The Sherp ATV Proves it's Sometimes Okay to Meet Your Heroes
The Sherp ATV Proves it's Sometimes Okay to Meet Your Heroes-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:08

In 2015 Sherp began construction on this wild unstoppable ATV, and it quickly found fans on the internet for its go-anywhere abilities. This monster two-seater isn’t exactly fast, but it won’t be held back by rocks, snow, mud, or a lake. With a Sherp you can drive as the crow flies instead of having to take pesky roads. But, it can’t be that good in real life, can it?

Hell yeah, it can.

Would you like to go wherever the hell you want? Using its self-inflated tires, Russia’s SHERP ATV…

Friend of Jalopnik, Matt Farah, had an opportunity to drive the wild all-terrain Sherp earlier this year in lovely cold Minnesota. Matt isn’t one to pull punches when it comes to cars. If something is terrible, he’ll let you know. If something is off-the-wall bonkerballs awesome, you can hear it in his voice. It’s possible that this is the most fun anyone has had driving under 30 miles per hour.

How does this mountain goat of a car manage to climb over everything without suspension or even mechanical steering? Big ass tires, lots of torque, and a positive mental attitude. The steering is actually done through the differential, turning like a skid-steer front end loader.

There aren’t many things that would cause me to drive headlong into a frozen lake, but if I were driving a Sherp, I’d make it to the other side unscathed.
