Russian ATVsATVs “Stels” (Stealth)
Motor vehicles under the Stels brand are produced domestically together with the famous Chinese corporation QIANJIANG GROUP.
This partnership allowed Stealth products to quickly take leading positions in the Russian and CIS markets, as well as win many fans.
Today we will focus on the Stels ATV 300 B model ATV and take a closer look at it.
Popularity of “three hundred”
ATVs are conventionally divided into sports and utilitarian.
The former are most often chosen by extreme sports enthusiasts for off-road racing, while the latter are more versatile and can perform several tasks , from active recreation to work in the garden.
The all-terrain vehicle "Stels ATV 300 V", despite its modest engine and average power, is the sales leader among the Stels model range, as evidenced by corporate statistics.
The attractiveness of an all-wheel drive ATV is made by its excellent technical characteristics, excellent off-road qualities, rich equipment and many additional options.
In addition, the “ATV 300 B” can significantly help in some work, for which it has a luggage platform that allows you to move bulky and heavy cargo , several types of panniers, as well as a winch.
Light weight provides the all-terrain vehicle with high maneuverability and, very interestingly, adds to its attractiveness in the eyes of the fair half of humanity.
Reviews
- No matter what anyone says about this ATV, the car still turned out good, at least for its price segment. Although the Stealth ATV 300 does not have the latest design solutions and so on, it has fairly high reliability and efficiency. I bought a new one a year ago, the running-in was successful. The equipment copes well with off-road conditions, which is good news. I recently decided to do some minor repairs on this quad. During this process, the machine was supplemented with a new spark plug wire, which was also reliably insulated. The standard battery did not last long and made it difficult to start the engine in the cold, so it was decided to install a battery from a car. I also didn’t really like the lighting of the standard headlight, which was also replaced with an LED one.
- STELS ATV 300B was purchased mainly due to its fairly affordable price. I got the one that was supported at that time for 150 thousand rubles. After the purchase, the first thing I did was conduct an inspection, as a result of which some damage was identified. This is most likely due to the previous owner as he wore the ATV down quite a bit. The variator had to be completely replaced and the installed winch had to be improved. What I didn’t like about the winch was that the engine didn’t pull the cable well, which, by the way, is observed even in new models. Now I'm more than satisfied with the quadric.
Features of the all-terrain vehicle
The device in question is a full-fledged “utility” , which has high ground clearance, long-travel suspension, and a wide, stable chassis.
The car allows you to comfortably accommodate two people on comfortable seats, elongated for greater comfort.
The trunk grilles are lined with high-quality plastic , which allows them to resist corrosion and carry 35 kg of cargo in the front and up to 60 in the rear.
In the basic version, the Stels ATV 300 B is equipped with hand protection , a pair of powerful headlights and turn signals, a hand brake and stops, a horn and a towbar, rear-view mirrors and an emergency signal, wide fenders and a reinforced electric winch.

Review of an all-terrain vehicle model that has absorbed all the best and has a unique appearance.
Mobility and maneuverability
The model’s excellent off-road qualities are largely due to the proprietary chassis, on which the developers worked hard.
Alloy wheels "ATV 300 B" made of aluminum alloy are not only reliable and durable, but also very attractive in appearance.
Universal rubber is used as a “shoe”, which demonstrates a high-quality ride on both soft and hard surfaces.
The size of the front tires is equivalent to 25x8-12, and 25x12-12 tires are used to equip the rear wheels, which, coupled with the suspension features, only helps to improve cross-country ability and controllability.
In addition, well-implemented switching of the drive from two to four wheels allows you to change modes instantly and easily.
Stealth 300 price
The ATV is, first of all, one of the most affordable, because at the moment its price is 240,000 rubles (as of 2016). If we take into account all the advantages and excellent maneuverability, the price tag is much lower than that of competitors.
If possible, you can choose an extended package, but then you need to pay a few thousand more.

How to choose a model
If you decide to purchase an ATV, you need to decide for what purpose it is needed in order to take into account all the technical parameters.
If you need an ATV only for your summer cottage, you should choose the most versatile and practical option. The model must have a winch and a tow bar. For such purposes, the Stealth ATV 500 H or Stealth ATV 700 H ATV is suitable.
For hunting or fishing trips, it is better to choose a utilitarian all-terrain vehicle. It should have high tread wheels, a winch, a powerful engine and a large gas tank. For example, the Stels ATV 800 Guepard ST model. It is also worth considering the volume and capacity of the trunk, and maneuverability through the forest.
If you want to choose a Stealth ATV for a child, you need to pay attention to safety and dimensions. Engine capacity should not exceed 120 hp. Stels ATV 110 A HUGO or Stels ATV 100 RS will fit perfectly.
There is no need to chase high-speed all-terrain vehicles if you have no driving experience. It is better to rely on stability and safety.
It is worth paying attention to the gearbox. Like cars, it can be manual, automatic or semi-automatic. And, of course, the drive: all-wheel drive units are more expensive.
Estimated cost
Obviously, a spacious tank will allow you to make quite long journeys on the Stels ATV 300 B , high speed will allow you to engage in extreme and/or sports driving, and the electric winch will help you get out of any trap.
Having such characteristics and equipment, the all-terrain vehicle is an excellent vehicle for hunting and fishing, walking over rough terrain, or helping with housework.
The minimum cost of a brand new ATV from the “officials” is 200,000 rubles in the basic configuration.
Additional options and custom body kit will cost a little more.

Appearance
Although the design of the Stealth is simple, the manufacturer has diversified it a little, creating a more aggressive image. Many will not even understand that this is a 300 cc model. Feedback from owners regarding the design is mostly positive. The manufacturer decided to present several shades of the ATV; red and black colors are especially interesting.
Large dimensions and large wheels only add to the aggressiveness of the presented model. This is a great helper for fishing or hunting trips. To transport large luggage, the design assumes the presence of a luggage compartment. The requirements for the design of headlights, steering wheel grilles, plastic and other elements are taken into account.
