Subject: The elk test
Posted May 21, 2001 by Martin Harper

I like that: "Failing the elk test". IE, if you turned it fairly sharply left then right, it fell over... yikes This appears to have been fixed with its Electronic Stability Programme, which basically makes it impossible to topple, no matter how hard you try, by progressively breaking different wheels. They've probably done the suspension changes you mention too, but ESP seems to be the main thing. Neat trick.

One minor comment: it would have made more sense to give the insurance class of the vehicle, rather than the cost for a 30-yr old. If I recall correctly, it's in insurance class five, it might have been three. Either way it's low... smiley
