Add Some Stylish Flair with Paint and Decals
You can transform every trail ride into a fashion show by giving your ATV a custom look! This is a great way to showcase your personality and stand out from the crowd. A fresh paint job is the perfect place to start, and you can decorate your ATV with decals for a creative touch. Choose logos and graphics from your favorite powersports brands and dealers, or design your own custom decal to express your personal style.
Light Up with an LED Setup
LED light bars provide a much more powerful and efficient light source than your ATV’s standard bulb lights. This is an easy upgrade that enhances your safety and visibility while giving your ATV a more unique appearance. You can even build a custom setup that caters to your specific needs, whether you want to see farther up the trail or get some extra peripheral vision.
Shield Yourself from Wind and Debris
An ATV windshield is another great accessory that adds to your safety. Windshields can serve to reduce drag, lessen fatigue and muscle strain, protect you from the elements, and deflect dirt and debris kicked up from the trail ahead. A windshield really comes in handy if you plan on doing any riding in wet weather!
Install Custom Tires for Better Traction
Your ATV is a powerful machine overall, but your tires are the real MVP when it comes to off-road performance. Most ATVs come standard with all-purpose tires designed to deliver good traction on a variety of terrain types. If you have a preferred terrain type, you will probably want to swap out your stock tires for a more specialized set. If you love nothing more than splashing through the muck, opt for mud tires. For powering over dunes, sand tires are your best bet.
Get Cozy with More Comfortable Seating
Riding your ATV is a full-body workout, and riding all day can leave you feeling sore and exhausted. Thankfully, there are many custom seats, covers, and backrests available that are designed to enhance your comfort on long rides. Some seats upgrades give you a more ergonomic riding position, while others simply provide more cushion. Some can even be paired with a passenger seat.
Add a Cargo Box for Storing Gear and Supplies
If you use your ATV for camping or utility work, a cargo box is an absolute must-have. Your cargo box gives you the option of packing tools, hunting and camping gear, food and water, and emergency supplies. Most cargo boxes can be locked with a key for security and peace of mind.
