Best Atomik ATVs
great cheap bike – have owned for 12 months had a few teething problems but it is a great bike well worth the money (I put it together my self so it is not hard to do … Read more
Just remember to check every nut and bolt and you will be right)
I put new rubber on not long after buying as the ones it comes with are not much good.
Have been using it on property and is the bike of choice for most things.
If there is a complaint it is that the plastic guards are not very thick and have to be fixed every once in a while.
well worth a look at this bike.
Worst bike ever owned – We brought our grandson a Atomic 150 Feral ATV bike and it would have to the biggest load of dung ever. We spend more time fixing it then he does… Read more

No filter on fuel system and Float sticks open when not in use sump and exchust systems fills with fuel VERY VERY Dangerious Would never recommend Atomic ATV to anyone. Especially for children

great goer, rough rider – I have owned my Atomik Frontier for 3 years now and it still runs as well as the day i bought it! It has been used as a recreational bike, doing jobs… Read more
such as towing, carrying, racing and high-speed runs, but mainly low-rpm use.
Pro's:
Handling; has surprised me with levels of grip.
Capability; has climbed up many muddy and slippery hills, hard to get bogged, especially since both rear wheels are constantly locked.
Fuel Consumption: Can go surprisingly far on one tank, yet no reserve.
Power; great for recreational use, plenty for a good time!
Stopping Distance; fantastic, pulls up really well, but after a few years there is a brake issue (below).
Durability; runs like clockwork, but rugged and reliable.
Price; I paid only $1000 AUD for mine! Can't go wrong!
And now for the Con's:
Clutch; Does not last! Always keep a spare one or two around, they go like hot cakes, 10 minute job to fix though.
Brakes; the rears have almost completely gone, pads and disc in great condition, unaware of problem. The front brakes have a locking brake fitted but when locked on for a period of about 3 minutes the bike just rolls down the driveway! It is a problem not caused by leaks in the system nor a release of the brake-lock. As soon as the lock is released, all you have to do is pump the brakes twice and they work (again).
Suspensions; The front suspension is far to stiff, and the rear shock absorber just went, causing for an amazingly bouncy (yet hilariously fun) ride, but not one for somebody who wants a comfortable quad.
Bearings; often go in rear axel, resulting in disintegration of the bearings themselves. An easy yet time consuming fix. Is a problem that one cannot avoid since the bike has no diff, so both rear wheels are having to spin at the same time around corners, over-stressing the system.
Headlights: Absolute suicide at night, you might as well strap candles to it.
Brake light; A third of the L.E.D lights have stopped working.
Electrics design: I have done some custom work around the electrics housing (under the front 'bonnet') so as through deep water and thick dust so as water, mud, clay, dust, etc. doesn't get into the electrical system.
Overall: A great bike (especially for the price!), plenty of power and torque, reliable (so far) and has it's occasional issues. Everyone who rides it loves it, and so will you! I would most recommend this quad if you have some jobs around the property and/or if you just want a great, fun time.
