The quad market is evolving, with traditional manufacturers like Polaris, Can-Am, Yamaha, and Honda being joined by others. Think of CFMOTO, which has managed to rise to the top in recent years. We learned in recent weeks that the manufacturer AODES is entering Canada in 2024.
A Bit of History and AODES’ Mission
Based in Shandong, China, Shandong ODES Industry Co., Ltd. is a leading global manufacturer in the off-road vehicle sector with 30 years of history. Founded in 1983, the company has evolved to become a major player in the industry, offering a full range of products, including ATVs and UTVs.
The ODES (Outdoor Equipments) brand was born with the goal of becoming a globally recognized brand, with the slogan “Beyond the roads.” Today, under the AODES brand, the company focuses on off-road vehicle activities. The manufacturer has distributors and dealers in over 100 countries worldwide.
AODES is committed to providing innovative, safe, and quality products, as well as solutions and applications for work, transportation, and leisure. In this way, the manufacturer aims to offer an exceptional driving experience to users worldwide.
An Interesting Offer of ATVs
AODES Canada offers eight models of ATVs. Whether you ride solo or with a passenger, the manufacturer has a model for a wide range of uses. In fact, half of its models are two-seaters. Additionally, the fleet includes work ATVs, leisure ATVs, and even those designed for those who love very muddy trails. There is something for everyone.
Among the mechanical components that caught our attention, we first find a set of CV-TECH pulleys and three-mode electronic power steering. Next, we really like the adjustable compression and rebound shocks at the front and rebound at the rear. And finally, the 3,500 lb winch with synthetic cable.
Moreover, these ATVs come well equipped. They come standard with mirrors, handguards, a 12-volt outlet, USB ports, and much more.
At AODES Canada
Fans of side-by-side vehicles (SxS) will not be disappointed. There are seven gasoline models and two electric propulsion models. The AODES SxS fleet consists of models for work or trail riding. From the base two-passenger model with 28 HP to the fully equipped six-passenger model with 85 HP and a closed cabin, the offer is comprehensive in this market segment. Here too, you will find the same interesting mechanical components and standard features as in the ATV range.
Furthermore, the most equipped six-passenger model, the Workcross 1000-6 HVAC, includes a ventilation system, air conditioning, heated seats, a tempered glass windshield, and a windshield wiper system. Everything to ride comfortably sheltered from the weather both in summer and winter.
A Dealer Network in Development
At the time of writing, AODES Canada is actively working on establishing a dealer network. In Quebec, several companies have been approached, and we should be able to announce the first AODES dealers soon.
Until Then…
Of course, as you can imagine, the InfoQuad.com team is eager to have the opportunity to personally discover and test these side-by-sides. We invite you to visit the magazine’s website regularly to read our first tests.
Have a great summer everyone!
