on the frame, with 722cc engine, adding a Twin the cylinder down and forward Iridium spark-plug head 48 degrees. This improves the chassis’ response during cornering and makes for overall better handling. Likewise, the twin balance shafts reduce the massive single-cylinder vibrations, making for a smooth ride. Our time on the trail with the new King Quad took us up hills and down steep descents, and the updated model has more than enough braking power for such terrain. In addition, the rear brakes are sealed, so water and mud won’t affect them, and Suzuki claims the brakes should last as long as the machine does. The new King Quad features subtle changes to the front plastics. The front bumper cover boasts aesthetic adjustments that refine its look, though the framework and overall structure remain the same as in years past. Unfortunately, a large third headlight is absent from the center of the bars. Suzuki says that, in order to keep the costs down on this big-bore machine, they had to sacrifice the headlight. Though the additional light was useful, especially when turning the handlebars to see down a dark trail, the twin 30-watt halogen headlights that remain provide ample illumination and will suffice for most riders. 28 www.sevenmotors.in T he front and rear rack space is painted with a wrinkle finish, which provides extra grip for cargo, and the racks are nearly as wide as the fenders, so there’s ample room for gear. The front rack will haul up to 66 pounds and the rear can manage up to 132 pounds. The King Quad’s tow rate is set at 992 pounds, and a ball hitch mount is included with the vehicle. Welded steel mounts on the framework speed up the installation time if you want to mount a winch to the front of the vehicle. The inclusion of power steering is a must-have feature for any working or exploring utility ATV. The KingQuad 750AXI that we tested was equipped with KYB-brand electronic power steering, a marvelous addition that seems like a crime to go without these days. Our slow pace on harsh trails revealed just how important this feature is, and the regressive steering assist kept us in control. Most ATVs get harder to steer as you engage four-wheel drive, but the KingQuad’s power steering takes that stress out of the equation. 29 www.sevenmotors.in ATV RACE EVENT AMERICA’S PREMIER OFF-ROAD RACING SERIES ATV MX is the world’s largest-running and most prestigious ATV racing series, and is the world’s premier showcase of four-wheeled off-road racing talent.

Engine of Yezdi make and weight about 160 kg A group of engineering student from the city have attempted that so far big companies in the country didn’t think of and have come up with an all-terrain vehicle that is widely used in western countries. The vehicle which is capable of negotiating any kind of terrain like rocky, sandy or hilly is categorized by its low pressure tyres, high ground clearance and independent suspension. It was done as a final year project by the Mechanical Engineering student from Bharat Institute of Engineering and Technology, Ibrahimpatnam, on the outside of Hyderabad. “We used a two-stroke, 250 cc, 12bhp engine of Yezdi make and it is a single-seater weighing about 160kgs,” says Tejasvi Chunduri, a member of the team. He says it can attain speed up to 80 kmph and gives a mileage of 250kmpl. What makes it different from the commercially available? All-terrain vehicles in the west are that the manufacture cost of its design is very low. “it cost us Rs. 60,000 and three months of teamwork,” said Tejasvi. CLASS 10 PASSOUT STUDENT BIKAL RAI BUILT AN ATV 19 years old class X passed from government school Bikal Rai launched his Semi Eco Friendly Car today. He demonstrated his car today on the National Highway at 32 Mile between Singtam and Gangtok. He started his work on this project in January 2015. He finished his project at the cost of Rs. 40000 which he earned himself through grass cutting in field and repairing mechanical equipments in his area. He was unable to make a new engine because of fewer resources and brought a dead engine and gave a life to dead engine to make this project successful. 49 www.sevenmotors.in The details of his project : There are two engines in Car INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE Displacement : 149 CC.

The above project is completed by Bikal Rai who is a dropout student after class X from government school in Sikkim because of family problems. He dreams to study in science related institutions/ schools. People around his residence at 32 Mile in East Sikkim are proud of him, be it rich or poor. He invented this car on his own from assembling, wielding to finishing. No one has ever done it in Sikkim or entire India given a background of Bikal Rai. It has been 8 months since he bought a t-shirt for himself. All those money which he earned invested on this project after his families important requirements. 50 www.sevenmotors.in ATV ON MARKET Research and Markets "Research on China ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) Industry, 2013-2017" report to their offering” The production technology of ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) is mainly mastered by some developed countries, such as USA, Japan and Canada.
