Add lighting upgrades next to increase night safety. LED solutions use less power and push light farther for clearer trail vision.
Guard the chassis using skid plates, A-arm guards, and bumpers. Armor prevents costly damage so power upgrades last longer.
Looking for added clearance? Lift kits plus spacers add height and widen track for control. Pair those changes with brakes and suspension for balanced control.
- Match rider gear to your pace, from basics to advanced guards.
- Leverage category pages to compare compatible products and parts by model to avoid mismatches.
- Track sale listings to save on bundles that combine power, protection, and lighting.
| Area | Primary Benefit | When to Choose |
|---|---|---|

Boost Power and Throttle Response: Intake, Filters, and Exhaust Upgrades
Basic airflow upgrades usually make the biggest difference for common trail scenarios.
Intake/Filter Upgrades for Quick Results
Quality filters and high-flow intakes open up airflow. That improves throttle response and smoothes power delivery.
American Off-Roads lists fitment by model so you get parts that match your atv utv. If you have questions, our team responds with model-correct guidance.
Exhaust systems tuned for torque and sound
Choose an exhaust to match your riding. Pick torque-tuned systems if you tow or haul or prefer trail climbs.
Consider matched intake/exhaust kits for balanced gains and easier installs. Verify 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.
- Choose exhausts balancing torque, tone, and compliance for long days.
- Use matched kits for smoother installs and predictable performance results.
- Protect gains with proper cooling, chassis skid protection, and routine maintenance.
| Part | Key Benefit | When to Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Intake | More airflow | First upgrade |
| Air Filter | Stable delivery | Install with intake |
| Exhaust System | Torque and tone | Post-intake |
See & Be Seen: LED Lighting
A well-planned lighting setup boosts visibility and cuts fatigue.
Pick lighting for your terrain and pace. American Off-Roads stocks proven LED light bars, compact LED pods, and mounting kits to help you install neatly. Our team can advise on mounts, harnesses, and compatibility so your build remains clean and reliable.
LED light bars, pods, and mounting options
Use LED bars for distance and width and pods for tight spots. Common mounts include bumper plates, A-arm mounts, and roof brackets. Plan placement to protect lenses from brush and strikes.
Night Riding: Beam Choices for Safety
Match beams to terrain: spot for distance, flood for close spread, combo for mixed trails. Right lighting sharpens reaction time and cuts fatigue on long night runs.
Wiring Tips for LED Upgrades
Confirm amperage, use a wiring harness with a relay, and secure weatherproof connectors. Route cables away from pinch points and keep spare fuses in your tool kit. Verify local rules for auxiliary lighting.
- Pick efficient bars and compact pods to limit current draw.
- Evaluate spot, flood, and combo beams for your common terrain.
- Pair lighting with mirrors and skid protection for better situational awareness.
- Look for bundles that include bars + mounts + harnesses.
| Option | Ideal Use | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Full-length bars | High-speed open trails | Long-throw spot/combo |
| LED pods | Tight/technical areas | Wide flood, low draw |
| Mount kits & harnesses | Clean multi-model installs | Relay harness, sealed connectors, fuse holders |
Armor Essentials: Skids, Guards & Bumpers
A tough underbody package builds confidence on rocks and overgrown trails.
American Off-Roads can help you choose armor and bumpers that fit your atv and the terrain you tackle most. Riders regularly see durability gains after adding full skids and A-arm guards.
Full Skid Kits for Rock
Opt for full-coverage plates to protect frame, diffs, and mounts. Seek recessed hardware and formed edges so the plates slide smoothly instead of snagging.
Bumpers & Brush Guards for Impacts
Install front/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: skids and A-arm guards shield vital parts from rocks and ruts.
- Consider UHMW for light weight or aluminum for durability depending on terrain.
- Verify fitment, re-torque after shakedown, and add handguards.
| Armor | Benefit | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Full skids | Frame and differential protection | Rocky terrain |
| A-arm protection | Preserve suspension components | Technical routes |
| Front/Rear bumpers | Deflect brush and absorb impacts | Brush/low-speed impacts |
Get the Stance and Clearance You Need: Lift Kits and Wheel Spacers
A small lift with well-matched spacers can change how you move 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.
Lift Choices for Bigger Rubber
Lift kits create tire clearance and belly room so your vehicle glides over ruts instead of hanging up on obstacles.
Quality kits include clear instructions and hardware, making weekend installs realistic with common tools. After install, check torque specs after a few rides since fasteners may settle.
Wheel spacers for stability and handling
Spacers widen the track for a planted ride, boosting confidence in off-camber and technical climbs.
Choose spacer thickness and lift height that complement tire size to preserve steering feel and CV angles. Consider firmer damping if wider stance or taller tires add leverage.
- Pair lifts with skid upgrades to keep underbody protection at the new ride height.
- Confirm atv utv fitment for your year and trim to avoid alignment surprises.
- If you haul or tow, balance lift goals with load stability and braking performance.
| Upgrade | Benefit | When to Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Lifts | Extra clearance for bigger tires | When you need belly room |
| Spacers | Wider stance, better stability | For off-camber/technical routes |
| Matched kits | All parts/fasteners matched | Weekend installs with common tools |
Control & Comfort: Suspension + Cockpit
Good suspension tuning plus cockpit tweaks keep you fresher on long trails.
Suspension tuning is the fastest way to improve control and comfort, especially after adding armor or larger tires. Pick shock kits/springs matched to your terrain and load—solo, two-up, or with cargo.
Use ride accessories like seat cushions, bar risers, and protective handguards to cut fatigue and keep confident steering inputs. Minor tweaks maintain posture and lessen arm pump.
- Stiffen or soften damping to fit speed and surface so tires maintain contact for better traction/braking.
- Blend small-bump comfort with bottom-out control for a balanced, predictable chassis.
- Service shocks/bushings on schedule to keep handling crisp.
| Item | Benefit | When to Use | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shock packages | Better control and damping | After adding weight or tires | Choose valving for trail or aggressive terrain |
| Seat cushions | Lower fatigue | Long rides and outings | Seek gel/absorbing foam |
| Risers & hand guards | Posture + hand protection | Tech trails | Reduce pump; protect hands |
| Tire setup | Grip + compliance | With suspension tuning | Match pressure and sidewall to riding style |
We help select kits/parts that match your goals without overspending on unused features. A comfy cockpit boosts confidence and lets your personal riding style shine.
Essential ATV Riding Gear for Safety and Style
A smart kit of protective apparel keeps you safer and more confident on every trail.
Every rider should start with a DOT helmet, clear or tinted goggles, gloves, and sturdy boots. This basic set is the non-negotiable foundation of safer riding.
For higher speeds or racing, add a roost/chest guard, kidney support, and knee protection. These pieces reduce impact forces and protect soft tissue during high-speed incidents.
Head-to-Toe Basics: Helmet, Goggles, Gloves, Boots
Pick a snug-fit helmet and meet approved safety standards. Swap liners/pads as they wear to keep protection reliable.
Goggles should seal against dust and provide clear vision. A spare pair of gloves and dry socks in your storage bag increase comfort on long rides.
Added Protection for Fast Terrain
Layer chest and kidney protection under jerseys for breathability and impact resistance. Knee braces help prevent hyperextension on technical sections.
Pants, jerseys, and gloves combos
Choose breathable, durable pants/jerseys. Bundled sets with matching gloves simplify buys and often lower cost.
- Prepare for the crash with a certified helmet, eye protection, gloves, and boots.
- Upgrade with chest guards, knee braces, and kidney belts as speeds rise.
- Choose breathable pants and jerseys that resist tears 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 reduce downtime and ease chores for ranch and utility tasks.
Hunters value quiet exhaust options, low-profile finishes, and secure weapon or gear mounts. Low-viz colors and sound control 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 pace controlled.
- Match apparel to climate: breathable fabrics for heat, insulated layers for cold starts.
- Balance budget: buy the highest-impact accessories first, then add the rest over time.
- Mix visibility gear with low-light lighting if you often start at dawn or return at dusk.
- For family rides, prioritize comfort and communication accessories to keep the day enjoyable.
| Style | Top Accessories | Why it Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Trail | LEDs, cushion, guards | Comfort + night sight |
| Utility | Racks/storage/mirrors | Efficiency and reduced fatigue |
| Hunt | Quiet exhaust + stealth mounts | Lower detection, secure gear |
| Speed | Armor, cooling, brakes | Durability and control at speed |
