New site is resource for accurate information; encourages enthusiast and industry support.
Yamaha's Rhino safety recommendations and guidelines, which are posted on TruthAboutRhino.com, include:
- Drivers must be 16 years or older and have a valid motor vehicle license. Children under 16 should never drive a Rhino.
- To ride in a Rhino, a passenger must be tall enough to place both feet flat on the floorboard with his or her back against the seat back and be able to reach the passenger hand holds.
- Driver and passenger should always wear seatbelts and protective gear/clothing including: Helmet, Eye protection, Gloves, Over-the-ankle boots, Long sleeves and Long pants.
- Drivers and passengers should stay completely inside the vehicle at all times.
- Rhinos are designed for off-road use only. They should never be operated on public roads or paved surfaces.
- As with any motor vehicle, safety features are no substitute for driving responsibly. Avoid aggressive or reckless use of the Rhino.
- For more safety recommendations, please check out the Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle Association web site at: www.ROHVA.org.
Some customer and fan feedback is also already posted on the site, including a video compilation from the most recent Rhino Rally in Glamis. Yamaha plans to update the site on a regular basis with more news, fun events, photos, videos and comments from the public.
"Rhino customers are our biggest supporters and the most enthusiastic about SxS vehicles and Yamaha," Nessl says. "We look forward to their feedback on the TruthAboutRhino."
