Viking EPS

The high-torque 686cc single-cylinder engine produces plenty of controllable power for effective off-road transportation. For added confidence on slippery downhill slopes the Ultramatic® transmission features an engine braking function - while the 2WD, 4WD and Diff-lock modes can be quickly selected to suit different surface conditions.

The reliable 686cc 4-stroke single-cylinder engine features an advanced Electronic Fuel Injection system that ensures efficient combustion for good throttle response. Together with the forged piston and pent roof combustion chamber design, the EFI enables the Viking engine to produce gutsy torque at low rpm with strong high rpm performance.

The Viking is designed to be used on a wide variety of surfaces, and the 3-mode On-Command® system offers 2WD, 4WD or 4WD with Diff-lock options to suit different terrain and weather conditions. The simple rotary-type switch enables the driver to select their chosen drive mode in seconds.

For responsive handling combined with a comfortable ride for all 3 people on board, the Viking is equipped with independent double wishbone suspension at the front and rear. This rugged system allows each wheel to follow the terrain and maintain traction on extremely rough ground, allowing you to traverse extreme landscapes.

The low noise cabin features an innovative 3-seat layout with a central seat inclined 5 degrees further back than the outer seats, giving each passenger more arm and shoulder room. There's also a flat walk-though floor that gives easy access and also allows the driver to step in from either side.

For easy operation the Viking is equipped with a central instrument console, while the electric starter switch, shift lever and handbrake are located to the right of the 3-spoke steering wheel. And for added comfort and safety there's a foot space partition to prevent the central passenger's feet from interfering with the driver's feet.

Even with 3 passengers and a full cargo load on board, the Electric Power Steering (EPS) ensures that the steering feels light even when fully laden or when driving in heavy soils like clay. When 4WD with Diff-lock is selected the EPS switches automatically to a second program designed to optimize the steering characteristics.

The Viking has been designed to be robust and easy to maintain, and the location of the engine beneath the cargo bed makes it possible to gain access to the powerplant in seconds. Together with the easily accessible front-mounted components located under the hood lid, the Viking's design ensures that routine service times and costs are competitive.
