Meet the Sherp ATV and it’s incredible abilities.
There are many specialized off-road vehicles out there, but it’s not often we see something as well thought out as the Sherp ATV.
Most Extreme All-Terrain Vehicles On The Planet
When Sherp sat down to design the ultimate ATV, the brief was simple. In fact, the brief was to build in simplicity. The ATV had to be easy to repair with minimal tools and have minimal electrical components to go wrong. It also needed to go absolutely anywhere, including through swamps and forest floors full of deadfall, and across the water or sand dunes.

Fleet Of Sherp ATVs Take Over Chicago As Kanye West Launches New Shoe
The Sherp ATV is one of the most intriguing vehicles on sale anywhere in the world and during the launch of the YZY QNTM shoes from Kanye West, the rapper and producer brought a fleet of Sherps to the streets of Chicago.
Videos from the launch of the sneakers show a handful of Sherp models all painted black cruising down a host of Chicago’s city streets looking utterly bizarre. We’ve seen heaps of videos of the Sherp tackling intense off-road challenges but this is one of the first times we’ve seen them being driven on public roads. Jaw-dropping doesn’t even begin to describe them.
EVERYTHING YOU’VE EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT KANYE’S BIZARRE “YEEZY MOBILES”
Kanye is known to run a fleet of futuristic, all-black ATVs at his 4000-acre ranch in Cody, Wyoming – as shown in his “Closed on Sunday” video. The all-terrain vehicles are from a Ukrainian company called SHERP and they’re not your typical off-roader.

Sherp vehicles, the company says, are built for “extreme operational conditions” and are used by oil and rescue workers, hunters, and “thrill seekers.” They take the term “all terrain” to the next level, with the ability to climb over three-foot-tall obstacles, ascend 35-degree gradients, drive for 115 hours without refueling, and cruise across open water if need be.

Kanye West Gifted 2 Chainz Massive Customized ATV and He’s Loving It
It’s Virgo season. So, it is only right that Kanye West gave G.O.O.D. Music’s extravagant earth sign something rare and expensive.
On Tuesday, 2 Chainz took to Instagram to show off the below apocalyptic vehicle given to him by Yeezy.
World’s greatest snow machines
The Sherp ATV is the epic snow machine for buyers seeking the best bang-for-the-buck option. It looks like something you’d find in your kid’s toy box but it’s at least as capable as any of the vehicles on this list. The huge tires allow it to drive over reasonably tall obstacles like snow banks while a fully sealed body lets it float on water – you can, theoretically, drive it over a frozen lake and not have to worry about falling through the ice. Don’t take our word for it, though.
The Sherp uses a Kubota-sourced diesel engine bolted to a five-speed manual gearbox. It can keep moving with only two wheels and, if the elements gain the upper hand, it’s spacious enough to accommodate for four full-sized beds.
Steven Smith: The Guru Helping Kanye West Design His Yeezy Empire
You’re a car guy. What’s it like being in a Sherp?
Oh god, I love the Sherps. I drive him at the ranch all the time.
What’s it like bringing them from Wyoming and having them in the streets of Chicago? How epic was that?
It was epic. Because we’re on the ranch, it’s just freedom, you just roll wherever—you can’t really wreck anything with them because they’ve got the big balloon tires, they float on water. They’re slow, but having them here was really cool because you’re in the city environment, like urban assault. We had the police with us so it’s like we had free reign to go anywhere in them and it was just cool. We just didn’t know if we were going to get down certain side streets and things because they’re so wide, [they might] take off somebody’s mirrors or something like, “Oops, sorry.” But yeah, they’re so much fun. And it was cool being able to deliver something back to Chicago and Kanye’s hometown, and just do something special. It was all last minute planning and we just show up and go, people are like, “Where are you going to be next?” I’m like, “I don’t know. I just go along for the ride.” I was asked if I wanted to go, and I’m like, “Absolutely, that’d be cool.” So the Sherps are fun. And then, I like the Ripsaw tank. I think that’s my favorite, because it’ll go 80 miles an hour and it’s borderline frightening because you can die at it, which I like. I like that thrill. But yeah, Kanye has got the best toys for us. That keeps you inspired.
The best cars, SUVs, and vans to bug out in a disaster or emergency
Born to tackle Siberia, the tundra-wise Sherp ATV is the ultimate all-terrain vehicle because it keeps moving through mud, snow, water (it floats!), and obstacles that would leave other 4x4s stranded. It was designed to survive just about anything nature can throw at it, so it keeps going even if the road doesn’t. The trade-off is that it’s powered by a Kubota-developed, 44-horsepower turbodiesel engine that limits its top speed to 25 mph. It weighs only 2,800 pounds, a figure that makes it about as heavy as a Mini Cooper, so it can be towed with relative ease.

SHERP ATV Can Save Lives In Dangerous Conditions
SHERP ATV is bred for the outdoors. Its wheels are buoyant and its hermetically-sealed body prevents water from entering the cabin. The SHERP is able to save lives in hostile conditions such as ice, mud, and deep water.
Go to the sourceThe Sherp ATV is the life-size Tonka truck you’ve been craving since childhood
The Sherp can basically go anywhere it pleases, whether it be snow, ice, mud, sand, or as the video above shows, the open water. When it’s not swimming through a frigid lake, the ATV can scale objects up to 27.5 inches tall and even use a skid steer system to turn within its own wheelbase. It even manages to look kind of adorable while doing it.

Chris Brown claims Kanye West has bought him a TANK truck as he poses with the new vehicle outside his home
Chris Brown has revealed Kanye West has gifted him with a luxury tank trunk.
The singer, 31, took to Instagram on Tuesday and shared a photo of himself posing on top of the tank outside his home.
Chris claimed the truck was a gift from none other than Kanye, 43, himself as he captioned the photo: ‘THANK YOU KANYE ❤️ @kanyewest’.
Kanye West has entered the giving mood early this holiday season, and the lucky recipient (and owner of a brand new Sherp ATV) is none other than Chris Brown.
According to Kanye’s manager, Bu Thiam, this was Yeezy’s way of thanking Chris for his 20-year career in the entertainment industry and his many achievements.
“Ye wanted to honor CB & give him his flowers while he’s still alive,” Thiam says on Instagram. “So he gifted him a Yeezy Sherp, congratulating him on 20 years in the game.”
Kanye West Gifts 2 Chainz a SHERP “YEEZY Mobile” for his Birthday
Developed in Kyiv, Ukraine, the SHERP can fit up to 9 people and has a loading capacity of 2,645 lbs, an approach clearance of three feet, can run in water/mud, travel up to 25mph, and is powered by an eco-friendly Doosan D18 engine that provides 55hp/41kW of power. Regarded as the ultimate ATV, the SHERP can often be found in the frigid oil fields of Canada.
The gifted ATV was presented with a custom plaque that read: “For 2 Chainz,” followed by an inscription of Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
SHERP in The SOUTHERN SURVIVAL
“This vehicle will get you out of mud, snow, floods, anything like that. Its the ultimate escape vehicle.”
“So, when you are in water, you deflate the pressure all the way, and it kinda flattens that tire out and creates a paddle effect or whatever. Yeah, it’s freakin’ awesome. Ingenious actually.”
“No matter how many times they tried to get is stuck, they couldn’t”
…the perfect apocalypse survival vehicle
It looks almost like a Tonka toy, with comically huge tires and odd proportions. It weighs a bit less than 3,000 pounds, propelled by a 44-horsepower 1.5-liter Kubota diesel engine. It’s not fast, topping out at 28 mph (3.7 mph on water), but given the terrain it can cover that’s plenty. It comes with a 15.3-gallon fuel tank, enough to run all day, with additional fuel tanks available to let you go on truly epic adventures.

Want to drive over anything? You’ll need the Sherp ATV
Although it has a small 1.5-liter diesel engine that produces a minuscule 44 horsepower, the Sherp weighs about as much as a Toyota Corolla, so it’s just enough to get it up to its 28 mph top speed on land. On water it’ll do 3.7 mph. While not much, that’s a lot more than the aforementioned Corolla can do on water.

But Leno said one of his favorite (and scariest) excursions was the time he went off-roading with comedian Kevin Hart in a Ukrainian-made ATV called the SHERP.
West’s fleet of ranch vehicles includes 10 SHERP ATVs
In fact, other than the name change, the only thing that seems to visibly mark Kanye’s new ownership are the vehicles: an army of Ford F-150 Raptor pickups, painted an intimidating aftermarket matte black, along with a fleet of 10 imposing SHERP ATVs (also matte-blacked-out)…

The insane Sherp ATV is a machine with 4 huge tires that can also swim
Somehow, it only weighs about 2,900 lbs, or a shade more than a new Toyota Corolla, but with only a 44 horsepower diesel engine, it won’t break 30 mph on land or 4 mph on water. But most vehicles don’t have two top speeds, so we can give it a pass on that one.

Huge, self-inflating and patented tyres (1600x600x25) that actually sit proud of the front and rear bodywork mean that the Sherp can mount obstacles of 70cm plus, or possibly do a backflip in the attempt. Breakover angles, as you might have gleaned from the pictures, are pretty radical, and a simple skid-steer system means that it can turn in it’s own length.

In my humble opinion, the “ultimate billionaire gift” is in fact, a fully stocked “superyacht shadow vessel” that’s specifically designed to carry all the “toys” a superyacht-owning billionaire would want to “play with” while exploring the most remote places on Earth.

Analyzing And Explaining Kanye West’s ‘Closed On Sunday’ Music Video
Kanye West released his second music video for Jesus Is King, this time for the album’s fourth song, “Closed on Sunday.” While the song has been made popular by its Chick-fil-A reference in the refrain, the video avoided the obvious incorporation of the popular food chain. Instead, we have another Wyoming-focused setting.

It really goes anywhere. You can almost go underwater because it’s sealed.
It’s only 44 horsepower, the top speed is about 25 mph, but 25 is real fast on here in this kind of terrain. Yeah, it’s pretty neat, it’s pretty cool thin.

Are you looking for a ride that can go anywhere?
Over bogs, across frozen lakes, trudging through the woods. If you don’t want anything standing in your way, I’ve found the perfect ATV. It’s the ultimate beast for off-roading – the SHERP.

SHERP has been a great tool that has enhanced our ability to find places. To get there faster, get there safer, get there faster and take more equipment with us.

I use the Sherpa to get my staff to their place of work. The biggest advantage of the Sherpa is the safety of my staff. Knowing that you will get home safely and not walk on ice is the most important thing.
The SHERP is faster and holds more capacity than other amphibious vehicles in our fleet. The SHERP’s low ground pressure is ideal for environmentally sensitive areas where low-impact equipment is required, and Brennan is constantly working to minimise our environmental impact.
Innovations and technologies
Tubeless ultra-low pressure tires
Unique ultra-low pressure tyres are a key innovation, specifically designed for SHERP. The four tires are interconnected by a special "eco-circuit" and pumped up by the exhaust gases. Due to this technology, the wheels act as a suspension and allow the car vehicle to overcome any humps and bumps of the expedition routes. The system does not need any air compressor, so it keeps the SHERP light and reliable.
Transmission chain
Design solutions and excellent materials allow achieving a minimum mass at maximum performance of the transported payload. Unlike hydraulic motors and belt drives, a unique experience of using chain gears helps to avoid slippage and sticking on any terrain when the vehicle is driving under extreme conditions.
Eco Friendly Engine
Doosan Infracore diesel engine provides high torque and fuel efficiency with a low level of noise and vibration. The engines are adapted for work in any climate zone, which makes it possible to operate the all-terrain vehicle both in hot desert conditions or on a cold glacier. This eco-friendly, high efficient and optimum performance engine adds value to customer as well as environment.
Top quality manufacturing
Parts are made of DOCOL steel, which is resistant to deformation due to high yield strength (1000 MPa), which indicates its strength and resistance to deformation. The heart of SHERP all-terrain vehicle is the engine of the Japanese company Kubota, which has specialized in the manufacture of high-tech diesel engines for 120 years. The transmission is equipped with a manual gearbox RENAULT (JR5), which has shown its best side in terms of reliability, smooth shifting and gear ratios.
Skid steering
Side-turn steering deprives SHERP of costly vulnerabilities specific to classic steering systems. The friction mechanism employed by SHERP makes turning easier. It is equipped with hydraulic steering system, so less driver efforts are needed when maneuvering.The turning mechanism is reliable and simple.
Fuel tanks in the wheels
SHERP has 58 L (15.3 gal) fuel tanks integrated in each of the wheel disks. When all four tanks are full, total fuel capacity increases by 232 L (61.2 gal), while the internal compartment of the ATV remains available and can be used to store supplies, tools, equipment etc.
The combination of simple solutions and cutting-edge technologies is the basis of the SHERP philosophy. The concept of "amphibious" all-terrain vehicles means shifting easily from land to water without any preparations
