New Quad W-Tec

[QuadTrix6]

Hey i just got the new ATV Sport Mag (November 2002) and they did an article on a new quad called the w-tec eraser. i was wondering if anyone had come across this and what are your comments on it. heres a few things about it...

* The plastics and whole body design is very ugly, kind of resemples the quadzilla

* It has dual rear suspension not fully independent though.

* It doesn't have a arms...it has individual pushed swingarms with racking adjustments in the front. In the rear it has a dual shock swing arm.

* It can fit any engine because it has diferent engine cradles. the one in the article has a husaberg 650 engine in it but they will put whatever engine you want in it

* It hasa diferent type of stearing stem. in the rear it has a dual shock swing arm

* Cycle barn carries it, but its made in the netherlands

It is ugly as ****. I bet it handles like crap too. The KTM or Husaberg engines sound nice though.

[Twiztid]

sounds really gay

Yes its ugly, but its a very populair atv here in the Netherlands and whole Europe. It drives pretty good :) You'll see it at pont du vaux. VLS is its competitor:

look at the handlebars..:huh :ermm:

[Hondadudeehhhh]

look at the old topic.. :huh :ermm:

who cares.. it`s still ugly:huh :ermm:

[baker250r]

actually they say that front suspension performs better than the conventional A arm design. It may be ugly, but im sure if it was sold here, id say there would be alot of people worshipping them because they out perform our's. i heard u can special order them, but for just the chassis its like 10 grand.

[CannondaleRider]

You can buy them here!!

Theres a dealer in Lynnwood, Washington

:huh :ermm: ?

[400exrider707]

The idea for the front-end is genius, but it isn't the nicest looking thing ever, but its not the ugliest. Anyone remember gas-gas' first quad that looked like a nose?? Yeah that was even uglier. Anyways that w-tec beat a DS 650 baja in a shootout like less than a year ago. And yes they are very expensive. There is also one in front of the pack on one of the huevos videos.

VLS = blatent banshee rip-off:huh

OMG, this thread is so old. The new W-tec is definitely easier on the eye, but that swingarm just looks all wrong.

[QuadJunkies]

The last pictures was of the old W-Tec, the new one is much better. Its getting more and more popular in Europe.

No I'm not somebody from W-Tec :)

[QuadJunkies]

Thats a WILD W-tec :eek2:

[RaptorRacer45]

Thats still 1 weird lookin Quad.....i like the rear bumper though

[250xridamatt]

It seems like the bottom rear shocks mounts would be prone to breaking? I definately dont think the rear design would be as strong as the conventional design. I dont know what to think about that front end... I guess I would have to try and see. Anybody got one they want to lend to me?

[Ralph.nl]

They make the front like this for years now, so I think it works good. The Erasers (new model) are winning every contest in the Netherlands and Belgium. So it must be pretty good :)

[dober250R]

Very innovative, i'd ride one!!!!!

[Ridin' Jesse]

id really like to test one of them
