About this book

The book explores the technology that powers off-road vehicles, explaining how reinforced suspension systems, air-less tires, and even a parachute-equipped dune buggy allow them to survive extreme terrain. Through examples such as a dirt-bike rider soaring off a ramp and an ATV climbing rugged ground, it shows how engineers address the challenges of durability, traction, and safety. Written for middle-grade readers, the text provides a factual overview of the design innovations that enable off-road vehicles to operate in harsh environments.
