For work and play. 18 excellent snowmobiles and ATVs with Avito for any task

How to choose a snowmobile

A snowmobile is essentially a modified motorcycle. It has three fulcrum points. Variants with one track and two skis are considered more stable and maneuverable than those with two tracks and one ski.

But there is no one universal snowmobile model for all occasions. Here the situation is the same as with motorcycles: a comfortable chopper is suitable for long trips across the country; for circuit races - a sports bike; for off-road, slides and jumps - enduro. So what should you look at first when choosing a snowmobile?

For hunting and fishing

We advise you to start with utilitarian snowmobiles, or whiskers. They are strong and powerful enough, and also have long and wide tracks to easily overcome snow drifts. On such models, two-seater seats with a backrest, a tow bar, rear-view mirrors and a spacious trunk are most often installed.

For infrequent rides, a snowmobile with a two-stroke engine is sufficient - it is easier to maintain and weighs less. If you regularly go hunting or fishing, take a lot of equipment with you and bring heavy loot, it makes sense to look at the models with a larger four-stroke engine - they more powerful.

By the way, for hunting it is important that the snowmobile is not too noisy - it should not frighten anyone away. In this regard, it is worth focusing on reviews of a specific model or asking a question to the seller. On the Avito this can be done, for example, in the messenger - and the fact that you and the seller are in different time zones will not be a problem.

If the carrying capacity is not critical for you, you can take a tourist snowmobile. It is faster, easier to control, better suited for beginners and has good flotation.

Snowmobiles of Russian or Chinese production are cheaper than European, Japanese, Canadian and American models. But they are not so comfortable and not designed for too intensive use. But there is good news: after riding a relatively simple budget model, you will eventually understand what exactly you expect from the technology and control. An old snowmobile can be sold on Avito - by the way, it is easy to look after a new version here.

In some regions, snow is stable already in October, while in others it falls out suddenly every time. But your own snowmobile will help you not to miss such a cool opportunity and arrange rides with your family or friends. Avito has collected more than 32.5 thousand ads for sale snowmobiles from all over Russia - no problem there is a suitable model. And if there is not much snow, 17 thousand are at your service ATVs: they will help you get an adrenaline rush and vivid emotions.

For work

If you plan on using the snowmobile almost every day, it makes sense to buy a utility model, but with a four-stroke engine and telescopic suspension. It is inferior in maneuverability to the lever, but much more reliable. If you accidentally run over a large rock or tree root in the snow, chances are nothing will happen to your snowmobile.

It is worth looking first of all at the models of the professional series. Here the manufacturer matters: the equipment of world-class brands is less likely to fail in the middle of a snow-covered forest or taiga. You can buy such a used snowmobile on Avito at the price of a new model of Chinese or Russian production. However, there are interesting options among domestic equipment - for example, the Taiga Patrol line from Russian Mechanics.

For Sport

The main quality of sports snowmobiles is speed. They will not be as comfortable as utilitarian or tourist ones, because for such models it is very important light weight, which means that all unnecessary elements like wide soft seats with backs made of construction are removed.

Sports snowmobiles are equipped with very powerful motors, usually four-stroke. They are more difficult to maintain than two-strokes, but they produce more horsepower, provide quick acceleration and maintain high speeds on the tracks.

The suspension of sports snowmobiles is quite energy-intensive, and the tracks are narrow and short to make tight turns easier. For deep snow such options are not intended, but in races it usually does not exist.

However, if you love enduro riding motorcycles - in real life or in computer games, then you may be interested in mountain snowmobiles. They have narrow and long (up to 4 m) tracks with large lugs, while being lightweight and excellent maneuverability.

What you need to know when choosing an ATV

ATV rides are a great idea for the New Year holidays. Powerful motor vehicles with huge wheels will pass even where other jeeps get stuck - for example, on a rocky slope. This is a new level of freedom: you do not need to think about how to get to this or that point on the map in order to admire the sunset or spend a few hours away from civilization. What to look for when choosing an ATV?

For hunting

A lightweight touring ATV with front-wheel drive 2-stroke engine is where to start. They are comfortable to operate and easy to maintain.

But it is important to pay attention to the carrying capacity: you need to estimate in advance the weight of the driver and passengers, as well as equipment, loot, tent, supplies and everything that you need for rest. For teenagers or girls, it is better to take an ATV with a power steering - to make it easier to maneuver. And if you go hunting in places with difficult areas, for example, sharp climbs or windbreaks, then it may be worthwhile to immediately install a winch on the ATV.

For work

The ATVs that hit the field every day are powerful models with a four-stroke engine, fuel injection, quality suspension and shock absorbers. They must withstand significant loads and be as reliable as possible. Of course, their price is appropriate, but there is no risk of getting stuck in the middle of the off-road and waiting for a tractor to pull out your equipment.

For frequent and active driving, it is better to take an all-wheel drive ATV, which is not afraid of difficult sections of the path. The volume of the fuel tank should be sufficient for long trips - and if you travel especially far, it is better to take an extra metal can of fuel with you.

For riding with children

If you are looking for a model for a child, choose from options with an engine capacity of up to 50 cm³. To control ATVs, snowmobiles and other off-road motor vehicles with a larger engine or with an electric motor with a power of 4 kW or more, you needDecree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 12, 1999 No. 796 "On approval of the Rules for admission to driving self-propelled vehicles and issuance of certificates of a tractor driver-driver (tractor driver)" Category A rights I. You can get them from the age of 16, and if you ride powerful snowmobiles and ATVs without an appropriate document, there is a riskAdministrative Code of the Russian Federation, article 12.7. Driving a vehicle by a driver who does not have the right to drive a vehicle get a fine. The license is issued in Gostekhnadzor, where motor vehicles are registered according to the passport of a self-propelled vehicle.

In addition, on an adult model, the child will be uncomfortable: the steering wheel is set high, the pedals are far away, and it is difficult to maneuver. The good news: for children, there are special lines of ATVs with an electric starter, and sometimes with a remote control. They cost much cheaper than the adult options, and when the child grows up, the equipment can be sold on Avito without any problems and switch to a larger model.

The younger the child, the less power and engine size should be. Then the speed will be low, and in the event of a fall, everything will end up only with dirty clothes, and not with serious injuries. A teenager can choose a more powerful option - of course, provided that he gets the rights to drive an ATV.
