Born in Western Australia

Australia is a country that loves off-roading. It’s home to famous annual events like the point-to-point Tatts Finke desert race. There, drivers consistently record some of the highest average race speeds of any off-road event in the world. Vast open spaces and arid landscapes make the Australian Outback a haven for off-roaders.

The Edge Products is based in Perth, Western Australia, the hometown of Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo. It has designed and manufactured off-road recreational vehicles, from go-karts to high-performance single- and two-seat race buggies, since 1989.

The XR2 is the top performer in The Edge Products’ lineup. It’s engineered to handle extraordinary speeds over the Outback’s punishing terrain.

This Thing Is Fast

What makes the X2R such a high-speed go-getter? Its 1,400-pound tubular space frame chassis is powered by a 2006 Honda CBR1000RR engine that cranks out 172 horsepower. Match that with massive Fox Factory 2.5-inch coilover shocks and 29-inch-tall Maxxis tires, and the result is a formidable high-speed desert weapon.

The seller writes:

This thing is fast. I had it to 70 mph in third gear, which was fast enough for me. Going 35 to 45 mph on rough trails is very doable.

The Edge Products manufactures chassis, suspension parts, brake rotors, and other components in-house. Each tubular frame, roll cage structure, and floor complies with Australian Auto-Sport Alliance (AASA) safety regulations. These regulations closely align with the stringent FIA and SCORE safety specifications.

Stopping Power

All four of the X2R’s wheels have four-piston Wilwood brake calipers that squeeze 312-mm floating rotors. The CBR1000RR engine transfers horsepower through a motorcycle gearbox, chain drive, and 930 CV axles. The result is a bomb-proof drivetrain made to tackle harsh desert conditions at high speeds.

The Edge Products X2R is perfect for an off-road enthusiast looking for a terrain-tackling off-road buggy proven in the harsh Australian Outback. It’s a race-compliant machine that turns heads as it smokes the competition. Top job, Edge Products, you’re fair dinkum legends.
