Stels 800 Guepard G (Stealth Cheetah) - a completely domestic ATV

The Stealth Cheetah G 800 ATV appeared on the market in December 2014, but even before that it became famous.

The debut of this model became a real sensation on the domestic market.

Even famous brands that were previously popular in the CIS countries are greatly amazed by such an interesting concept.

Chinese and other all-terrain vehicles are not selling in smaller numbers on the ATV market, but our auto industry has finally proven that it has something to show.

Features and luxurious design of the model

The main feature of this ATV is its origin.

The Ural Wolf motorcycle was also positioned as a domestic unit, and as a result, the insides of the bike were almost entirely foreign.

But with the Stels 800 Guepard everything is different. several years ago, even before various crises and problems, it began to massively purchase new equipment, spending huge amounts of money on it.

This seemed absurd to many, but when all other companies could not cope with the competition and folded, the Velomotors developers released an excellent ATV, comparable to many foreign analogues .

Interesting fact: Stels 800 Guepard G was assembled in Bryansk.

The exterior of the model is a separate issue. Usually there is no originality in the Russian automobile industry, which is a pity.

However, the developers from Velomotors really amazed everyone with Stealth Cheetah.

The stylish case is fraught with many pleasant parameters:

• Modern look;
• Original image;
• The chassis of the all-terrain vehicle is made of steel;
• The ATV has adult and truly masculine dimensions.

There are no particularly aggressive elements in the design; everything looks quite harmonious .

The ground clearance of the ATV is 32 cm of free space, so at first glance it is clear that the Stels 800 Guepard will allow you to comfortably overcome a variety of obstacles .

On such a metal monster, any person will feel omnipotent.

It’s also nice that you can choose the coloring for yourself. There are options:

• Black;
• White;
• Yellow (the most common for this model);
• Military in beige tones (this equipment is paid).

The Yamaha XV 950 Bolt motorcycle is perfect as a first experience, as the controls are intuitive.

ATV STELS ATV 800G GUEPARD

NEW IN OUR MOTOR SHOWROOM!

Cheetah 800 is the result of a decision to improve the reliability and quality of equipment, and the stability of the supply of spare parts. To achieve this, the company began to move away from producing ATVs from Chinese components. ATV 800G became the second ATV under the STELS brand, completely developed and manufactured at the Zhukovsky MotoVelozavod in the Bryansk region . The development of the Cheetah ATV was carried out in the Izhevsk bureau of the STELS company .

Specifications

The design of the ATV is distinguished by pleasant ergonomics , which is noticeable even to people who are not very technically versed.
The only thing that seems a little boring is the chair.

It is painfully reminiscent of its Canadian counterparts, but let’s not complain about the developers. After all, they also need to draw inspiration from somewhere.

The chassis does not shine with originality of design, but it is executed to perfection : at the front and rear there are independent double A-arms with shock absorbers (spring-hydraulic).

The cross-country ability of the Stels 800 Guepard is very enviable, and given the excellent suspension and controllability of the unit, any trip on it will bring only joy.

The suspension performs almost perfectly: much softer than most Chinese models, but does not sags in terms of elasticity.

In this price category, you simply cannot find a better cost/quality ratio . Although, of course, there is room to grow.

Test drive of the Stels ATV800G Guepard ATV: the most Russian beast

The answer came six months later. The crisis broke out, and then I realized that it was like I was looking into water! Now, when many are curtailing their activities in Russia, BRP and other foreign brands are raising prices almost twice, Velomotors is bringing to the market a new ATV, almost entirely created at the company’s own plant near Bryansk.

Really Russian ATV

In the recent history of the country, solemn slogans have been heard more than once that “we have created a completely domestic quad bike.” In fact, it turned out that the only completely domestic ones on the quads were nameplates with frame numbers and operating instructions. Basically, these were car kits from the Middle Kingdom, to which wheels were screwed and stickers were glued. At best, they “invented” and hung up their plastic.

By the way, this is also where Velomotors, which produces equipment under the Stels brand, started. The factory workers themselves admit that the experience was negative: it was impossible to control the quality of parts and components, and the quality of assembly, both “over there” and “here,” suffered. All this led to the fact that the brand did not have the most positive image among customers. Basically, this was the impetus for starting work on creating our own product, the quality of which you can influence and for the quality of which you can be responsible.

All this background is here in order to present the much-awaited new product and the first-born of the company, which is created here from the first sketch to the control check of tire pressure.

Sales of the Stels ATV800G Guepard ATV have started, and we were lucky enough to test, albeit briefly, the first pilot copies of the series. What distinguishes these specimens from completely production cars is their “training”, very fragile plastic, which, as can be seen in the photo, could not resist communication with journalists for long. In addition, there were slight differences in engine and shock absorber settings. The rest of the cars are completely stock.

Exterior

Do we meet based on clothes? Of course, we have already seen prototypes, photos, videos and even live at exhibitions many times and have become a little accustomed to this image, nevertheless, the quadric, in my opinion, turned out to be stunningly beautiful and modern. In contrast to what is traditional for our country, “the model was outdated even before it went into production.” The design developed at the Velomotors Design Bureau in Izhevsk is truly modern, moderately aggressive and original. It doesn’t look like anything we know, and that’s really cool, because people on the street recognize it not by its nameplate, but by its familiar “family” features. Now Stealth has them too.

Estimated cost

The model was first announced in 2011 , and was able to intrigue a lot of people.

Even the prototype of the model shown at the exhibition turned out late. Don't even talk about serial assembly.

However, thanks to the careful elaboration of all kinds of details, the ATV really turned out to be soulful .

Much has been improved, from the body to the driving characteristics.

The only thing that, in our humble opinion, did not deserve changes were the brakes, which could have been better.

A new model can cost $8,500-9,000, while used units are still not easy to buy.

The point is that the 2014 model cannot become obsolete that quickly.

The two-seater rear-wheel drive Irbis 250 ATV can be used on any terrain at any time of the year.

The first thing that catches your eye when you see this ATV is its modern, original design, made in a sporty style.

Engine

The engine for the Stealth ATV 800G GUEPARD ST (Cheetah) was created over the course of 3 years. The best engineers of the Zhukovsky bicycle and motor plant worked on it. Externally, the engine resembles the engine of BRP ATVs. In fact, it is more powerful than it, develops more torque and has connections for external crankcase heating, which is especially appreciated by those who like to ride in the frosty winter.

The price of a two-cylinder engine is higher than that of a single-cylinder engine, but the former develops a power of 67 horsepower and pulls well throughout the entire rev range. If you accelerate to 90 km/h, the acceleration does not end at all! At the same time, the reliability of the motor turned out to be excellent; it is not without reason that the manufacturers provide a three-year warranty for the Stels ATV 800G GUEPARD ST (Cheetah) ATV.

Other benefits

Another advantage of the Cheetah 800G from Stealth is comfort. The soft suspension and comfortable seat, which, by the way, is made at the same factory that makes saddles for Harley-Davidson and Can-Am motorcycles, will make your ride a pleasure.

The unit looks very attractive. Even the exhaust pipe is made of stainless steel. In Moscow you can also buy many accessories that the manufacturer produces specifically for the Stels ATV 800G GUEPARD ST (Cheetah). We offer them at attractive prices.
