ATV Performance Upgrade Guide
Sort upgrades by impact so you can build upgrades that matter fast.
Begin with intake, filter, and exhaust to wake up throttle response and improve breathing. These high-impact parts consistently deliver gains for most riders.
Add lighting upgrades next to ride safer at night. LED solutions use less power and throw light farther for better trail visibility.
Guard the chassis using skid plates, A-arm guards, and bumpers. Armor minimizes costly damage so power gains are preserved.
Need more clearance? Lift kits plus spacers change stance for bigger tires and better handling. Pair lifts/spacers with brakes and suspension for balanced handling.
- Match rider gear to your pace, from basics to advanced protection.
- Use category pages to compare compatible products and parts by model to reduce risk.
- Track sale listings to save on bundles that combine power, protection, and lighting.
| Category | Main Benefit | When to Shop |
|---|---|---|
| Intake/Filters | Sharper throttle | Start here |
| Exhaust Systems | Better flow and torque | Alongside intake |
| Lighting/Armor | Visibility and protection | Any time; pair with power |
Quick Power Gains: Intake, Filtration, Exhaust
Intake/exhaust tweaks usually make the biggest difference for common trail scenarios.
High-flow air intake and filters for immediate gains
High-flow intakes and quality filters open up airflow. That improves throttle response and smooths delivery.
American Off-Roads shows model-by-model fitment so you get parts that match your atv utv. If you have questions, our team can advise quickly with model-specific tips.
Exhaust systems tuned for torque and sound
Match an exhaust that suits your riding style. 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 in dusty conditions.
- High-flow intake/filter combos sharpen throttle and consistent power on varied terrain.
- Select exhausts that balance torque, sound, and legal limits for long days.
- Pick matched kits for easier installs and predictable performance results.
- Back up gains with good cooling, underbody protection, and routine maintenance.
| Part | Primary Benefit | Best Timing |
|---|---|---|
| Intake | More airflow | Start here |
| Filter | Consistent delivery | Install with intake |
| Exhaust | Torque and tone | After intake |
See and Be Seen: LED Light Bars and Lighting Upgrades
A well-planned lighting setup boosts visibility and lowers fatigue.
Choose lighting that fits how and where you ride. American Off-Roads stocks proven LED light bars, compact pods, and mounting kits to help you install neatly. Our team can recommend mounts, harnesses, and fits 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. Place lights to shield lenses from brush and impacts.
Night riding on trails: brighter beams, safer rides
Match beams to terrain: spot for distance, flood for close spread, combo = mixed routes. Proper lighting improves reaction time and reduces rider fatigue on long night runs.
Wiring Tips for LED Upgrades
Confirm amperage, use a wiring harness with a relay, and use 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 save battery draw.
- Evaluate spot, flood, and combo beams for your typical trails.
- Pair lights with mirrors and skid plates for full situational awareness.
- Look for bundles that include bars, mounts, and harnesses.
| Option | Ideal Use | Typical Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Full-length light bars | Fast, open trails | Long throw spot or combo beams |
| LED pods | Tight technical sections | Wide flood, low draw |
| Mounting kits & harnesses | Clean installs across models | Relay harness, sealed connectors, fuse holders |
Protect the Machine: Skids, A-Arm Guards, Bumpers
A tough underbody package builds confidence on rocks and overgrown trails.
American Off-Roads helps you choose underbody armor and bumpers that fit your atv and the terrain you tackle most. Riders often report major durability gains after installing full underbody kits and A-arm guards.
Full Skid Kits for Rock
Choose full-coverage plate kits to shield the frame, differentials, 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 cushion slow impacts. Pair bumpers with A-arm guards and rock sliders for the best all-around protection.
- Armor is insurance: skids and A-arm guards shield vital parts from rocks and ruts.
- Choose UHMW for lighter weight; aluminum for durability depending on terrain.
- Verify fitment, re-check hardware torque after the first rides, and pair with handguards.
| Armor | Benefit | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Underbody plates | Frame and differential protection | Rocky terrain |
| A-arm protection | Preserve suspension components | Technical routes |
| Bumpers | Deflect brush and absorb impacts | Brushy and low-speed obstacles |
Clearance & Stability: Lift Kits + Spacers
A modest lift and a few well-chosen spacers can improve line choice through ruts and rocks.
Lift kits and wheel spacers change clearance and track width so your vehicle handles obstacles with less drama. American Off-Roads offers kits and spacers curated for reliable fitment across Polaris, Can-Am, Honda, Yamaha, CFMoto, and more.
Lift kits for clearance and bigger tires
Lift kits create tire clearance and belly room so your vehicle glides over ruts instead of high-centering.
Quality kits include clear instructions and hardware, making weekend installs realistic with basics. After install, check torque specs after a few rides since fasteners may settle.
Spacers for Stability & Feel
Spacers widen the track for a planted ride, boosting confidence in off-camber and technical climbs.
Match spacer thickness/lift height to tire size to preserve steering feel and CV angles. Consider stronger damping if wider stance or taller tires add leverage.
- Combine lifts with skid upgrades to maintain skid coverage at new height.
- Confirm atv utv fitment for your year and trim to avoid geometry surprises.
- For towing/hauling, balance lift goals with stability/braking.
| Upgrade | Benefit | When to Install |
|---|---|---|
| Lift kits | Extra clearance for bigger tires | When scraping is common |
| Spacers | Wider track, more stability | For technical or off-camber terrain |
| Matched kits | All parts/fasteners matched | Weekend installs with common tools |
Handling & Comfort: Suspension and Add-Ons
Good suspension tuning plus cockpit tweaks keep you fresher on long trails.
Suspension tuning is the quickest route to better control and comfort, especially after adding weight or bigger tires. Choose shock kits or springs matched to your terrain and load—solo, two-up, or with cargo.
Add seat cushions, bar risers, and handguards to cut fatigue and keep confident steering inputs. Small changes maintain posture and lessen arm pump.
- Stiffen or soften damping to fit speed and surface so tires stay planted for better traction/braking.
- Combine small-bump compliance with bottom-out control for a balanced, predictable chassis.
- Service shocks/bushings on schedule to keep handling crisp.
| Upgrade | Main Benefit | When to Use | Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shock kits | Better control and damping | After adding weight or tires | Choose valving for trail or aggressive terrain |
| Seat cushions | Reduced rider 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 | Tune PSI and sidewall |
Our team helps pick kits and parts that meet goals without overspending on features you won’t use. A comfortable cockpit boosts confidence and supports your riding style.
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/tinted goggles, protective gloves, and over-the-ankle boots. This basic set is the baseline of safer riding.
For higher speeds or racing, add a chest guard, kidney belt, and knee protection. These pieces cut impact forces and protect soft tissue during high-speed incidents.
Dress the Core: Helmet/Goggles/Gloves/Boots
Choose helmets that fit snugly and meet approved safety standards. Swap liners/pads as they wear to keep protection reliable.
Pick goggles that seal well and stay clear. A backup gloves and dry socks in your storage bag makes long rides more comfortable.
Torso & Knee Protection for Speed
Wear chest/kidney protection under jerseys for airflow plus impact resistance. Knee braces help prevent hyperextension on technical trails.
Apparel Sets for Trail Days
Pick pants and jerseys built to move, breathe, and resist abrasion. Bundled sets with matching gloves simplify shopping and often save money.
- Prepare for the crash with a certified lid, goggles, hand protection, and proper boots.
- Add chest/knee/kidney protection as speeds rise.
- Choose breathable pants and jerseys that resist abrasion and wick moisture.
- Use high-vis accents/reflectives for low-light rides.
- Fit matters—proper sizing reduces fatigue and improves control.
| Item | Benefit | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Helmet | Protects head | Always |
| Chest/Kidney Protection | Impact & torso shielding | High-speed or aggressive |
| Pants & Jersey | Comfort + abrasion resistance | All-day rides |
American Off-Roads encourages riders to prioritize protective gear that matches their speed, terrain, and experience level.

Build by Use: Trails, Work, Hunt, Race
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 improve visibility, reduce fatigue, and keep navigation simple.
Work-focused builds lean toward cargo racks, storage boxes, mirrors, and wind protection. Those pieces cut downtime and make chores less tiring for farm/utility days.
Hunters value quiet exhaust options, low-profile finishes, and secure weapon or gear mounts. Stealthy colors and noise reduction help you remain discreet in rough country.
Racing or fast riding calls for stronger armor, improved cooling, and advanced protective apparel. Focus first on brakes, tires, and cooling to keep speed under control.
- Choose pants and jerseys for climate: breathables for heat, insulated for cold starts.
- Balance spend: start with high-impact accessories, then fill gaps over time.
- Combine high-vis gear with low-light lighting if you often start at dawn or return at dusk.
- On family rides, prioritize comfort/comms to keep everyone enjoying the day.
| Style | Top Picks | Why It Matters |
