ABSTRACT:
An all terrain vehicle having its chassis, its front suspension, its rear axle, its rear suspension, and its power transmission shaft interconnected in a manner that allows the rear axle to rotate about both the longitudinal and a transverse axis of the all-terrain vehicle to provide increased flexibility in its rear end so that the vehicle's rear tires remain on the ground at least as long as its front tires remain on the ground when traversing relatively even terrain so that the vehicle will not transition from understeer to oversteer.
