Mahindra Roxor
So, what’s a Roxor?







Roxors are essentially mini jeeps or classic CJ Jeep look-a-likes. They are considered side-by-sides (SXS) and you’ll see them in many of the popular ATV, UTV, and SXS magazines.
“Roxor is based on the design of the Jeep CJ of the 1960s, and Willys CJ of the 1940s.
Wikipedia
Roxors seat up to four people – so bring the family or friends along for the ride when crusing through the small town of West Jefferson -OR- on your adventure 🙂
You’ll smile every sec. of the ride when you rent a Roxor from Unseen Pass:



The Platform for Fun
A Roxor will severe as the platform for you to experience the best views and visit the neat places in Ashe County, NC.
Simply check out the pics below:










To fully take in the mountains – you need an open-air vehicle so you can enjoy the restaurants, towns, sights, and scenery. This is the reason why you see so many motorcycles, convertibles, three-wheeled auto-cycles, topless jeeps, and similar vehicles on the road in the mountains. These types of vehicles allow for a much better experience because your sight isn’t limited and you don’t feel stuffy -or- confined. The chances of you getting car sick in a Roxor are slim lol.

When you rent a Roxor from Unseen Pass, you’ll also be able to hit the road and take an adventure. You’ll be able to explore scenic locations such as Pond Mountain, WhiteTop, Helton Creek, the New River, and more.
