The
Apache 2007 /TWO PLACE TRIKE
From
this model you have a choice of 2 styles, Navajo (no fairing) and the Apache Sport. You also have a choice
of power plants, the Rotax 503 air cooled
and the 582 water cooled. Two four-stroke engines are now available: The Rotax 912 and the HKS.
The
Apache Sport Trike is a revolutionary design incorporating sport
aircraft design suspension, welded 4130 aircraft steel main structure
(Back Frame), 4130 dual mast and trailing link front steering. Unlike
the tube and plate constructed trikes with their single mast, drag
struts, side support cables and bungee cord suspension the Apache
frame work will maintain it’s structural integrity for years
to come. You can enjoy years of sturdy and confident flying knowing
your trike won’t get loose and worn out.

The
APACHE frame is rugged, strong and will not get all loose and sloppy
over time as do other trikes with plate and tube construction.
The
Apache will give you years of confident
flying. This trike will amaze you. It is loaded with lots of awesome
features. The Apache can also come as basic as you would like
(see Navajo).
The
Apache provides a nice layout of gauges with room left over for your
custom needs. Here you also see the rugged yet keen design of the
Apache's front fork wheel system. You will appreciate the solid
yet responsive feel of it's trailing link suspension. The front
suspension works so well, it has survived a full front wheel landing at
60mph!!!
Dual
Steering
This option is a must for the professional instructor. Not only
does it have dual steering, it also has a throttle linkage on the
right front bar. Our steering bar is made
of 4130 steel and can be used as a step to get into the back seat;
some trike brands are too weak to do that.
Back
Frame
The
most unique quality in the Apache design is the strong and durable
welded chromemoly and steel spine (back frame). All other major trike
parts either bolts on or plugs into this fixture. This makes the
Apache less expensive to repair and easy to work on. If you happen
to have an incident while training where you might damage the trike,
most likely you will be replacing the lesser expensive parts and
not the main supporting structure.
Dual
Mast
The
dual mast design of the Apache allows for unsurpassed headroom in
the rear seat. Most other trikes will force you to bend your neck
forward so as not to hit the center mast. The pivot point of the
dual mast is mounted low, making it super easy to mount the wing.
Rear
Suspension
The
Apache features dual pultuded fiber glass rod suspension. The unique
elliptical shape offers terrific flexing of the suspension upwards
while providing no flex to the rear. Single fiberglass axles flex
rearwards and wear the tires out. Fiberglass suspension provides
soft and positive landings.
Front Disc Brake with Parking Brake is Standard
The new hyd.disc brake system for the Apache trike is..... awesome!
Dual Rear Brakes is also available. This brake system will provide smooth, positive braking while applying
just 1/2 of the pressure needed with the drum brake. If you have a drum brake or small mechanical disc brake, you can upgrade
your existing Apache. Price is $300.00. If you have the early 6"
rim front end, you will also need a new 8" rim and tire.
Spring
Assisted Mast
Sore
back? Tried of lifting a 110 lb. wing into the air?
The Apache can now be equipped with gas-assist springs to aid you
in lifting your wing up!!! No longer do you need to lift 100+ lbs.
into the air, with the springs attached you will be lifting less
than 20 lbs. While trying this out on the Mustang 15, I used just
my 2 fingers to lift it up! Amazing! If you own an Apache this is
something you can’t live without. If you are ordering an Apache
classic or sport, this option is included. We also have a retro
fit kit for you if you already have an Apache. Price for the spring assist kit is just $225.00, thats just
5 visits to the chiropractor.
Dash/instrument
panel.
The Apache dash area in either the Navajo, classic, or the sport fairing
will provide a nice layout for gauges with room left over for your
custom needs.
Front
Steering
Here you see the rugged yet keen design of the Apache's front fork
and suspension system. Its suspension (shocks) is of our own design,
made up of elastomer spring material such as used on commercial aircraft
and mountain bikes. You will appreciate the solid yet responsive
feel of our trailing link system. Best of all the whole fork assembly
is made of thick 6061 Alum. plates that bolt together. So again
if you may need parts you can replace only what you need to rather
then having to buy the whole front fork.
Pivot
Block Wing Connection
The Apache pivot block assembly has been tested to 6500 lbs. without
failure. This connection makes mounting your wing to the trike a
very easy task. Also our mast to wing connection is a terrific universal
pivot assembly and can be used on many types of trikes.
Engine
Mount
The New Apache Sport will allow you to adjust your engine angle
to offset a turn caused by “P” factor using the
innovative tie rod style sway bar mount system.
Seating
Area
The new Apache Sport offers you a folding front seat back rest,
allowing easy access to the rear seat. Also notice the 3 point harness
for the rear seat and 4 point harness for the front.
Fuel
Filler
This is a nice feature. After seeing the difficulty of adding fuel
to most trikes, we had our own tank made. This allows us to put
the fuel filler in a most accessible place.
Radiator
We have tried many radiator systems (including Rotax radiators).
We found most radiators would not hold up to the vibration the
engine delivered. We finally had no choice but to design our own.
This has eliminated the problem of radiators forming leaks and cracking
support mounts.
Electronic
Fuse Box
Our trikes that have electric start will come equiped with an electrical fuse box. This box makes it very easy to add options such as strobes
and radios. We also use only the highest quality “Keywest”
regulator.
