525 XC ATV: The cross-country champion

Lights, mirrors and registration capability underline this ATV's suitability for use on public roads. Nevertheless, the Enduro-Quad 525 XC is a fully-fledged sports machine that has set new standards in the cross-country scene. With extremely powerful performance and perfect handling, it is an offroad powerhouse on four wheels, bursting with energy, very lightweight and unrivalled. Not least due to the extensive standard equipment, the 525 XC has won unanimous approval from quad fans.
Engine
The 525 XC's powerful, liquid-cooled four-stroke, single-cylinder engine, featuring an extremely wide usable rev range, with a close-ratio, five-speed transmission, hydraulic clutch and proven 34 mm (1.34 in) Keihin carburettor. All of which guarantees progressive, vigorous power development thanks to a throttle positioning sensor.
Electric starter
The 525 XC's small lightweight electric starter activates the four-stroke single cylinder reliably and quickly - for example, when tether switch attached to the rider has disconnected the ignition circuit, because things have become too hectic in the race again.
Front-axle camber and caster, rear-axle track, suspension components
The 525 XC's chassis can be set for various types of use and different types of course. Camber and caster on the front axle are just as variable as the track on the rear. On the shock absorbers, the compression and rebound damping are adjustable, as well as the spring preload.

Brakes
Outstanding performance demands top-quality brakes. At the front of the 525 XC, four-piston fixed-caliper brakes from Magura, unique in the ATV world, bite hard into two huge wave discs. Braided steel brake lines all-round also come as standard.
Including Headlights
Thanks to homologation for use on public roads, the 525 XC is the leader of the pack, not only off-road. Aside from lights and mirrors, the corresponding equipment includes a comfortable seat and a 13.4 l (14.2 qt.) long-range fuel tank to reduce the frequency of breaks when out on tour.
