R82s

The R82s (Rorty 8 series, 2seater) utilises automotive engineering grade materials – not just bits of black pipe and old quad and car parts!

The R82s is a design for those looking for all the thrills of a single-seater bike powered race buggy, but with the addition of a passenger/navigator’s seat, and yes it can be built right or left hand drive!

The suspension offers huge amounts of travel and the stable chassis design incorporates a longer wheel base and wider track than in previous models. This is the ideal pre-runner or play buggy for high speed trail chasing or dune running.
