For some, they are the purest form of fun one can have on
four wheels. As for the rest, they are looked upon as ridiculously high-priced
plaything that causes more harm than good. However, whichever side of the
argument you are on, there is no denying the fact that the popularity of ATVs
in India
has been growing with time.
But unlike us lot, ATVs are some of the most loved vehicles
all across Europe and UAE. Nearly all of the
major players of the ATV space including Polaris, Yamaha and Honda have been
offering their entire range of ATVs. But in India, to have an ATV, buyers have
not many choices but to get it assembled or get it fully imported; which is why
Pune based Nebula Automotive, an all-terrain vehicle manufacturer and
distributor, has launched an all-new range of high-end ATVs to cater to this
growing niche market.
With the
entire line-up consisting of over 20 different models, Nebula Automotive (http://nebulaauto.com/)
now offers a full spectrum of lifestyle vehicles ranging from 110cc
small-size ATVs to 800cc twin seaters ideal for serious off-road
enthusiasts.
The most outrageous looking vehicle of the lot, the
three-wheel Trike is more of a showboating tool than a serious offroader.
Featuring a 300cc water-cooled engine with electric start, the Trike can seat
two people and comes with a price-tag of Rs 7.70 lakh. The HS800, on the
other hand, with its 800cc, V-twin engine and 4WD system, genuinely boasts of
go-anywhere capabilities. Priced at Rs 16.5 lakh, the HS800, like the Trike,
will cater to the needs of limited number of enthusiasts.
The single seater AX700, probably the sportiest of the lot,
also promises serious performance off the road, thanks to its 686cc liquid
cooled engine and 4WD with 3-way locking differentials. Priced at Rs 12 lakh,
the AX700 also features a CVT gearbox and disc brakes all-round.
Commenting on the launch of the all-new range, Mr. Sukhdev
Asnani , Managing Director of Nebula Automotive, said "The off-road market in India has
tremendous potential. Until now our performance and growth has been exceptional.
The addition of these new ATVs furthermore strengthens our placement in the
market. The Trike ATV and the HS800 will be unique models and we are
confident that given their performance and pricing, they will be well accepted
in the market."
The new
range starts at shade under Rs 1 lakh and goes all the way to Rs 23 lakh.
