New from top to tyres u by Andy Bryenton
There used to be two meanings of the word ‘avatar’ — before James Cameron’s sci-fi blockbuster gave us a new one. The first was ‘the manifestation of a super-human god’, and the second was ‘an idealized version of your own potential’. Both of these are good comparisons to the Avatar range of UTV off-road machines, as they deliver superhuman power and the ability to boost your productivity. It’s also pretty certain that one of these handy 800cc v-twin petrol powered machines would fare well on the fictional planet Pandora with its trackless rainforests. That’s because the Avatar 800 side by side has been constructed with toughness in mind, with visibly stronger components and a beefier chassis than some competitors in the market. This comes from knowing exactly how hard Kiwi farming is on an off roader — this is no quick rumble down the trails to bag a trophy buck, it’s day after day of hard slog in winter mud, summer dust and our traditional lumpy terrain. Avatar have pumped close to 1,000 hours of testing into improving their product, including a new CVT automatic transmission with full engine braking capabilities, modified fully adjustable A-arm suspension front and back, which has been widened and strengthened for ease of lubrication and better travel, and electrically locking front and rear differentials.

points for cargo, a higher mounted air filter to reduce dust and a host of custom options to tailor the Avatar to any farm — well, those are just the icing on the cake. Avatar’s range is steadily growing, and is available in the Kaipara now via Marcel Motors in Dargaville, who are famous for bringing the locals another big, tough brand on the land — the
Toyota Land Cruiser and Hilux. Lining up against such a big name means Avatar’s offering just has to deliver, and with recent upgrades from top to tyres you can bet they’re up to the challenge. Come and take a look soon, and see the difference — not just in the 800cc v-twin petrol, but across a whole variety of models including diesel power for those even tougher jobs. ¢
