Ariel Nomad Adventure

The Ariel Nomad Tactical

Specs

Imagine hitting the trails with a machine built not just to survive but to thrive off-road. Powered by a Honda 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, the Ariel Nomad Tactical brings a raw and exhilarating driving experience. The engine, a Honda K24, is paired with a six-speed manual transmission, ensuring that power delivery stays in your hands.

This vehicle clings to the roughest terrains with 15-inch wheels fitted with BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 tires. For handling and shock absorption, the Nomad Tactical is equipped with adjustable Ohlins coilovers which give it that much-needed flexibility in unpredictable landscapes.

Driving Feel

Getting behind the wheel of an Ariel Nomad Tactical is like being in direct contact with an unbridled force of nature. While it’s street-legal, the Nomad feels truly at home on dirt roads, rocky trails, and sandy dunes. It’s less like driving a car and more like piloting a wild, yet somehow controlled, beast. Compared to other off-road vehicles, the Nomad stands alone in delivering an adrenaline-pumping ride, something close to what you might experience in a high-speed dune buggy.

This 2017 model offers no frills or unnecessary comforts; it has lightweight fiberglass seats with racing harnesses and a straightforward Momo steering wheel. It lacks rear body panels and offers just a simple soft-top instead of a real roof, but for those inclined to outdoor adventures, these won’t be missed.

Practicality Question

Practicality isn’t where the Nomad Tactical shines. It’s not a car for grocery runs or comfortable commutes. It’s a playground for the adventurous soul who craves lung-bursting speeds across the open terrain. However, it does provide an unforgettable outdoor experience, even if your significant other might raise an eyebrow or two when they see this getting delivered to the driveway.

Market Insight

This particular Nomad, put together by TMI AutoTech in Virginia, holds a clean Oregon title and has a mere 508 miles on its odometer. It’s an adventurous spirit’s dream incarnate, barely breaking in and ready to roar or leap at the slightest provocation.

For those curious about acquiring this monstrous beauty, it is listed on Bring a Trailer. Considering such a purchase? Just be ready to have some interesting conversations with both your insurance provider and perhaps with anyone asking to borrow it for their off-road escapades.

Overall, the Ariel Nomad Tactical isn’t for the faint of heart but is a perfect fit for anyone whose heart beats a little faster at the thought of freedom on four wheels.
