Overview in brief
Sit-Astride All Terrain Vehicles (ATV), also known as quad bikes and all terrain cycles, are incredibly versatile machines. Their flexibility means they can work with a range of attachments, including trailers, sprayers and spreaders. That makes them popular across many agricultural, forestry and leisure industry businesses.
