ATVs have long been a popular means of transportation for outdoor enthusiasts. Racing or utilitarian ATVs, comfortable tourist models - a fairly wide range is presented on the Russian market today.On sale you can find products not only of famous brands, but also of inexpensive Chinese brands, the quality of which is steadily growing every year.
The participants in our review were the best ATVs sold in Russia. The choice and position in the top-rating of models was influenced by the technical characteristics, cost and popularity of all-terrain vehicles, as well as the value judgments of owners with practical operating experience.
The best manufacturers of ATVs in the domestic market
Stels. Russian company, originally specializing in the production of bicycle equipment. It cooperates with little-known Chinese companies that are engaged in the production (and release under the sign of the Russian brand) of ATVs using the technology developed by Stealth.
Honda. Recognized Japanese manufacturer of auto and motorcycle equipment. Having established an almost flawless production of cars and motorcycles, Honda set about producing expensive, but very high-quality (from a technical point of view) ATVs.
Yamaha. A company that needs no introduction. And in terms of product quality and cost, it competes with Honda. It specializes in the production of sports and tourist ATVs.
BRP. A great Canadian company that produces equipment for every taste. It is famous, first of all, for a series of all-terrain ATVs (Outlander), but it also has sports (known Renegade models), and even small-capacity, utilitarian models in its model fleet.
Polaris. A worthy representative from the USA, producing expensive and high-quality products. Tourist and utility ATVs of this company are in consistently high demand in the Russian market.
Tips for choosing a good ATV
In order to independently choose a good ATV for your needs, we recommend that you pay attention to a number of important parameters.
ATV type. This is the most basic, most basic setting. According to their purpose, ATVs are divided into four types: children's, utilitarian, sports and tourist (high cross-country).
Engine power. For children's and utility ATVs, engine power is secondary as they are designed for other purposes. When choosing a sports and especially a tourist ATV, you need to start from a simple logic: the higher the power, the higher (potentially) off-road and speed parameters.
Fuel tank capacity. A parameter by which it is easy to determine whether a model belongs to one or another type. In sports ATVs, the main thing is maneuverability, so there is no need for a large amount of fuel. In tourist versions, on the contrary, the fuel supply plays a very important role. For other types of ATVs, the tank volume is a purely individual choice.
Appearance. Since people are very picky about the appearance of everything they own, manufacturers try to make nice products. A freak with a “fiery heart” is sure to be acquired by a few, but the opposite extreme should also be avoided. If you don’t know what to do, feel free to choose a balanced model.
Price. The issue of cost should be decided in advance. It all depends on your desire: a simple ATV for everyday and unhurried movement will cost inexpensively, while for a good sports or off-road model you will have to “pay off” a tidy sum.
pay attention to complete set and the absence of minor visible problems, and do not be lazy and take the time (before buying) to expand your own technical knowledge in order to delve into all the intricacies of this wonderful vehicle.
The best Chinese ATVs
As you know, the popularity of Chinese products is due to low prices, and the case of ATVs is no exception. Their main problem is that, despite the impressive technical characteristics, the overall quality leaves much to be desired. Of course, the low cost to some extent compensates for such mediocrity, but lovers of reliable transport are better off paying attention to models from well-known companies.
4 KAYO SMAX 250
Country: China
Average price: 208750 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.4
Despite the outright sporty nature of this model, fans of fishing, hunting and other outdoor activities, as well as those who are simply fond of riding in uncharted terrain, will highly appreciate the KAYO SMAX 250 ATV. It provides everything you need for a safe and comfortable ride:
- High cross-country ability and power (28.5 hp);
- Disc hydraulic brakes;
- Full protection against dirt;
- Steel frame.
Despite the fact that the SMAX 250 is completely made in China, it meets the highest requirements and standards, as evidenced by the positive feedback from customers. This brand is in demand among more demanding quality buyers from European countries and is popular in Russia. ORRORO The KAYO SMAX 250 ATV is capable of picking up speed up to 70 km/h. With a weight of 168 kg, it is quite maneuverable and demonstrates high cornering stability.
3 SYM QUADRAIDER 450
Country: China
Average price: 300000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
The Chinese racing ATV has become a worthy participant in the top rating in this category. Its feature is a low level of practicality - QUADRAIDER 450 is designed for sports or amateur off-road "riding". On fishing or hunting, it is of little use due to the lack of a luggage compartment, which is quite natural for a sports car.
The model of this brand boasts a powerful engine (almost 43 "horses"), a five-speed gearbox and a direct-flow exhaust system. The gas shock absorbers of the Chinese “rocket” have switching modes of operation, which allows you to optimally adjust the stiffness of the suspension in accordance with the characteristics of the track. In addition, the ATV is reliable, and its build quality is at a high enough level to attract interest in the European specialty motorcycle market.
2 Cectek Gladiator 550 T6
Country: China
Average price: 370000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
One of the best Chinese ATVs is far from the last place in our top. The ability of an inexpensive car to conquer the most impassable routes was appreciated by many owners. Already in the basic configuration, the model is equipped with a winch and has a tow bar, with which you can hook a trailer with a maximum load of 350 kg. The transmission with a differential lock and the ability to disengage the front axle (to save fuel when driving on the highway) is highly efficient. This allows engine braking to be performed when required, greatly easing the load on the disc brake system.
The arches of the luggage platforms can withstand a total weight of 220 kg - this is more than enough to take everything you need for hunting or fishing (even an inflatable boat). The utility model is also perfect as an au pair, carrying out the transportation of necessary goods. The owners of the Chinese Cectek Gladiator 550 T6 in practice were able to verify the reliability of ATVs of this brand, rightly considering them to be among the best on the market.
1 CF MOTO X8 EFI
Country: China
Average price: 749650 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
The case when the technical characteristics go far ahead of the overall quality of the design. Chinese to the bone, the CF MOTO X8 EFI combines a flaming motor with a pretty starched face that will sag as it gets older. However, with due regard, this process can be delayed for several years. The electronics and electrical equipment block is located under the hinged hood cover - a good option that many branded models do not have. An 800 cc twin-cylinder engine is responsible for the movement, the power of which is more than enough for a driving trip on neglected off-road.
Looking at the price level and the proposed parameters of this ATV, you understand that you don’t really like expensive branded models, and the negative attitude towards Chinese products is a purely situational thing. In addition, in recent years, the quality has grown so much that inexpensive equipment from China is becoming a serious competitor for famous brands. CF MOTO X8 EFI has a rather attractive appearance and is positioned as a utilitarian model, most suitable for hunting or fishing trips.
Sharmax 300 Hummer
Country: China
Average price: RUB 346,900
Rating (2022): 4.9
A quad bike designed for cross-country and off-road trips, with a 23 hp engine. With. The maximum speed of the vehicle is 85 km/h. The equipment is equipped with an injectable suspension, a remote LED dashboard, drive chain protection, shock absorbers with adjustable preload and pumping.
The increased volume of the internal combustion engine allows you to ride an ATV together, the resource is also higher. The double-wishbone suspension gives sure stability, the wheel leans in the right direction when cornering, and at the same time, the load from the frame is reduced for everyone. The minus of the ATV, which can be noted, is the lack of a backrest for the passenger - it must be purchased separately. By the way, the warranty for this equipment is 2 years.
The best quads for sports
A class of ATVs that participate in competitions in the world's prestigious series. Serious requirements are imposed on them in terms of technical equipment and overall quality, since they are very often subjected to severe overloads (continuous operation for several tens of hours and operation in harsh climatic conditions). If you want to purchase a maneuverable and fast ATV, then this is exactly the class that you need.
4 ABM Scorpion-250
Country: Russia (produced in China)
Average price: 141950 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.4
You can fully enjoy the ride, both on the highway and on light off-road, on the ATV Scorpion-250 of the domestic manufacturer ABM, which differs from analogues in an inexpensive price, and at the same time has improved technical characteristics.The design is clearly sustained by a sporty style that will impress any rider. All control is displayed on the front panel, and the start is carried out by an electric starter. A powerful four-stroke engine of 27 horsepower allows you to pick up speed up to 140 km / h, and the presence of a forced cooling system ensures uninterrupted operation of the engine under any load.
Mechanical transmission combined with all-terrain tires give you the ability to move quickly over rough terrain. The volume of the tank in this model is designed for 8 liters of gasoline (a brand not lower than AI-92), which allows you to safely go on a long trip, because with all its power, the fuel consumption of an ATV is only 3.8 l / 100 km. A good level of safety and comfort during the trip is provided by fairly stiff suspension shock absorbers and separate disc brakes.
3 Yamaha YFZ450R
Country: Japan
Average price: 610000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
A small analogue of ATVs participating in the annual elite series of the Dakar rally-raid. It differs from the “large” versions in that it has a lightweight design, and therefore even a 40-horsepower engine with a volume of 439 cubic centimeters is enough for fast acceleration and high speed development. By the way, manufacturers from Yamaha have thought through every little thing, down to minor aerodynamic chips. The YFZ 450R is so similar to everything that Japanese craftsmen do that you can’t help but feel this affinity between the ATV and the company at first sight.
Despite all the advantages of the model of this brand, it will not work to participate in professional racing competitions on an ATV, except perhaps in amateur races.Nevertheless, the motocross car is worth the money, which the owner can immediately see if he just gets behind the wheel of the Yamaha YFZ 450R. Five-speed transmission manual slipper clutch, four-wheel drive and independent front suspension are capable of, if not everything, then a lot.
2 Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S Black Pearl
Country: USA
Average price: 1800000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
The Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S Black Pearl is equipped with a SOHC 4-stroke twin-cylinder with a displacement of 952 cc and an output of 89 hp. With. At first glance, this power is not enough for a sport ATV, but it is not. The weight of this model is only 400 kilograms, so this number of “horses” is more than enough.
The transmission can operate in 2 modes. By choosing the 2WD mode, you can tickle your nerves or impress others: with a sharp start, the nose of the ATV effectively rises above the ground, and cornering gives an unforgettable experience. AWD mode is ideal for off-road driving. The rigid suspension helps to quickly level off after overcoming obstacles and jumps. By the way, the saddle of this model is very comfortable and allows you to drive tens of kilometers without rest. The appearance of the Scrambler XP 1000 S immediately makes clear its purpose: jumps, speed, drive.
1 Can-Am Maverick X3 X RC Turbo RR
Country: Canada
Average price: 3500000 rub.
Rating (2022): 5.0
This ATV has an impressive engine capacity of 900 cm³ and a power of 195 hp. With. Yes, yes, we are not sealed. As many as 195 "horses", thanks to which, on a flat stretch of road, this baby is able to accelerate to 150 km / h.Its creators have not forgotten that good equipment should be comfortable. The dimensions of this model (3416x1849x1740 mm) made it possible to equip it with a closed cab and two comfortable high-back seats.
The Rotax ACE engine, according to the manufacturer, has an increased durability resource. Its CVT provides exceptional acceleration dynamics, and its suspension travel (559 mm) allows you to overcome most obstacles painlessly. Numerous positive user reviews indicate that the suspension works perfectly. The wheels are 32 inches in diameter. The tire tread pattern is designed for driving on dirt roads, mud and off-road.
The best quad bikes for travel
The class of tourist ATVs is designed to climb where other modes of transport are even unable to reach. As a rule, they are distinguished by massiveness, dimensions, a powerful and voluminous engine, as well as an “evil” appearance. But, despite the obvious advantages, the main disadvantage is the high cost - the cost of buying a tourist ATV is often comparable to those when purchasing a luxury car.
3 Arctic Cat TRV 1000 I LTD
Country: USA
Average price: 989000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.4
The versatile Arctic Cat TRV 1000 I LTD ATV has all the necessary features that will ensure a comfortable pastime. This model is designed for two, making it ideal for tourist trips.

2 Polaris Scrambler XP 1000
Country: USA (produced in Russia, China)
Average price: 1309000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8

The YFZ 450R is so similar to everything that Japanese craftsmen do that you can’t help but feel this affinity between the ATV and the company at first sight.
At the same time, the main difference between the model is the independent rear suspension (IRS), thanks to which we can safely say that the ATV will pass in places where many would not even dare to poke their noses.The stainless steel muffler, electronic injection system and reinforced transmission speak of the high durability laid down by the manufacturer. This model has repeatedly won the Baja 1000 rally and became the finalist of the American GNCC races in the off-road class, so nothing will stop the owner from becoming the first in competitive races or hunting.
1 BRP Can-Am Outlander 6x6 1000 PRO
Country: Canada
Average price: 1453000 rub.
Rating (2022): 5.0
The mighty brainchild of a Canadian company is head and shoulders above its competitors in the segment. It is built on a new technological platform and has the most powerful engine in the ATV class - Rotax 1000 V-Twin with a capacity of 82 horsepower and a volume of 976 cubic centimeters. Needless to say: full-fledged city cars often have less efficient power units under the hood. The total carrying capacity of this monster is 363 kilograms - also a record figure for ATVs. To top it all, a winch is provided in the basic configuration, which in fact proved its own indestructibility. Yes, the BRP Can-Am Outlander 6x6 1000 XT is expensive, but it's totally worth the money.
The three leading axles of this ATV are able to drive where not everyone dares to go on foot. The possibility of a large load without the use of a trailer is also considered by many owners to be a huge advantage. Going with such a unit for long-distance fishing, you can take a decent supply of fuel and easily ensure the autonomy of the trip for a period of a couple of weeks. A three-axle ATV will be no less useful for hunting, especially for a serious animal - its carrying capacity will allow you to deliver a large trophy home.
The best ATVs for hunting and fishing (utility)
For these purposes, all-terrain vehicles from the previous group are also perfect - the main difference between them lies in the level of comfort and the possibility of practical use (carrying capacity). For fishing or hunting trips, the models of utility ATVs included in the top of this category are best suited.
5 Can-Am Outlander Max 1000R LTD
Country: Canada
Average price: 2000000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
A truly powerful quad bike: ROTAX 1000R engine displacement - 976 cm³, power - 91 hp. It will go literally everywhere. At the same time, moving on a flat surface, it is able to accelerate to 100-110 kilometers per hour. Which is a very good result for an ATV of this type. The six-ply rubber provides excellent grip, and the FOX Air Assist dampers can be adjusted on the go, making any ride as comfortable as possible.
Torque is supplied to only one drive. This reduces fuel consumption and allows you to reach high speeds on ordinary roads. If the electronics notice that one of the wheels is slipping, the torque will be transferred to both axles to ensure maximum throughput. An additional advantage of this model is the built-in navigator MONTANA 650T from GARMIN, which is rightfully considered one of the best off-road navigators. In general, buyers are satisfied with this ATV, but some instances have problems with the gearbox.
4 Polaris Sportsman 570SP
Country: USA (produced in Russia, China)
Average price: 749000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
The Polaris Sportsman 570 SP is the mid-range Sportsman for extreme touring. All the available characteristics have this: a 17-liter fuel tank, and a 570-cc ProStar engine with a capacity of 44 horses, and ergonomic qualities, and even an enlarged air filter to prevent dust particles from entering the engine. Of course, such magnificence is quite expensive, but this is exactly the case when the quality is fully consistent with the price.
In addition, the model is equipped with the most comfortable seats that stand out from the offers from other brands. Improved ergonomics allow you to overcome many kilometers of rough terrain without fatigue. The utilitarian American has four-wheel drive and an energy-intensive suspension (the travel of the front shock absorbers is 228 mm, and the rear shock absorbers are 241 mm), providing the most comfortable conditions for the pilot and passenger of the ATV. Even when fully loaded (which happens all the time on the hunt), the Polaris Sportsman 570 SP maintains the confidence of movement at the proper level.
3 Russian mechanics 800 UTV
Country: Russia
Average price: 706000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
The domestic brand of ATVs in the Russian market is in demand and popularity. The PM 800, being essentially a utilitarian ATV, offers not only high practicality to its owners (it can carry up to 100 kg of cargo in the rear trunk and 250 kg in a trailer), but also a fairly high level of comfort and safety when driving not on roads, but directions. A powerful motor, four-wheel drive with a differential lock and a ground clearance of 30 cm allow you to pass unimaginable areas of complexity.On the track, only rear-wheel drive can be used, which, in combination with the fuel injection system, gives decent gasoline savings.
Given the comfort level of an ATV, this model can be called inexpensive. Cool seats (car seat), designed for 4-point belts with active lateral support, an audio system with powerful waterproof speakers, Bluetooth and USB media reading, the maximum level of security and a spacious luggage compartment are not all the advantages of this ATV. A powerful electric winch, tow bar and alloy wheels are standard on the model. The presence of a windshield and the possibility of installing a light roof will be appreciated if the owner is caught by bad weather while hunting or fishing.

Average price: 699000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
The main reason for such popularity of the Russian-Chinese Stealth ATV 700 D ATV is hidden in the inexpensive cost of the vehicle.

1 Yamaha Grizzly 700
Country: Japan
Average price: 1001500 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
Utilitarian in essence, this ATV is a tourist by vocation. Because of their excellent off-road capability in difficult off-road areas, such as sticky ground or rocky embankments, they are very popular with anglers and, in particular, big game hunters. Good running parameters are achieved due to three factors. The first is a lightweight body structure that makes the ATV the lightest in the class. The second is a 42-horsepower, 686cc engine borrowed from the Raptor 700R. And finally, the third is a unique development of Yamaha called On-Command. As a result, we get a good and frisky model with optimal characteristics for off-road driving.
Despite the apparent massiveness, this model is the lightest ATV in this category. The lightening of the body was not done at the expense of its strength - this characteristic of the Yamaha Grizzly 700 is at its best. This design feature made it possible to achieve greater transmission efficiency, and made the all-terrain vehicle more economical. In addition, almost 1.5 centners of payload can be placed on the front and rear trunks, and if this is not enough, the ATV will calmly pull a heavy trailer (up to 600 kg).
