Performance-Enhancing ATV Gear
Prioritize categories by impact so you can get meaningful gains quickly.
Begin with intake, filter, and exhaust to boost throttle feel and improve breathing. These foundational upgrades give the most reliable gains for most riders.
Add lighting upgrades next to increase night safety. LED solutions use less power and throw light farther for better trail visibility.
Shield the chassis with skid plates, A-arm guards, and bumpers. Armor prevents costly damage so power upgrades last longer.
Need clearance? Lift kits and wheel spacers add height and widen track for control. Pair lifts/spacers with brakes and suspension for balanced control.
- Choose rider gear for your intensity, from basics to advanced protection.
- Use category pages to compare compatible products and sort by model to reduce risk.
- Track sale listings to save on combos that blend power, armor, and lighting.
| Area | Main Benefit | When to Choose |
|---|---|---|
| Intake & Filters | Sharper throttle | Start here |
| Exhaust Systems | Improved flow & torque | With intake |
| Lighting/Armor | Better sight + protection | Always pair with power parts |
Quick Power Gains: Intake, Filtration, Exhaust
Intake/exhaust tweaks usually make the biggest difference for daily trail use and chores.
High-flow air intake and filters for immediate gains
High-flow intakes and quality filters help your engine breathe. That improves throttle response and smooths delivery.
American Off-Roads lists fitment by model so you pick parts that fit. If you have questions, our team offers quick, model-specific guidance.
Exhaust Options Tuned for Torque & Tone
Select an exhaust for your style. Choose systems tuned for low-end torque if you tow or haul or prefer trail climbs.
Consider full kits that pair intake and exhaust for balanced gains and easier installs. Always check fuel mapping and keep filters clean when it’s dusty.
- High-flow intakes and filters improve throttle feel and keep delivery consistent on mixed terrain.
- Select exhausts that balance torque, sound, and legal limits for long rides.
- Use matched kits for smoother installs and predictable outcomes.
- Back up gains with good cooling, chassis skid protection, and regular service.
| Component | Key Benefit | When to Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Intake | Better airflow | Start here |
| Filter | Stable delivery | Install with intake |
| Exhaust System | Torque and tone | After intake |
Lighting Upgrades: LED Bars & Pods
A thoughtful lighting setup boosts visibility and cuts fatigue.
Choose lighting that fits how and where you ride. American Off-Roads stocks reliable LED bars, compact LED pods, and mount kits to help you install cleanly. Our team can advise on mounts, harnesses, and compatibility so your build remains clean and reliable.
LED Bars, Pods & Mounting
Pick LED light bars for wide, long-range coverage and pods for tight/technical areas. Common mounts include bumper plates, A-arm mounts, and roof brackets. Place lights to shield lenses from brush and impacts.
Night Trail Riding: Brighter Beams, Safer Runs
Match beam patterns to terrain: spot for distance, flood = near spread, combo for mixed trails. Right lighting sharpens reaction time and cuts fatigue on late rides.
Wiring Tips for LED Upgrades
Verify amp draw, use a relay harness, and secure weatherproof connectors. Keep cables clear of pinch points and carry spare fuses. Check local rules for auxiliary lights before on-road use.
- Choose efficient light bars and compact pods to limit current draw.
- Evaluate spot, flood, and combo beams for your common terrain.
- Pair lights with mirrors and skid plates for better situational awareness.
- Watch for sale bundles that include bars + mounts + harnesses.
| Type | Ideal Use | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Full-length bars | High-speed open trails | Long-throw spot/combo |
| Compact pods | Tight/technical areas | Wide flood patterns, low draw |
| Mounting kits & harnesses | Clean multi-model installs | Relay harness, sealed connectors, fuse holders |
Protect the Machine: Skids, A-Arm Guards, Bumpers
Proper armor adds confidence on rocky lines and overgrown trails.
American Off-Roads can help you choose armor and bumpers that fit your machine and the terrain you tackle most. Riders regularly see durability gains after adding full skids and A-arm guards.
Full underbody skid plate kits for rocky trails
Opt for full-coverage plates to shield the frame, differentials, and mounts. Look for recessed hardware and formed edges so the plates slide over rocks rather than snagging.
Brush guards and bumpers for impact protection
Add front and rear bumpers to deflect brush and absorb low-speed hits. Combine bumpers with A-arm guards and sliders for the broadest coverage.
- Armor is insurance: skid plates and A-arm guards shield vital parts from rocks and ruts.
- Consider UHMW for light weight or aluminum for durability based on terrain.
- Verify fitment, re-torque after shakedown, and add handguards.
| Armor | Main Benefit | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Underbody plates | Frame and differential protection | Rocky terrain |
| A-arm protection | Preserve suspension components | Technical routes |
| Front/Rear bumpers | Deflect brush and absorb impacts | Brushy and low-speed obstacles |
Get the Stance and Clearance You Need: Lift Kits and Wheel Spacers
Thoughtful lift + spacer choices can transform how your rig moves through ruts and rocks.
Lift kits and wheel spacers change clearance and track width so your vehicle clears obstacles more cleanly. American Off-Roads offers kits and spacers curated for reliable fitment across Polaris, Can-Am, Honda, Yamaha, CFMoto, and more.
Lifts for Tire Room & Belly Clearance
Lifts add belly room and tire clearance so your vehicle skims ruts instead of hanging up on obstacles.
Quality kits come with clear instructions and hardware, making weekend installs realistic with basics. After install, check torque specs after a few rides since new fasteners can settle.
Wheel spacers for stability and handling
Wheel spacers widen track width for a more planted feel, boosting confidence in off-camber sections and technical climbs.
Choose spacer thickness and lift height that complement tire size to keep steering feel and CV angles healthy. Consider firmer damping if added leverage from stance/tires.
- Pair lifts with skid upgrades to maintain skid coverage at new height.
- Verify atv utv fitment for year/trim to avoid geometry surprises.
- If you haul or tow, balance lift goals with load stability and braking performance.
| Upgrade | Benefit | When to Install |
|---|---|---|
| Lift kits | Extra clearance for bigger tires | When you need belly room |
| Spacers | Wider stance, better stability | For technical or off-camber terrain |
| Matched kits | Matched fitment and hardware | Weekend-ready installs |
Control & Comfort: Suspension + Cockpit
A well-tuned suspension and smart cockpit add-ons reduce fatigue on long rides.
Suspension tuning is the quickest route to better control and comfort, especially after adding armor or larger tires. Choose shock kits or springs matched to your terrain/load—solo, two-up, or with cargo.
Use ride accessories like seat cushions, bar risers, and protective handguards to reduce fatigue and steady steering. Minor tweaks help you hold form and ride longer without arm pump.
- Adjust damping up or down to match speed/surface so tires stay planted for better traction/braking.
- Blend small-bump comfort with bottom-out control for a balanced, predictable feel.
- Service shocks/bushings on schedule to keep handling crisp.
| Item | Main Benefit | When to Use | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shock kits | Better control and damping | After adding weight or tires | Pick valving for your terrain |
| Seat pads | Lower fatigue | All-day sessions | Look for shock-absorbing foam or gel |
| Bar risers & handguards | Improved posture and protection | Technical riding | Lowers arm pump and shields hands |
| Tire & setup | Traction and compliance | Pair with shock tuning | Match pressure and sidewall to riding style |
Our team helps pick kits and parts that match your goals without overspending on unused features. A comfortable cockpit boosts confidence and lets your personal riding style shine.
ATV Safety Gear Essentials
A smart kit of protective apparel boosts safety and confidence on every trail.
Every rider should start with a DOT helmet, clear/tinted goggles, gloves, and over-the-ankle boots. This foundation set is the non-negotiable foundation of safer riding.
For higher speeds or racing, add a roost/chest guard, kidney belt, and knee protection. These pieces cut impact forces and protect joints/torso during high-speed incidents.
Head-to-Toe Basics: Helmet, Goggles, Gloves, Boots
Pick a snug-fit helmet and carry proper certification. Swap liners/pads as they wear to keep protection reliable.
Pick goggles that seal well and stay clear. A spare pair of gloves and dry socks in your storage bag makes long rides more comfortable.
Chest guards, kidney belts, knee braces for fast riding
Layer chest and kidney protection under jerseys for airflow plus impact resistance. Knee braces help prevent hyperextension on technical trails.
Pants, jerseys, and gloves combos
Choose breathable, durable pants/jerseys. Bundled sets with matching gloves simplify buys and often save money.
- Prepare for the crash with a certified lid, eye protection, gloves, and boots.
- Upgrade with chest guards, knee braces, and kidney belts as speeds rise.
- Select breathable apparel that resist abrasion and wick moisture.

Trail, Work, Hunt, or Race: Gear by How You Ride
Choose accessories for your ride style so every outing is more capable and comfortable.
Trail builds often add LED bars, seat cushions, handguards, and a GPS mount for long runs. These items boost sightlines, cut fatigue, and simplify navigation.
Work-focused builds lean toward cargo racks, storage boxes, mirrors, and wind protection. Those pieces cut downtime and make chores less tiring for ranch and utility tasks.
Hunters value quiet exhaust options, low-profile finishes, and secure weapon or gear mounts. Stealthy colors and noise reduction help you stay undetected in rough terrain.
Race/fast riding needs stronger armor, better cooling, and advanced PPE. Focus first on brakes, tires, and cooling to keep speed under control.
- Choose pants and jerseys for climate: breathable fabrics for heat, insulated layers for cold starts.
- Balance budget: buy the highest-impact accessories first, then fill gaps over time.
- Combine high-vis gear with low-light lighting if you ride dawn/dusk often.
- For family rides, prioritize comfort and communication accessories to keep everyone enjoying the day.
