ONEST Riders’ new Action
Riding Leggings have been
designed so riders can hit
the yard without hitting
the planet. As per all
Honest Riders’ apparel, there’s no
compromise on quality either.
The new high waisted, squat proof
leggings are midweight and made
using a shrink-free four way stretch
recycled polyester blend that
contains recycled plastic, in fact,
it’s estimated that the equivalent
of five plastic bottles go into each
pair. They feature the company’s
‘just right’ grip on the inner thigh,
reinforced seams, generous secure
phone pockets, mesh ankles, and
they’re hardwearing too, making
them perfect for yard life.
“These new leggings have been
a true labour of love as we’ve
reviewed every detail in making
sure they exceed our customers’
expectations,” said Zoe Kiff, founder
of Honest Riders.
“We have deliberated over the
exact positioning of the grip to
make sure riders feel secure without
feeling stuck, made them squat
proof by using a thicker material;
and we’ve made them stylish and
flattering too with the high waist
that also has shaping in all the right
places. I’ve been living in these and
they are great for whatever activity
I’m doing.”
Action Riding Leggings are
available in sizes 6-18 in grey, black
and navy. They cost £59 per pair.

AMAHA has launched a new
range of all-terrain vehicles
(ATVs) and recreational off-road
vehicles (ROVs). New special editions
of the Kodiak 450 and 700 ATVs are
both available with two tone paint
work and alloy wheels, whilst the
Grizzly ATV can now be specified
with exclusive graphics and 27-inch
Zilla Maxxis tyres on 14-inch cast
aluminium wheels.
For the first time Yamaha is
offering customers the opportunity
to specify their own ATV and ROV
using a digital configurator. “The
configurator enables customers to
personalise a Yamaha product by
choosing accessories and paintwork
options. Once happy with the
specification the customer can
request a quotation and share
it with a dealer of their choice
to source their vehicle,” explains
Yamaha ATV manager William Kay.
The Yamaha Kodiak 450 ATV
features diff lock as standard
on all electric power steering
(EPS) models and Ultramatic
transmission, throughout the
range, which maintains tension
on the drive belt to provide a
consistent throttle response. The
rider is also able to automatically
switch between 2WD, 4WD and diff
lock settings with the push of a
button.
Yamaha has committed to fitting
Warn VRX 25 winches as standard
on all Kodiak and Grizzly ATVs.
The 15-metre winch has a 1,134-kilo
pulling capacity and a rocker switch
mounted to the handlebar. “We are
also one of just two manufacturers
offering a tracker free of charge
on all new ATVs,” says Mr Kay. “A
Datatool Stealth S5 device will be
supplied free of charge with new
ATV models to offer farmers safety,
security and peace of mind,” he adds.
Yamaha has kept the

design of its ATVs in the new models
to offer farmers machines that are
easier to manoeuvre in, and through,
tight spaces. “We understand
farmers need a stable ATV, but we
don’t believe this should come at the
cost of versatility. It is important that
an ATV can go anywhere, and our
streamlined design enables riders to
pass through tight gates and operate
in small spaces,” says Mr Kay.
The new 2022 ROV range includes
the Viking three-seater which has a
686cc engine, switchable 2WD/4WD,
electric power steering and a tipping
cargo bed that can carry loads up to
272kg. “ROVs are an economical way
to transport both people and goods
around a farm and are growing in
popularity,” he explains.
The new four seat
Wolverine RMAX has a
high performance 998cc
engine, hydraulically
assisted tilting cargo
bed and a heavy-duty
Warn 2,000 kilo winch.
“The Wolverine is
both practical and
comfortable and
is an excellent tool
for a diverse farming
operation, especially
those that have diversified into farm
leisure,” he says.
