'Yo all When you've seen one Japanese dirt bike, you've seen them all. Water-cooled engines, maintenance intensive power valves, rear wheel-mounted disc brakes and complicated shock linkages. Scramble the logos, change the colors and even their own mothers couldn't tell these bikes apart. . . AtATK, we knew there must be a better way. So we built a better bike. And kept it simple. No technology forthe sake of technology. Instead of the bulk of a water-cooled engine, ATK gives you the super-dependable, air-cooled Rotax power plant. No power valves to mess with. No radiator, no hoses, nothing to gethotabout. Our unique rear brake features a lightweight counter-shaft disc that saves five pounds of unsprung rear wheel weight. Five pounds. Japa a ike. Plus, ourside-mounted, maintenance-free rear shock combined withourpatented Anti Chain Torque Eliminator led Cycle World to conclude that, "the suspension isalmost magical." And instead of putting the'air filter under the seat, in theway of-shocks and chains, we've elevated ourone-of-a-kind Snorkel system up behind the front number plate. So you'll keep running smoothly while the competition's busy playing submarine. At ATK we make it simple. We make it work, We make it win. . Remember when American-made meant . innovative, original, bigger and better? ~=:,~ ~"'"~~ City ofCo mmerce, ca 90022 (213) 722-8880 A MOT O Re Y C L E S
