Experience hunter. ATV Stels Hunter 400

The Stels ATV 400 Hunter ATV is a compact classic single-seater model designed for off-road and rough terrain. The equipment is equipped with a single-cylinder power plant with a rated output power of 16 horsepower or 11.7 kilowatts. A carburetor is used as a fuel system. The engine uses a single camshaft and four valves. The greatest traction force of the motor is at medium speeds, which ensures easy overcoming of possible obstacles.

The driver can take any cargo with him, since the model has special luggage platforms. It should be noted that there is a limit on the carrying capacity, namely the equipment can carry a load weighing no more than 90 kilograms. In principle, this is quite enough for transporting fishing and hunting equipment, as well as for traveler’s belongings. It is also worth noting that the trunks have low sides.

The appearance of this ATV is quite restrained and quite impressive, and at the same time it does not have additional frills. Luggage platforms complement the design of the model, as they fit well into the body and do not stand out too much among the laconic curves. As in most other models from this manufacturer, there are immediately recognizable outlines, namely slanted headlights.

No changes were made to the dashboard and controls, since these elements already satisfy the convenience of consumers, as proven by numerous reviews. But still, the dashboard has been slightly improved, its capabilities have become much wider, which is quite convenient. The throttle trigger has been changed, from which, thanks to improvements, the finger does not slip off when performing any maneuvers at high speed.

The efficiency of the Stealth ATV 400 Hunter ATV has been significantly increased through the use of an electromechanical gearbox. This transmission has five gears, as well as neutral and reverse gears. The transmission system is equipped with a reliable dry-type centrifugal clutch, thanks to which torque is transmitted to the drive axle without loss of power.

This ATV has a reinforced frame structure made of high-strength steel. This element ensures not only reliability of the equipment, but also safety. By the way, other design elements also had a positive effect on safety: a reliable braking system with hydraulic drives, tuned wishbone suspensions, as well as off-road tires. All this together provides the ATV, in addition to safety, with simple control and comfort when moving on various road surfaces. The Stealth ATV 400 Hunter stands out among its analogues in that it has increased maneuverability and coordinated operation of all its systems.

The cross-country ability of the model also inspires confidence, however, if the equipment cannot cope on the site and cannot get out under its own power, the driver can use the powerful winch, which is already included in the standard configuration of the ATV.

Review of the Stels ATV 400 Hunter ATV

The name of the all-terrain vehicle – Hunter – speaks for itself: powerful, “predatory”, grippy. The STELS ATV 400 Hunter ATV even looks like a real hunter. Single-seater, purely utilitarian, is unlikely to impress the fastidious extreme sports enthusiast. And for a hunting or fishing trip, with all the necessary equipment, the Hunter ATV is exactly what you need.

Ahead of you is a field or rough terrain, small hills or even the coast - all this is within the capabilities of the STELS ATV 400 Hunter. And you don’t even have to talk about the ordinary road - it handles quite decently and even develops high speed, without losing any comfort at all.

Gasoline 4-stroke single-cylinder engine, displacement 359 cc, power 18 “horses”. Tank volume – 13 liters. Good ground clearance of 260 mm, wheelbase 1320 mm. Front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc. Electromechanical transmission, starting system - manual start and electric starter. Basic equipment: towbar, winch, hand protection.

The design of the Hunter remained faithful to its older brothers - slanted headlights, large features of a serious “muzzle”, two (front and rear) trunks. And to describe it in two words – nothing superfluous and at the same time quite functional. Charming, with an incredible, special charm, the STELS ATV 400 Hunter ATV fills the driver with its energy.

The controls are clear and logical - everything is in its place, only when switching to the “reverse” mode, with the obligatory pressing of the left lever, it slows down a little in motion. Intuitive dashboard. I would especially like to focus on the gas trigger: convenient location, pressing occurs without jerking or slipping, even on bumps. If absolutely necessary, the relatively small dimensions of the ATV make it easy for even one person to roll it out or simply push it in places where the reverse does not help.

The engine is cooled by oil with forced airflow, thanks to which the engine almost does not overheat. However, on difficult road sections, the temperature may rise, which indicates poor fan performance. Torque is determined by a five-speed gearbox with electric drive and two clutches. Switching can be done using the buttons on the left remote control and, like a motorcycle, with a special paw on the left side under the foot.

You can buy the STELS ATV 400 Hunter ATV in our online store for a fairly reasonable price - 155,000 rubles , which fully justifies all the functionality.

If we compare the Hunter with its predecessor - the STELS ATV 300B model located in the same price range, then it is worth noting a more powerful engine and reinforced suspension. At the same time, the wheelbase remained the same, with slightly increased overall dimensions.

Price

The cost of a Stels ATV 400 Hunter ATV with zero mileage currently varies in the range from 155 thousand rubles to 180 thousand Russian rubles. The price varies depending on the model configuration and its year of production.

A cheaper and more accessible option is to purchase an all-terrain vehicle with accumulated mileage. The price tag for such a car depends on the year of manufacture, technical condition, and, of course, mileage. The average cost now ranges from 80 thousand rubles to 120 thousand Russian rubles.

Review of Stealth 400 Hunter

Many people know that Stealth brand equipment has excellent quality and at the same time a very affordable price. This model is of good quality and simple characteristics. Despite its origins, the main competitor is the Honda TRX 420. The maximum speed may seem insufficient to some, but if you feel the excellent traction of the ATV and the quick gear changes, this drawback will be insignificant.

The gearbox has one peculiarity: despite the fact that it is mechanical, shifting occurs from the steering wheel. Thus, the driver can better feel his ATV and change the desired gear as quickly as possible. All the characteristics of the stealth 400 hunter allow not only a beginner, but also a woman to control this ATV; on dangerous roads, the feedback from the steering wheel is minimal. To feel the power of the Stealth as best as possible, it is best to move in second gear.

We recommend looking at reviews of equally high-quality equipment from the Stealth brand – Stels Enduro 250 and Stels Delta 200 motorcycles.

The device is perfect for the most extreme severe tests, despite its low price and average characteristics. You can easily navigate through fords, sand dunes and other surprises of nature. For this purpose, a special arrangement of parts was developed, for example, the air intake was placed as high as possible, which made it possible to delve into the most unpredictable fords. And even if you get stuck, you can pull you out of the adventure with the help of an installed winch. With this system you can do without other equipment; you can connect it to a winch or something similar.

Price Stealth 400 Hunter

The biggest advantage in this case is the low competitive cost. The manufacturer tried to make the model as cheap as possible by installing inexpensive parts, while replacing some with simplified options. Due to the crisis in the country, the current price of an ATV sold is 170,000 rubles (for 2021). Additionally, it is possible to order spare parts and select the required color.

Conclusion

The Stels ATV 400 Hunter ATV is considered an excellent representative of budget equipment, which will be an ideal option for hunters, fishermen or just farmers. For the latter, they created the proper conditions and installed two luggage racks. One of them can accommodate luggage up to 40 kg, and the second for larger loads – a maximum of 90 kg.

But as you understand, in this case it is best to simply move along flat or rural terrain; the luggage will not withstand sand dunes. Reviews of the Stels ATV 400 Hunter note that this model can compete with more powerful representatives, because it has a fairly good engine, low price and ease of operation.

Reviews

1. I purchased this ATV for 170 thousand rubles. At first, when buying, I spent a long time choosing a model, since there were also larger cars. First of all, this device attracted my attention due to its cost, but after examining it completely and realizing that it, in fact, had everything I needed with it, I decided to stick with it. The ATV is very good, everything is conveniently located and easy to control. The maneuverability is really high, I used the winch only once, when the equipment got stuck in a swamp up to the level of the fuel tank. Dynamics and traction are all excellent. I even tried to ride more powerful models, but surprisingly I didn’t feel a significant difference. The model was run-in successfully, and after the first maintenance it even began to drive better, at least this is my personal feeling. One of these days I’m thinking of installing an additional flashlight, since it gets dark early here now, and sometimes standard optics are not enough.
2. The Stealth ATV 400 Hunter ATV was purchased for recreational riding on rough terrain. In principle, the car has many advantages. Among the shortcomings I would like to note is the not very good location of the wiring contacts, which are located under the seat. While driving in water one day, all the electronics of the ATV turned off, the problem was solved quickly and, fortunately, nothing burned out. The model's cross-country ability, in my opinion, is average; off-road there is a risk of getting so bogged down that even the reverse can't help. But due to its light weight, the equipment can be pushed out manually, and if not, then a winch will certainly help. The ATV handles the sand, but it’s difficult; the steering on the sand becomes heavy. Otherwise, I really liked Stealth.
