Positioned in Highland's atv motorcycle lineup, the 2011 Highland 450cc ATX Quad Racer pairs a 449 cc (27.4 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 813 mm (32 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,245 mm (49 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7.57-liter (2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
