To make your camping experience more fun, Yamaha introduces the all new 2014 Viking. In 2004, Yamaha dazzled the world with the introduction of the side-by-side ATV, Rhino. Now Yamaha has come up with the new Viking that will carry the same torch that its predecessor did.
The major new feature in the Viking is the spacious three seats. The backrest of the centre seat is tilted five degrees farther than the driver and outside passenger backrests, creating an off-set seating position that allows all on board to comfortably fit without rubbing shoulders.
The Viking also comes with all the wonderful features that the Rhino had, plus more. An engine with more power, more top speed and the reliability you expect from Yamaha. Combine it all with the best ergonomics and suspension in the business for the most capable side by side you’ve ever tried. Always wanted to go where few have been? Go there; with the new Viking. The new air intake system improves high RPM range output giving more top end power and easier servicing. It also comes with a steel cargo bed and dump latch with 600lb load capacity. You can also tilt the cargo bed with a simple unlock lever. For more information and to test drive the new Viking, visit any of our Al Yousuf Motors showrooms and speak to our sale team.
CAMPING TIPS:
As the days pass and as we delve deeper into the autumn season, the temperatures drop to a blissful low and we heave a sigh of relief for winter is just around the corner. Of course winter in the UAE, unlike other countries, is the ideal time for outdoor activities especially camping. Camping can be a wonderful excursion if planned well and can be a horrendous disaster if you neglect the little things. Therefore to make camping a pleasurable experience, we have put together few dos and don’ts:
• Stay hydrated: it is very important to stay hydrated when camping. Of course don’t forget to grab some water for other uses such as washing, cooking and cleaning.
• Glow sticks: To keep track of your little ones (especially when the night falls), use glow in the dark necklaces and bracelets. Kids love them, they are always on them and they are easy to spot from a distance. Please keep in mind that this won’t prevent other incidents and minors should always be under adult supervision.
• Warm clothes and blankets: temperatures in the desert can fall drastically as soon as the sun sets. Therefore it is advisable to be prepared for those low temperatures.
• Tyre pump: if you plan to let out the air from your tires, it’s best to take an air pump along. The nearest petrol station might not be as close as you think and it’s best not to drive with a deflated tyre for long.
• Charger: remember to pack your car phone charger. This will come in handy if you need to use the phone during your trip, but your loved ones could drain its power playing their beloved games.
