Linhai has launched its much-anticipated T-Archon 550L 4-seater Off Road Vehicles promising affordable go-anywhere ability for the adventurer or workers in arduous conditions.
The Linhai T-Archon 550L is the brand’s first foray into the four-seater market and its substantial load area make it suitable for lugging anything from tools to outdoor supplies, hunting or even light utility work where the average vehicle is simply not able to reach.
Linhai’s range is known for its rugged and reliable all-terrain vehicles and side-by-side vehicles and has eclipsed traditional brands to own more than 45% percent of the Off-Road Vehicle market in South Africa. It has gained an enormous following among non-competitive riders seeking affordable Off-Road Vehicles while still providing more than enough power and exhilaration within its range to keep the adrenaline junkies coming back for more.
Its affordable price tag and efficient engines and drivetrains have made it by far the most popular choice for companies wherever offroad go-anywhere is required such as security, game ranching and the agricultural sector among many others. The 4-seater side by side configuration with a load bin simply adds new depth to the number of tasks the beefy 500cc EFI 4X4 machine can accomplish.
With selectable front and rear differential drive modes including high and low range, the lightweight Off-Road Vehicle can transverse just about any terrain and with the ability to lock the rear differential its almost unstoppable. That means when the going gets tough the work or adventure doesn’t have to stop.
If the price tag and proven reliability and durability of Linhai’ s machines aren’t enough to convince buyers to make the smart choice, then the brand’s coast-to-coast distribution network that won’t leave riders stranded waiting for spares should be enough to convince them.
The machines are distributed Smith Power Equipment, which also represents the Premium Polaris Off Road Vehicle and Kubota tractor brands among others. The company’s decades-long experience
in the local market has been instrumental in cementing its top spot in the local market for several years now even among fierce opposition from firmly rooted favourites from Japanese and European manufacturers.
“Linhai has grown to become a household name among the adventurous and hard-working offroad riders and the T-Archon 550L is the next logical step for those wanting more. More seats, more space, more power and the ability to carry a substantial load is an appealing proposition that has been out of reach for most due to the hefty price tags commanded by other brands,” says Smith Power Equipment’s Craig Tutton.
This is evidenced through its hefty order book which has seen many T-Archon 550L’s already sold while the first shipment was still “on the water”. Its economy-friendly pricing, excellent engine performance, versatility and aesthetic appeal make it a great proposition and a tough act for any of its competitors to follow. Throw in alloy rims, electric power steering, tow ball and roof as standard equipment and it becomes unbeatable.
