Max and Argo might be in trouble when these machines hit the USA, I bet they will sell for half price as that is what they have done to the cheap-o motorcycle market. But the ATVs may be junk.

Phillip i with you, if quality is good along with the low price we expect from those people, our atvs
might change, they will either advertise or flood the market with these we may see 8x8ers sitting on every corner like we see the many 4 wheelers and dingdong motorcycle today

I am trying to find out more about them, if they are as good as they sound i want one Jeff

I looked at that article, machines look great, but as they said, weight, looks pretty large to me. I bet it will not be built any better than the crap they send over now Bryan

Just thought of something, if they copied the new Argo I thought they would copy those 24 inch tires many people seem to want, so I send them a message, they said they were in process of setting up US operations and would have machines starting at 8000$ and those tires, they will get back to me, did not say anything about those tires. they are sending me a brochure too

Just heard from Richard, he said he has no more information about the machine, the article was sent to him from a engineer that worked on machine, the owner of the company is looking to sell them worldwide. But I guess we know that, Richard said he would post any more information that he received.

Ya, frame probably made of pot metal and body painted with LEAD paint. Warranty probably ends at the trailer or first starting which ever occurs first.

I just saw the article about the China ATV, looks pretty good to me, I really like the three speed transmission and diesel engine. Looks like Argo may have a new machine to deal with, Seems to me quality of the china scooters are getting better. I would be really concerned with parts, because parts have always been an issue the these imports. The company may go out of business or just decide to stop making these.

I do not like the idea of crap from china but that is what the world is coming to.

We we sure these are for real and not just another internet game by someone who does not have a life.

If the machine is for real, good quality, we know it will have a good price, then Argo and Max have something to be concerned about.

I send Route66 an inquiry about the machine, they sent me some information and a photo

Looks like they cant even come up with their own design(direct Avenger copy). They will get very lucky to get a handful of dealers to sell these machines.Argo and Max have done this for over 35 years(proven designs,parts).I myself will always own a Argo machine. Eddie

Eddie, I take my hat off to you.You could not be more right. I love to ride, but if I have to buy a Chinese made machine to do it, I.m gonna find another way to spend my time, and money!
