| Lighting/Armor | Better sight + protection | Always pair with power parts |
Power & Throttle: Intake, Filters, Exhaust
Intake/exhaust tweaks often deliver the most noticeable improvements for everyday riding and trail work.
High-Flow Intakes & Filters for Fast Gains
Quality filters and high-flow intakes increase airflow to the engine. That improves throttle response and smooths delivery.
American Off-Roads shows model-by-model fitment so you pick parts that fit. If you have questions, our team offers quick, model-specific guidance.
Exhaust Options Tuned for Torque & Tone
Choose an exhaust to match your riding. Pick torque-tuned systems if you pull heavy loads or favor steep climbs.
Consider full kits that pair intake and exhaust for balanced results and simpler installs. Verify fuel mapping and keep filters clean in dusty conditions.
- High-flow intake/filter combos sharpen throttle and keep delivery consistent on mixed terrain.
- Choose exhausts balancing torque, tone, and compliance for long rides.
- Use matched kits for smoother installs and predictable outcomes.
- Back up gains with good cooling, chassis skid protection, and routine maintenance.
| Part | Primary Benefit | When to Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Intake | More airflow | Start here |
| Filter | Consistent delivery | With intake |
| Exhaust | Torque and tone | Post-intake |
See & Be Seen: LED Lighting
Smart lighting choices 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 mount kits to help you install cleanly. Our team can recommend mounts, harnesses, and fits so your build stays tidy and reliable.
LED Bars, Pods & Mounting
Use LED bars for distance and width and pods for tight spots. Mounts vary—front bumper plates, A-arm mounts, and roof brackets are common choices. Place lights to shield lenses from brush and impacts.
Night Riding: Beam Choices for Safety
Match beam patterns to terrain: spot for distance, flood = near spread, combo = mixed routes. Proper lighting improves reaction time and reduces rider fatigue on late rides.
LED Install & Wiring Basics
Verify amp draw, use a relay harness, and secure weatherproof connectors. Route cables away from pinch points and keep spare fuses in your tool kit. Verify local rules for auxiliary lighting.
- Choose efficient light bars and compact pods to save battery draw.
- Assess spot/flood/combo for your common terrain.
- Pair lighting with mirrors and skid protection for full situational awareness.
- Look for bundles that include bars + mounts + harnesses.
| Option | Ideal Use | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Full-length bars | Fast, open trails | Long throw spot or combo beams |
| Compact pods | Tight/technical areas | Wide flood patterns, low draw |
| Mount kits & harnesses | Clean installs across models | Relay harness, sealed connectors, fuse holders |
Protect Your Machine: Skid Plates, A-Arm Guards, and 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 machine and the terrain you ride most. Riders often report major 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 smoothly instead of snagging.
Bumpers & Brush Guards for Impacts
Add front and rear bumpers to deflect brush and cushion slow impacts. Combine bumpers with A-arm guards and sliders for the best all-around protection.
- Armor is insurance: skid plates and A-arm guards protect critical components.
- Choose UHMW for lighter weight; aluminum for durability based on terrain.
- Verify fitment, re-torque after shakedown, and add handguards.
| Item | Benefit | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Full skids | Protect frame/diffs | Rocky trails |
| A-arm protection | Preserve suspension components | Technical lines |
| Bumpers | Deflect brush and absorb impacts | Brushy and low-speed obstacles |
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 raise clearance and widen track 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 come with clear instructions and hardware, making weekend installs realistic with basics. After install, check torque specs after a few rides since fasteners may settle.
Wheel Spacers for a Planted Ride
Wheel spacers widen track width 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 stronger 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 geometry surprises.
- For towing/hauling, balance lift goals with stability/braking.
| Upgrade | Main Benefit | When to Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Lifts | More clearance for larger 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 |
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. Small changes 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.
- Combine small-bump compliance with bottom-out control for a balanced, predictable feel.
- Check shock rebuild intervals and bushings regularly to preserve crisp handling.
| Item | Benefit | When to Fit | Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shock packages | Improved control/damping | After adding weight or tires | Choose valving for trail or aggressive terrain |
| Seat cushions | Lower fatigue | All-day sessions | Seek gel/absorbing foam |
| Risers & hand guards | Improved posture and protection | Tech trails | Lowers arm pump and shields hands |
| Tire & setup | Traction and compliance | With suspension tuning | Match pressure and sidewall to riding style |
Our team helps pick kits and parts that match your goals without overspending on features you won’t use. A comfy cockpit boosts confidence and supports your riding style.
Essential ATV Riding Gear for Safety and Style
The right protective apparel boosts safety and confidence on every trail.
Every rider should start with a DOT helmet, clear/tinted goggles, gloves, and sturdy boots. This basic set is the baseline of safe riding.
For higher speeds or racing, add a chest guard, kidney belt, and knee braces. These pieces cut impact forces and protect joints/torso during high-speed incidents.
Dress the Core: Helmet/Goggles/Gloves/Boots
Pick a snug-fit helmet and carry proper certification. Replace liners and pads when worn to maintain protection.
Goggles should seal against dust and provide clear vision. A backup gloves and spare 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 reduce hyperextension risk on technical sections.
Pants, jerseys, and gloves combos
Pick pants and jerseys built to move, breathe, and resist abrasion. Glove-matched bundles simplify buys and often lower cost.
- Dress 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 abrasion and wick moisture.
