I can’t stand shitty suspension on my ATVs since it effects so many aspects of the ride including ride quality, handling, stability and the overall aesthetics. The good news is – like any mechanical device – the shocks and suspension on an ATV can be improved! So with that in mind, I wanted to share my insights on shock improvements you can make that get you the most back for your buck…
As a follow-up to our earlier article about properly towing your ATV, found a good article on our ATV feed about the proper method to tow your ATV if you choose a professional towing service. Check it out… How To Properly Load and Tow Your ATV As an ATV fanatic, there’s not many places better than for off-roaders than Tennessee. from Sugar Creek to Coal Creek, and everywhere in between, the area provides so many great opportunities for riders to explore and get muddy. So with ATVs on the brain, I wanted to take some time to explain the proper techniques, […]
We may be biased, but we think it’s pretty clear that ATVs are one of the most valuable inventions mankind has ever conceived of. Period. A close second would have to be the ATV attachments that have made accomplishing all sorts of tasks possible. In addition to giving the passionate riders a way to achieve the thrill they so frantically seek through dirt and mountain riding, the all-terrain vehicles can be used to do anything from mowing the lawn, and carrying heavy machinery and supplies to hauling a vehicle. An ATV alone, however, is incapable of doing these tasks independently. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. With an established marketplace for lifted off-road vehicles, theft is a real concern for ATV owners, and the unfortunately reality is there are bastards out there that take great pride in the ability to not only steal, but profit off the theft of your ATV. So If you ever have to leave your dream ATV by itself, consider the 7 […]
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 […]
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. […]
