E.-ATV Racing GmbH, which is a company managed by its proprietor, was founded in 2002 by
Clemens Eicker in Neukirchen-Vluyn, Nordrhein-Westfalen. They are specialised in the
development and production of high-quality quads. These kinds of vehicles, which had been
offered on the market by then, were mostly manufactured in America or Asia. Although they
didn't match the requirements of Clemens Eicker referring to manufacturing quality and ability
to be used for racing sports, they enjoyed great popularity on local markets not only as sports
equipment but also as a vehicle for leisure time and hobby.
From the beginning E.-ATV decided on a partnership with the Austrian motorbike manufacturer
KTM. The reliability of the motors and the high level of production were essential elements for
Clemens Eicker and spoke in their favour. From the start these quads have been in great
demand because of the combination of selected KTM serial parts and in-house development
of E.-ATV. In 2003 the company presented the Extreme 950 and short after that the 990 and
made, as the world's first quad manufacturer, a step in the direction "1-l-class" which they
exceeded congruously with releasing the RC8 1190. In the subsequent years E.-ATV achieved
numerous sportive successes in the categories Motocross, Enduro, Rally and Supermoto with
not only national and international championship titles but also respectable positioning at the
Rallye Dakar.
Impressed by the great success, KTM charged in 2005 the German company with supporting
the development of a KTM Quad. In 2008 the time had come: KTM released two models: the
XC 450 and the XC 525. Nearly one year later they presented two further models: the SX 450
and the SX 505. And then in 2010 the unexpected "Game Over". KTM withdrew from the quad
market.
E.-ATV, however, kept on booming. Meanwhile the range of models comprised quads of 85
ccm up to 1195 ccm displacement with engines of the KTM models SX, EXC, LC-4 and LC-
8.When the American and Asian products started catching up noticeably with the quality of the
German company in 2007, E.-ATV had already achieved the premium status. No other
company could offer serial vehicles for such an all-round use and of such a high-quality like it
always has been standard for E.-ATV. And even up to now! However, the quads from
Neukirchen-Vluyn shouldn't only be suitable for racing sports but also for using on the public
streets. That's why E.-ATV vehicles have always been up to the MOT regulations.
In the beginning of 2009 E.-ATV expanded their production rooms which inured to the benefit
of the motor and suspension sector. The long standing experience with KTM engines enables
E.-ATV today to respond to the customers' requests - from the repair of the crank shaft to the
point of the adaptation of the modern injection pumps.
