ATV Performance Upgrade Guide
Sort performance categories by impact so you can assemble meaningful upgrades quickly.
Kick off with intake/filtration and exhaust to sharpen throttle response and increase engine airflow. These high-impact parts consistently deliver gains for most riders.
Add lighting upgrades next to increase night safety. LED solutions use less power and throw light farther for clearer trail vision.
Protect the chassis with skid plates, A-arm guards, and bumpers. Armor minimizes costly damage so power upgrades last longer.
Need clearance? Lift kits plus spacers change stance for bigger tires and better handling. Pair those changes with brakes and suspension for balanced control.
- Select rider gear that matches how hard you ride, from basics to advanced protection.
- Leverage category pages to compare compatible parts and sort by model to avoid mismatches.
- Watch sale listings to save on bundles that combine power, protection, and lighting.
| Category | Primary Benefit | When to Shop |
|---|---|---|
| Intake/Filters | Better throttle response | 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
Basic airflow upgrades often deliver the most noticeable improvements for everyday riding and trail work.
Intake/Filter Upgrades for Quick Results
Quality filters and high-flow intakes help your engine breathe. That improves throttle response and stabilizes delivery.
American Off-Roads lists fitment by model so you pick parts that fit. If you have questions, our team responds with model-correct guidance.
Exhaust Options Tuned for Torque & Tone
Select an exhaust for your style. Pick torque-tuned systems if you tow or haul or favor steep climbs.
Consider full kits that pair intake and exhaust 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.
- 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 regular service.
| Part | Key Benefit | When to Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Air Intake | Better airflow | First upgrade |
| Filter | Consistent delivery | With intake |
| Exhaust System | Torque and tone | Post-intake |
See & Be Seen: LED Lighting
A thoughtful lighting setup improves visibility and cuts fatigue.
Pick lighting for your terrain and pace. American Off-Roads stocks proven LED light bars, compact pods, and mounting kits to help you install neatly. Our team can advise on mounts, harnesses, and compatibility so your build stays tidy and reliable.
LED Bars, Pods & Mounting
Pick LED light bars for wide, long-range coverage and pods for tight/technical areas. 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 on trails: brighter beams, safer rides
Match beam patterns to terrain: spot = distance, flood for close spread, combo = mixed routes. Right lighting sharpens reaction time and cuts fatigue on late rides.
LED light installation and wiring basics
Confirm amperage, use a relay harness, and secure weatherproof connectors. Keep cables clear of pinch points and carry spare fuses. Verify local rules for auxiliary lighting.
- Choose efficient light bars and compact pods to save battery draw.
- Assess spot/flood/combo for your typical trails.
- Pair lights with mirrors and skid plates for full situational awareness.
- Watch for sale bundles that include bars + mounts + harnesses.
| Option | Ideal Use | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Full-length light bars | Fast, open trails | Long throw spot or combo beams |
| LED pods | Tight technical sections | Wide flood patterns, low draw |
| Mount kits & harnesses | Clean installs across models | Relay harness, sealed connectors, fuse holders |
Protect the Machine: Skids, A-Arm Guards, Bumpers
A rugged underbody package adds confidence on rocky lines and brushy routes.
American Off-Roads can help you choose armor and bumpers that fit your atv and the terrain you tackle most. Riders often report major durability gains after adding full skids and A-arm guards.
Full Skid Kits for Rock
Choose full-coverage plate kits to shield the frame, differentials, and mounts. Look for recessed hardware and formed edges so the plates slide over rocks rather than snagging.
Impact Protection: Bumpers & Guards
Install front/rear bumpers to deflect brush and absorb low-speed hits. Pair bumpers with A-arm guards and rock sliders for the broadest coverage.
- Armor is insurance: skid plates and A-arm guards shield vital parts from rocks and ruts.
- Choose UHMW for lighter weight; aluminum for durability based on terrain.
- Verify fitment, re-check hardware torque after the first rides, and pair with handguards.
| Armor | Benefit | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Full skids | Frame and differential protection | Rocky trails |
| A-arm protection | Protect suspension parts | Technical routes |
| Front/Rear bumpers | Brush/impact defense | 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 change clearance and track width so your vehicle clears obstacles more cleanly. American Off-Roads stocks curated lift/spacer kits 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 glides over 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 fasteners may settle.
Wheel spacers for stability and handling
Wheel spacers widen track width for a more planted feel, 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.
- Combine lifts with skid upgrades to maintain skid coverage at new 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 Install |
|---|---|---|
| Lifts | More clearance for larger tires | When scraping is common |
| Spacers | Wider track, more stability | For technical or off-camber terrain |
| Matched kits | Matched fitment and hardware | Weekend installs with common tools |
Control & Comfort: Suspension + Cockpit
Good suspension tuning plus cockpit tweaks help you stay fresh 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/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 maintain posture and lessen arm pump.
- Adjust damping up or down to fit speed and surface so tires stay planted for better traction/braking.
- Blend small-bump comfort with bottom-out control for a balanced, predictable chassis.
- Check shock rebuild intervals and bushings regularly to keep handling crisp.
| Upgrade | Benefit | When to Use | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shock kits | Better control and damping | Post weight/tire changes | Pick valving for your terrain |
| Seat cushions | Reduced rider fatigue | Long rides and outings | Seek gel/absorbing foam |
| Risers & hand guards | Improved posture and protection | Tech trails | Lowers arm pump and shields hands |
| Tire setup | Grip + compliance | Pair with shock tuning | Tune PSI and sidewall |
We help select kits/parts that meet goals without overspending on features you won’t use. A comfortable cockpit builds 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-approved helmet, clear or tinted goggles, gloves, and sturdy boots. This basic set is the baseline of safe riding.
For faster trails or racing, add a roost/chest guard, kidney support, and knee protection. These pieces reduce 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 maintain protection.
Pick goggles that seal well and stay clear. A spare pair of gloves and dry socks in your storage bag increase comfort on long rides.
Torso & Knee Protection for Speed
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. Glove-matched bundles simplify shopping and often save money.
- Prepare for the crash with a certified lid, eye protection, gloves, and boots.
- Add chest/knee/kidney protection as speeds rise.
- Choose breathable pants and jerseys that resist tears and wick moisture.
- Use high-vis accents/reflectives for dusk rides.
- Fit matters—correct sizing lowers fatigue and helps control.
| Item | Main Benefit | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Certified 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 fits speed, terrain, and skill.

Build by Use: Trails, Work, Hunt, Race
Choose accessories for your ride style so every outing is more capable and comfortable.
Trail riders often add LED light bars, a shock-absorbing seat cushion, 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. Prioritize brakes, tires, and cooling upgrades to keep speed under control.
- 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.
- 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 the day enjoyable.
| Riding Style | Top Accessories | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Trails | Lights, seat cushion, handguards | Comfort and night visibility |
| Work | Racks/storage/mirrors | Efficiency + less fatigue |
| Hunting | Quiet exhaust, mounts, stealth colors | Discretion + secure carry |
| Speed | Armor/cooling/brakes | Durability + control |
