Quad biking is one of the most popular extreme sports - perhaps not so much due to the fun, but more as a result of a lot of media coverage. Perhaps there is no way of putting into words the feeling of taking corners at 70km/h with no fear of taking a horizontal spill, and the sheer exuberance one feels in running over endangered plant life with nobody around to chastise you for it.

Certain quad bikes carry a lot of power. For instance, The Scorpo Victor - aptly named - is a sturdy, and definitely not-for-beginners quad that will make you feel like the victor from the moment the flag drops, the machine has all the trimmings required for cross-country adventure.

Completely surrounded with removable solid alloy rim carriers, conveniently shaped into 150kg capacity baggage containers, the Scorpo will enable you to pack your lunch in case you get a good lead and feel like a bite to eat.

Boasting a top speed of 70km/h (ok doesn't sound fast but remember you're in the scene and not behind a windshield) you had betterAbout Quad Bikes know what you are doing when you put this baby between your legs. More kick than an an angry mule - this tiger is for real men only. And, of course, the type of women who wish they were real men.

So ignore the paradox of the term "quad bike" (make up your mind: is it four, or two?). Saddle up on board the twin cylinder, four stroke air cooled engine, slip it into first and get moving. There are animals out there in the desert just waiting to be shot, and nobody will know it was you.
