ATV Safety During Hunting Season

Do you currently own either an ATV or UTV vehicle? These are excellent recreational vehicles that many people like to drive. ATVs are much less expensive, designed for a single person. UTVs can carry two or more people and can go through some of the most difficult terrains with ease. If you are using these vehicles when you are hunting, there are certain safety concerns that you need to be aware of. In most cases, you are going to be safe. However, there is always the off chance that you could be injured while you are hunting. Here are some […]

Spotlight On Polaris UTVs

In case you’ve haven’t noticed, I’ve got UTVs on the brain as of late (check out my article on the UTV classification).  Despite the fact that they’re pretty damned wide for trail riding, I do actually prefer having my riding partner next to me rather than behind me. So with that theme in mind, I wanted to profile one of the biggest name’s in the UTV class, namely Polaris, who commands close to 40% of the market segment, and by last count, offers some 20 different UTV models in the heavy-duty Ranger, General, and RZR lines. The Polaris UTV Lineup Going into 2018 Polaris has (10) Ranger models, (8) RZR models, the EFI […]

7 Tips To Protect Your ATV From Theft

We ATV owners are a passionate bunch, and despite a quizzical look from my girlfriend,  I treat my ATV like part of the family.  Maybe I have my priorities all wrong, but having it stolen would seriously piss me off.

So If you ever have to leave your dream ATV by itself, consider the 7 […]

Towing Your ATV Properly

Although I like to think that my ATV can go just about anywhere (including the freeway), the fact is most of the time I need to transport, and not ride my ATV to the trailheads. While many riders do live right next to the where they ride (the lucky bastards), most of our readers need to drive a bit to get the trails. So if you’re like the majority of ATV riders,  there’s a few things you’ll want to make sure to keep in mind in order to get it (and you) safely to the destination in one piece. Loading […]

What Are UTVs Anyway?

What Are UTVs Anyway?

Offroad vehicle manufacturers sure have a way of complicating things.  In the 15+ years I’ve been riding, they’ve been referred to as Off Road Vehicles (ORVs), All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs), ROVs, Buggies and “those godda#*$ mud trucks”, among other things. Now there’s a relatively new acronym in town, called them “UTVs”.  And just like the rest of you, I’m a little confused on what differentiates UTVs from ATVs and all the other 3-letter acronyms. In order to clear up the confusion a bit, I wanted to share with you the notes I’d taken on the subject on getting back from the NOHVCC conference back in August. […]
