Since its introduction, the
Bombardier Traxter™ ATV has been the object of praise by the press. Voted
"ATV of the Year" in 1999 by ATV Magazine and "Best ATV on the
market" by Popular Mechanics the very same year, the first entry into the
ATV market by Bombardier was, and continues to be, a hands-down winner. And
although they’re honoured by the industry’s recognition, it’s the response
from actual owners that pleases them most. Because at Bombardier, ATVs are
engineered with you in mind. You.
As hard-working as they
come, the Traxter is also a very smart machine. In fact, it’s the only ATV
with a tractor-like step-through platform that makes getting on and off a breeze
while providing greater riding stability. Its ultra-solid construction and
powerful 498 cc Rotax® engine make it one of the hardest working ATVs around.
All Traxters are equipped
with a constant-mesh fully engaged gear-drive transmission. No belts, no
hydraulic fluid: just good old-fashion gear actuating gears for maximum
efficiency, low heat generation and reliability. Time after time, in worked
situations, Bombardiers experience has shown that nothing beats the performance
of a gear-drive transmission. And now Bombardier offers you two ways of
selecting gears:
The Traxter™ now offers the only electronically shifted,
fully engaged gear transmission on the market. You select the range and the
computer does the rest. This innovative system also allows you to override the
automatic mode and to shift to manual whenever you need to.
