The Quad is a four-wheeled motorcycle, more commonly known as an All Terrain Vehicle (ATV). It appears in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. It can be found in a few places in the San Andreas countryside and in Little Havana in Vice City. Due to the fact that it is made for this purpose, the Quad is one of the best vehicles for off-road driving in GTA San Andreas. It is also one of the best vehicles to use when driving up Mount Chiliad. Its suspension, however is a little wonky and coming off a jump may cause the quad to bounce side to side, causing it to tip over.

In the mission Local Liquor Store, Carl Johnson and Catalina pursue thieves running away on Quads with the money they were supposed to rob from a liquor sotre. This is the only mission where Quads are used by NPCs.

Due to its size and functionality, the Quad is often referred to as a bike. However, simply due to it having four wheels (not two) then it cannot be considered as such. It however, does have motorcycle-like physics, so the player can fall off if hitting an object at high speed or going down a hill backwards. Stoppies and wheelies can even be done on the quad, just like a motorbike. However, reverse wheelies can be performed (when on a hill), causing the Quad to tumble down backwards. Strangely, this does not cause the player to be tossed away. Just like with any bike, the player can shoot forwards as well as to the left and to the right. The GTA San Andreas rendition is based on the Yamaha Breeze and the GTA Vice City Stories rendition is based on the Can-Am Outlander.
