The model was built specially for racers and comes with some truly exclusive parts that include a high compression head, special cam and race-bred fuel mapping. The piggyback shocks and the 22-inch Maxxis tyres make the YFM700R SE the quad bike to truly contend with. Built without compromise, the sports quad boasts sleek bodywork with a very comfortable riding position and iconic predator styling. The sequential 5 speed gearbox offer direct power supply and the multipoint EFI gives instant power.

Let's take a look at one of their new offerings: the Aeon Cobra 400.

The only true road legal sports quad on the market, the Aeon cobra 400 by Quadzilla is the top in its category with a 'Quad of the Year' award being the proverbial feather in their cap.
