What's the ground clearance on the Steyr-Puch Halflinger and how does it handle off-road?

Question

Accepted Answer

The Steyr-Puch Haflinger 700AP rides about 240 mm—roughly 9.4 inches—off the ground. That’s nearly Jeep-TJ territory, but the real magic is how it uses that clearance: portal axles give extra lift without big tires, and at only 635 kg it has incredibly low ground pressure, so it’ll walk over soft sand or snow that would bog a heavier 4×4. Add front and rear diff-locks plus a narrow 1.3-metre track and you can thread between boulders or through deep ruts that leave wider rigs stuck. It’s slow (top speed ~77 km/h), but for technical trails it’s tough to beat. Want to see some similar go-anywhere classics currently listed?
