Buggy adventures in Dubai

Buggy adventures/Buggy adventures Dubai

The routes used for rock crawling (on extreme dune buggy in Dubai) are littered with very large boulders and these routes are often impassable on foot. Due to the technicality of rock crawling much patients is required as well as a highly specialized vehicle. Off-road vehicles used for 5 rock crawling are usually heavily modified and feature very complex long travel suspensions, mud tires usually larger than 35” in diameter, winches, and locking differentials. These vehicles (eg. buggy rental in Dubai) usually travel at a walking pace or slower hence the term “rock crawling”. Rock crawling usually doesn’t cause too much damage to the surrounding environment because all of this type of driving is performed on rocks. Rock racing is very similar to rock crawling except for the fact that in this type of off-road driving is done at high speed. In rock racing the objective is to get up the route as fast as possible, and is often done on the same routes used for rock crawling. Vehicles used for rock racing are commonly referred to as rock bouncers, which are basically a steel cage with a high horsepower engine, a coil over suspension setup, and tires with a diameter well over 40”. Rock racing can be very damaging to the environment because sometimes it is performed on hillsides and due to the level of aggression that some of the drivers drive at they can end up hitting trees and knocking them over. Also on the hill that these races are preformed very large ruts can developed and most of the time the whole slope is defaced.

Mudding is also a very popular form of off-road driving (through dune buggy rental in Dubai). Mudding is done in very wet clay or what off roaders call a bog. Usually these bogs are not found in nature and are created using earth moving equipment such as backhoes and bulldozers. The objective is to make it across the mud bog. In order to do this you need a vehicle that is either very light or has a very powerful engine. These vehicles also usually have very generous amounts of ground clearance and usually run tires well over 42”. Since the soil is so wet in mud bogs the tires tend to collect mud and sometimes throw it quite far. The most environmentally damaging type of off-roading (through buggy for rent in Dubai) is dune bashing. Dune bashing is done in deserts or areas where large sand dunes are present. Vehicles used in this type of off-roading are also very specialized machines they are usually extremely light and usually use a very large engine. The reason why dune bashing is the most environmentally unfriendly method of off-roading during offroad dune buggy in Dubai is because of the tires most vehicles run. The tire they run is called a paddle tire which is a smaller sized tire but the tread on them are long spoon shaped tread that cup the sand to get traction. The high horsepower engine and paddle tires allow these vehicles to move large amounts of sand with relative ease.
