This website is now one of
the most visited (if not the most visited) Quad/ATV and
Leisure vehicle websites in the UK following an extensive
survey of our visitors. This has no doubt been due to the
continuous development of the site to include more news,
views, more pictures than ever before, plus the new video
clips, and all the information you need to know about owning
an Apache. Also the addition of the Apache Service Centre
offering collection and delivery to maintain your Apache
in tip top condition, and the Apache Repair Centre: our
'Test & Try Days' and more recently the 'Apache Experience'
Days'. Visitors to the site have grown incredibly just over
the past 12 months, and page views have more than quadrupled,
so that makes us feel that our efforts here are worthwhile.
But... if there's anything you'd like to see here, please
do drop us a line at sales@apachequads.com.

Apache is thrilled
to announce that it has signed up and coming junior racing
star, Callum Corrigan to ride the Apache F100 Junior Quad
on the UK race circuit for the 2008 season.
10 year old Callum from Sheffield has been
competing on the junior race circuit for two years and has
certainly made an impression on the track. Amongst his many
2007 successes, he came 3rd in Quad Heaven’s Standard
Class MX Championships, and a highly credible 4th in the
modified NETT ACU Championship.
The lucrative sponsorship deal means that Callum will be
riding ultra high performance Apache F100’s, which
are full race tuned, and race prepared, to give him every
chance of success for the coming season.
Managing Director Richard Latham said “We are thrilled
to have signed Callum for the coming season and this further
strengthens our commitment to seriously enter into the quad
racing scene in the UK.
posted 15/02/08 |
Callum’s skill and talent is clear
for all to see and with the super Apache F100’s
and with the backing of his highly experienced and knowledgeable
family, we are in no doubt that he will be hugely successful
this season”.
In addition to Callum as ‘Race Rider’,
older brother and junior champion Jordan Corrigan will
be the official ‘test rider’ for the Apache
F100.

The
latest road legal quad from Quads Direct Ltd,
- the Apache RLX 320 - already hailed as one
of the best new launches this year, is set
to re-define the UK market. No other quad
of this calibre offers so much in terms of
its top quality value for money and huge specification.
And its no co-incidence that the name chosen
for the gleaming paintwork is Ferrari Red.
On or off the road, the performance of the
RLX 320 CVT is exhilarating.
