SHARMAX Single Seater Quad Bike
A step up from the COBRA on the same fenced beginner track. The SHARMAX gives you more engine and a slightly bigger chassis — ideal if you've ridden something similar before or the COBRA felt a touch tame. Same supervised boundary, same no-license rule, same automatic CVT. Age 14+, helmet + goggles included.
What is the SHARMAX Single Seater Quad Bike?
The SHARMAX Single Seater is a step-up ATV in the beginner class — more engine than the COBRA, same fenced beginner loop at Liwa. Automatic CVT transmission (no clutch, no gears), thumb-lever throttle on the right handlebar, hand-lever brakes. You still ride inside a marked perimeter with on-track staff watching from elevated positions, but the pace feels a little more serious than COBRA.
Good fit for riders who've done a COBRA lap before and want more, teens 14+ who are comfortable on a bicycle or scooter, and adults who ride off-road occasionally at home but don't want to commit to the open deep-desert route yet. No driving license required — off-road on private desert land.
Price is quote on request per rider for 30 minutes. 1-hour and 2-hour sessions available on WhatsApp. Helmet, goggles, fuel, briefing and on-track supervision all included.

Certified Guides, Inspected Fleet
Every quad in our Liwa fleet is operated under DTCM licensing. Each machine is inspected before every session by our fleet team — brakes, throttle cable, tire pressure and fuel. Every rider wears a DOT-approved helmet and anti-sand goggles — non-negotiable.
Lead guides are MEAI-certified off-road instructors. They ride ahead on a Raptor, pick the safe line through soft sand and avoid hidden drops. Group speed is set to match the least experienced rider. If you raise a hand the whole group stops, no questions. First-aid kit in every vehicle.

- 🧴 Sunscreen SPF 30+
- 🧣 Light buff or scarf for wind/sand protection
