ISUZU D-MAX ARCTIC TRUCKS AT35 'BASECAMP' DEPLOYED WITH BFGOODRICH AT RED BULL HARDLINE
Basecamp shows off expedition-ready features, including tent and kitchen sink!
Isuzu’s show special D-Max Arctic Trucks AT35, codenamed Basecamp, was recently deployed at Red Bull Hardline, the world's gnarliest downhill mountain bike race, which returned for the eighth time to Wales' Dyfi Valley.
The expedition-ready Isuzu D-Max Arctic Trucks AT35 Basecamp, which is built to conquer all types of landscapes, embodies the extreme adventure nature of the Red Bull Hardline event. The Red Bull course, which pits thirty of the world's best and bravest racers against a series of huge jumps, boulder drops and a freeride section, was held for the eighth time in Wales' Dyfi Valley and won by Canadian rider Jackson Goldstone.
Isuzu's Basecamp is exceptionally rugged and capable, with a long list of features including (but not limited to) a lightweight iKamper rooftop tent, a black aluminium Gearmate hardtop canopy and a roof-mounted ARB Base Rack system. Inside the load bed, the vehicle is equipped with an ARB Outback Solutions modular roller drawer system, incorporating a fridge unit and a slide-out kitchen unit, which includes a 3-burner gas stove and a 12-litre collapsible sink.
Finishing off the extreme pick-up are 17-inch wheels accompanied by whopping 35-inch mud-terrain tyres. Combined with the sleek Obsidian Grey and black colour scheme, the show-special Basecamp is not just a culmination of extreme outdoor adventure, but it is also a testament to Isuzu UK's emergence in the lifestyle pick-up sector.
Arctic Trucks Managing Director, Peter Smith, said
“Basecamp really lived up to its name here! As the most extreme downhill mountain biking event of its kind, Red Bull Hardline presents a demanding challenge, not only for the riders and their bikes but also for the support vehicles. Our extensive re-engineering of the D-Max AT35s body, frame, suspension and drivetrain, combined with the additional equipment, ensured it tackled the mountainous terrain and changeable surface conditions with comfort and ease; providing a perfect base of operations for the entire event, wherever support was needed, up or down the mountain.”
