What type of ATV do you need?
ATVs come in various types, each designed for a specific purpose. A few of the most common types are Sport ATVs, Utility ATVs, and Youth ATVs. Sport ATVs are designed for high performance and speed. They are often used for racing, dune, and other aggressive off-road riding. Utility ATVs are designed for work and recreation. They are typically more powerful and durable than sport ATVs, and they often have features such as cargo boxes, winches, and racks. Youth ATVs are designed for riders aged 10-16 years old. They are smaller and less powerful than adult ATVs, with features such as lower seat heights and adjustable handlebars.
What is your ATV budget?
ATV prices can vary drastically, so it is important to set a budget before you start shopping not to overspend. Financing a new ATV is a great way to make the ownership experience more affordable. Many manufacturers offer low interest rates and other incentives, and financing can allow you to purchase a more powerful, feature-rich ATV than you might otherwise be able to afford. Another option is to buy pre-owned! If you are looking to stick to a certain budget, you can check out our great selection of used ATVs right on this website.
What features are important to you?
The most common features include engine size, four-wheel drive, and cargo capacity. Engine size determines the power and performance of the ATV. Larger engines are more powerful, but they are also more expensive. 4WD gives you more traction and control on slippery or uneven terrain. Suspension travel refers to how much the suspension can compress and rebound. More suspension travel means a smoother ride over rough terrain. If you plan on using your ATV for work, cargo capacity is an important consideration. Some ATVs have large cargo boxes that can carry a lot of gear. Winches can help get your ATV out of sticky situations.
How experienced are you as a rider?
If you are new to ATV riding, it is important to choose a beginner-friendly model. Sport ATVs can be difficult to control for new riders, so it is best to start with a utility ATV or a youth ATV. These ATVs are more forgiving and easier to learn to ride. Choose an ATV with a smaller engine. Smaller engines are easier to control and less likely to overwhelm new riders. An automatic transmission is easier to use than a manual transmission, and it can help new riders focus on other aspects of riding, such as steering and braking. Independent suspension provides a smoother ride and better handling, which can be helpful for new riders. Power steering can make it easier to steer the ATV, especially at low speeds. Look for an ATV with safety features like handguards and a helmet tether.
