| When the terrain is at
its ugliest, Dnepr is at its most beautiful. It can scale a 10-inch
vertical rock ledge, claw its way up a 60% grade, ford 15 inches of water,
muck or mud, and plow through two-foot snow drifts.
 Impossible? For another bike. But not
for the Dnepr. In addition to its two-weel driving suspension, the Dnepr
has 30-inch tires and a full 10 inches of ground clearance - twice as much
as any other bike. Its 50-inch track width gives it an amazingly low
center of gravity. Making the Dnepr stable enough to traverse a 40% side
slope.
Much of the Dneprs's climbing prowess
is a result of its geared hub assembly, which provides a gear reduction
not just to the bike but to the side-car both.
It can handle water so well because
the powertrain's entire gear system is sealed and completely protected
from sand, silt and muck.
A Dnepr can negotiate obstacles and
rough terrain that would be a dead end for any other civilian bike: its
heavy-duty suspension has springs much larger than an ordinary bike.
The Dnepr's sidecar gear-hub
continuously keeps the rotational
speed of two driving-wheels at its optimal. This unique system reduces
tire spin on severe terrain or slippery surfaces, allowing the
differential to redistribute torque to those wheels with traction.
Equipped with a slip torque-biasing differential, Dnepr provides the best
of reliable mechanical systems. Couple this with the Dnepr's geared hub
assembly, and there is very little terrain in the world that you can't
negotiate.
If you find these feats amazing, it's
because they are. No other civilian bike in the world comes close to doing
what a Dnepr can do. Most of civil SUVs would consider themselves lucky to
boast so much ruggedness. The Dnepr, however, houses it all within a
seemingly indestructible, heavy-duty frame. The end result is the
uncontested king of all off-road bikes.
