    Parastorm Parastorm

    The Buggy itself is not cheap, But hey you only live once...

    It was designed by an enigineer from Williams (Kieron Bradley). Once built its a great buggy to look at with purple and blue fabrics and straps and wide wheels.

    The frame is very strong and put together in minutes with aircraft class parts. Once built the Buggy is then split in two main parts, the rear axel and the longer front half which makes trasporting it around a doodle. ( only 4 screws needed to hold it in place )

    For comfort it's easily adjusted for the longer/shorter person. Infact there is alot that can be tweaked on the buggy for most types of conditions. Wheel setups, fork setups, suspension stiffness to name a few. There is also the option to buy big foot front forks so theres the choice of upgrading wheels there too.

    The buggy has a great seat its snug and very strong and waterproof, at the back there's a big bag for carrying whatever Kite crap doesn't fit into your near exploding backpack.

    The suspension located left and right just under the back of the seat on the rear axel smooths out fields brilliantly. You could barley tell that you just ran over that poodle as you sail by.

    The only problem I have about this buggy is it does weigh a little bit which in the interest of sailing around it might be slower than most other buggies, but it far more comfortable and smooth.

    That is a great buggy. as you said it is a bit heavy but the weight help keeping it on the ground and give you the possibility to go out slightly more powered up. To be honest this buggy id the Rolls Royce of buggy. It is not done for pure speed (I still manage a 49mph) but more like cruising, long distance when comfort is needed. I love the buggy to bit it is a shame that you cannot get any more upgrade for it now that the typhoon as gone out.

    Awesome buggy, got one of these last year. Like Frog said its amazing for just cruising all the way up the coast, and darting back down again. I think there is a conversion kit for beach tires. However the one that come on it work well on the hard sand.. Get some good side motion running going on... It is heavy, so no chance of getting air.. and the suspension needs a bit of care, doesn't like sand too much.
