American Bantam off-road vehicles come fully equipped for off-road adventure with a removable roll-cage, removable doors, military-grade axles, alloy wheels and 35-inch all-terrain tires.

Our modern direct fuel-injected turbocharged engine with 6-speed manual transmission deliver power-to-weight and torque-to-weight ratios beat modern day off-road vehicles.
