East Tennessee ATV & Equipment offers Bombardier line of ATVs

From Staff Reports

   East Tennessee ATV & Equipment, 500 Railroad St., is a dealer for the Bombardier line of ATVs. Jason Clawson and his father, Eddie Clawson, own the business.
   Bombardier Recreational Products announced in January 2003 that the Bombardier(TM) Outlander(TM) 400 H.O. 4X4 ATV had been named 2003 ATV of the Year by ATV Magazine, the world's largest All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) industry publication.
   "This marks the Outlander's second ATV of the Year honor by a major ATV publication since its launch," stated a news release on the company's Web site (bombardier-atv.com). "Bombardier's newest entry into the highly competitive ATV market was chosen over new models from all major competitors, including the 2003 Honda Rincon.
   "The Outlander fits our ATV of the Year award criteria better than any other ATV. It brings innovative engineering to a category of ATVs that is longing for improvement. It offers consumers a level of comfort and performance never before available at this price," said Glenn Hansen, Editor of ATV Magazine.
   "Our goal in creating a vehicle for the 300 and 400cc segments, which are the heart of the ATV market, was to establish a game-changing ATV," Chris Dawson, Vice President, Marketing, Snowmobiles, Watercraft and ATVs, said. "This ATV had to redefine consumers' expectations for a fun ride and comfort over tough terrain. These two 'ATV of the Year' honors clearly establish that, with the Outlander, we have achieved what we set out to do."
   The Outlander 400 H.O. and 330 H.O. models offer advanced technology and are ideal for consumers who want a sporty look and a comfortable, superior ride in a lightweight package, the news release states. "Powered by a reliable new, high performance Rotaxreg. 4-TEC(TM) engine, the Outlander introduced the highly innovative TTITM (Trailing Torsional Independent) rear suspension that provides superior ride comfort over a broad range of terrain and conditions. This system significantly improves rider comfort by repositioning the two independent pivot points so that the rear wheels travel in a predictable straight 'up-and-down' line when encountering bumps."
   East Tennessee ATV and Equipment also has the Bombardier two-seater ATVs.
   In addition to the Bombardier ATVs, East Tennessee ATV and Equipment has equipment to meet various needs. Cargo ATVs are used for farming and hunting. PUG all-terrain vehicles can be custom-built for use by fire departments and rescue squads. PUGs come in the following series: Badlands, Back Forty and Wilderness.
   The Scorpion tractor series includes the T300, T450 and T580. The T300 and T450 come equipped with Kubota engines, while the T580 is powered by a John Deere engine. Star Loaders are engineered and designed exclusively for the Scorpion Series Tractors.
   Compact tractors, rear mounted finishing mowers, and a variety of farm implements are also available at East Tennessee ATM and Equipment.
   All new equipment sold by East Tennessee ATM and Equipment comes with a warranty, and the company also does repair work.
