Pitster Pro Mini Mod ATV

Wadsworth, OH (9/18/2010) - ATV Four Play, known for its championship-winning
suspension components and their shock absorbing
handlebars the SOFT BARS. Now they’re taking
a different line with their latest youth quad
release: the Pitster Pro Mod Package.
Parents whose children race ATVs in the youth
classes now can customize a national-level rolling
chassis for their young racer that is capable
of receiving five different engine packages
to compete in three separate youth classes in
the AMA ATV national series. ATV Four Play builds
upon on the popular Pitster Pro quad as the
base for the Pitster Mod. The long-travel ATV
Four Play a-arms on the Pitster Mod are 2.235
inches wider on each side and are the first
mini quad to accept Fox’s new Generation
II Float X Evol front shocks. ATV Four Play
adds their signature chromoly long-travel swing
arm, which is two inches longer than the stock
Pitster swing arm and allows for 10.5 inches
of rear wheel travel with either a dual-rate
Fox Podium X or Elka shock.
The stock Pitster chromoly frame is retained,
but ATV Four Play adds up to 24 gussets to strengthen
weak points while still maintaining the right
amount of flex. The frame is adapted to fit
the large radiator off Yamaha’s YFZ450
sport quad.
Having five engines to choose from is what
makes this youth race quad an affordable, long-lasting
performance option for motocross families. ATV
Four Play’s Pitster Mod’s has the
capabilities of interchangeable engine mounts
to accept engines from: Kawasaki’s two-stroke,
65cc KX65; KTM’s two-stroke, 65cc 65SX;
Suzuki’s two-stroke, 85cc RM85; Honda’s
two-stroke, 85cc CR85; and Honda’s new
four-stroke, 150cc CRF150R.

Tom Skladzien, owner of ATV Four Play, said having the option to choose an engine
lets parents keep the same long-travel chassis
for several years and simply swap the engine out
when its time for their racer to step up a class.
“The CVT class is great,” Skladzien
said. “But the chassis is very expensive
to make competitive and it is a frustrating
class for most parents”. “There
are so many variables with these machines. The
clutching, building the engine, pipes, rollers,
belts etc.” A lot of the times, “mini
quad parents” find ourselves not having
as much fun as we should. Because these CVT’s
demand a lot more maintenance and finesse than
your typical Japanese shifter engines require.
You buy these CVT bikes for $1,700-$1,800 dollars
and you find yourself putting $6,000 more into
them. And at the end of the day, you’re
still a CVT.”
Except for the CRF150R, Honda’s new
high-tech mini dirt bike engine, all of the
power plants available for the Pitster Mod have
been winning races in dirt bikes for decades.
The two-stroke engines are lighter, more competitive
and have a broader availability of parts and
modifications. The 65cc engines are competition
legal for the AMA 70 mod class, the 85cc engines
are legal for the AMA 90 mod class, and the
150cc four-stroke can compete in the AMA Super
Mini class.
Customers have several options for ordering
a Pitster Mod from ATV Four Play. You can buy
a complete quad that is fully suspended with
motor mounts of your choice but without the
engine. Or customers can go “Ala Carte”
and order a chassis with ATV Four Play suspension
parts and then customize it with your choice
of shocks, wheels and tires.
