ATVs

*"They always were the most misunderstood class, seeing they were easy to tip over. The thing is, the guys who drive these vehicles are a lot better than most 'Stormers give them credit for, as they can handle the rougher terrains much better than any other motorcycle-based vehicle class in the Festival. The key to winning on one of these things is to stay steady, keep your eyes open, breathe and keep your elbows out. Oh, and punch away anybody trying to knock you down!" - Muerte's Revenge Garage Description*

*"While the bike might be faster accelerating and more maneuverable, the ATV is generally the more reliable option when it comes to rough terrain and being the generally more stable and stronger choice. It comes without doubt that if you lean in the correct direction when turning, the ATV turns out to be much more maneuverable than given credit for, especially if you happen to be a lighter weight rider. When riding one of these things, it's always a good idea to keep your elbows bent, and your back slightly hunched over when turning, despite drifting is always a good option, when in the right frame of time." - Nevada Nitro Garage Description*

*"ATVs definitely feel at home in the Outback, that's why in most races they have a better advantage over that of Bikes and Buggies, despite still being weak. However, it's never a bad idea to take the lower paths, as long as you stay ahead of the bigger vehicles, by utilizing the best possible boost patterns, and leaning as far as you can in the turns. As with any motorcycle based class, your way of playing dirty is up close and personal, which is punching anyone off their bike or ATV." - Outback Outrage Garage Description*

*"They're certainly at home on the rougher surfaces, and are rock steady. Despite this, if a turn is taken a wrong way without leaning left when you turn right and vice versa, you're gonna end up on your side. While you're at it, always be sure to know exactly where you're going in races where more than one heavy or massive vehicle. When this is the case, just stay on the high routes, and avoid direct confrontation with anything that isn't a bike." - Return to the Wild Garage Description*

*"Unsurprisingly, ATVs are a great choice on any terrain in Siberia, owing to their locked differential and chunky mud tires, which are built to endure any surface ranging from deep snow all the way to mud. While some of them do come with all wheel drive, it doesn't mean that they can fair well on ice, since they have neither studs nor chains. However, the ATV is still a highly reliable choice for any fast paced race on rough terrain, though it is still ill-advised to partake in a combative stand-off with anything bigger than a buggy." - Untamed Tundra Garage Description.*

*"Just like in Monument Valley, they can definitely give any puny weight division vehicle a run for their money on virtually any surface, despite they definitely aren't exactly the fastest motorcycle based vehicle around. While they are still quite agile and are able to skim most surfaces, they still don't fare too well in vehicular combat, especially against a buggy. They're also not too bad at climbing hills, and climbing rocks, seeing they produce a surprisingly good amount of torque, and seeing that their rear differentials are locked." - King of the Hammer Garage Description.*

*"Are they a motorcycle or a car? We couldn't tell you, but we do know that they are virtually unmatched on rough terrains within the puny weight division, seeing their rear differentials are locked and the riders who've stuck with these things are actually experienced. Anyways, with an ATV, it's never not a bad idea to experiment with what routes you'll take, specifically the routes with rough terrain that the heavier vehicles would favor, seeing these things are basically built for getting down and dirty." - Transylvania Unleashed Garage Description*

*"It's been years and years of 'Storming it up, and most 'Stormers have finally warmed up to ATVs after actually learning how to ride them efficiently. They're basically built to be ridden into bogs of sticky mud, and taken off of sizeable jumps, and are generally the more reliable option in terms of really anything except sheer maneuverability and acceleration compared to the bikes. They can still easily be maneuvered away from trouble. Just because you're slightly stronger and more stable definitely doesn't mean you can take on a big rig in vehicular combat, so just stick to knocking down fellow motorcycle riders." - Off The Grid Garage Description.*

**ATVs** are a canonical vehicle class appearing in both Canonical and Fanon MotorStorm titles.
