It’s no secret that ATVs are versatile machines that have many different uses including both recreational and work-related activities. Regardless of what you use your all-terrain vehicle for, there are some essential accessories that’ll improve your overall experience. Many times, ATV accessories allow you to haul more gear and also keep you safe while you ride.

Winch

Although quads are built to tackle rugged terrain, you can still run into traction issues from time to time. Winches are worthwhile investments because they have multiple uses and you’re bound to need one at some point or another. By installing a winch, you’ll be able to easily pull your buddy and his ATV out of a ditch, haul your freshly caught game out of a hollow area to dress it, and much more. Keep in mind that your winch of choice needs to match the power of your ATV or you risk draining the battery. Winches come in either synthetic or wire options so be sure to choose one that’ll best meet your needs.

Additional Storage

Another great accessory for every ATV is additional storage space. You can often buy aftermarket storage options to increase the amount of cargo you’re able to haul but remember not to exceed your weight limit. With additional storage, you can pack snacks, water, sunscreen, emergency radios, extra clothes, and any other items you might need. This is also a good place to secure valuable items such as your wallet and cell phone. ATVs are small and don’t come with storage space on their own, so adding a cargo box can be a nice upgrade.

LEDs

When you add LED lights to your vehicle, it’ll be easier to ride at dawn and dusk with the extra lighting. It’s also fairly easy to get lost in a dark, shady forest so LED lights can help with this as well. Many ATVs come with lights but when you switch them out for LEDs, you’ll have improved visibility and longer bulb life due to less energy use and heat output.
