A sand rail is a lightweight, off-road vehicle designed for driving on sandy terrains, such as dunes and beaches. Typically built on a tubular frame, it features large tires for better traction and stability on soft surfaces. Sand rails are often powered by high-performance engines, allowing them to navigate challenging landscapes with ease. These vehicles are popular among enthusiasts who enjoy recreational activities like dune bashing and racing. Sand rails can be customized with various features, including roll cages and suspension systems, to enhance performance and safety. They are part of the broader category of off-road vehicles, which also includes ATVs and dune buggies.
