Sand-X T-ATV 1200 All-Terrain Vehicle Is the Ultimate Sand Dunes Vehicle

In case you’re wondering around the Middle East or Africa these days you probably noticed there’s quite a bunch of places where an all-terrain armored vehicle would come in handy. Or maybe you didn’t. That doesn’t mean we’re not allowed to talk about this bad boy tracked ATV recently unveiled by Streit Group, the world’s leading armored vehicle manufacturer. It’s the result of a strategic partnership with Sand-X Motors and was designed for military purposes.

But what makes it that special we’d actually want to find out more about it? Well, the Swiss company claims it’s the world’s fastest and safest off-road vehicle. Isn’t that a bit overrated? Wait, there’s more.

The vehicle’s full name is Sand-X T-ATV 1200 and according to Army Recognition, it’s the most efficient vehicle for military special operations. Get this, it's “the only real all-terrain vehicle worldwide”. Even though we can’t quite figure out how that part works momentarily, we’ll try to look closer at its structure in order to understand its uniqueness.

It’s built to resist any terrain, everything from deep sand, snow, rocky terrains and barely most of the difficult surfaces. Moreover, according to its creators, it was designed to stand up to the harshest weather conditions resisting temperatures as low as -50 and as high as +60 Celsius degrees.

The point of gravity is exceptionally low, and the kevlar-made track provides an optimum grip for precise power and speed control. Furthermore, the roll-over risk is reduced to a minimum, which means you’re fast, strong and stable.

No obstacle will stop the vehicle, which allows special forces drivers to reach the target in a straightforward way. And let us not forget, Streit Group is also offering an armored version of the Sand-X T-ATV.

Whatever choice may be, you should also know that this puppy is powered by a 1200cc Rotex, four-stroke engine with automatic transmission and a fuel range of up to 350 km.

The ability to reach the 100 km/h mark quick is big in this one, as it will take less that 3 seconds to do so. That also comes with a top speed of 185 km/h which is quite impressive to be honest. It can carry a payload of up to 350 kg and is equipped with an extra-strong cooling, supporting operations in tropical conditions.
