ATV Performance Upgrade Guide
Sort performance categories by impact so you can build upgrades that matter fast.
Start with intake, filters, and exhaust to wake up throttle response and improve breathing. These foundational upgrades 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 clearer trail vision.
Protect the chassis with skid plates, A-arm guards, and bumpers. Armor minimizes costly damage so power gains are preserved.
Need clearance? Lift kits and wheel spacers enable larger tires and stabilize handling. Pair those changes with brakes and suspension for predictable control.
- Match rider gear to your pace, from basic protection to advanced protection.
- Use category pages to compare compatible products and parts by model to avoid mismatches.
- Watch sale listings to save on combos that blend power, armor, and lighting.
| Area | Main Benefit | When to Choose |
|---|---|---|
| Intake & Filters | Better throttle response | First upgrade |
| Exhaust Systems | Improved flow & torque | With intake |
| Lighting & Armor | Visibility and protection | Any time; pair with power |
Boost Power and Throttle Response: Intake, Filters, and Exhaust Upgrades
Basic airflow upgrades often deliver the most noticeable improvements for daily trail use and chores.
Intake/Filter Upgrades for Quick Results
Quality filters and high-flow intakes help your engine breathe. That sharpens throttle response and smoothes power 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
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. Always check fuel mapping and keep filters clean in dusty conditions.
- High-flow intakes and filters improve throttle feel and consistent power on varied terrain.
- Choose exhausts balancing torque, tone, and compliance for long days.
- Use matched kits for smoother installs and predictable outcomes.
- Back up gains with good cooling, chassis skid protection, and regular service.
| Part | Primary Benefit | Best Timing |
|---|---|---|
| Intake | More airflow | Start here |
| Air Filter | Stable delivery | With intake |
| Exhaust System | Torque & sound | After intake |
See and Be Seen: LED Light Bars and Lighting Upgrades
A thoughtful lighting setup improves visibility and cuts 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 cleanly. Our team can recommend mounts, harnesses, and fits so your build remains clean 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 beams to terrain: spot = distance, flood for close spread, combo for mixed trails. 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. Check local rules for auxiliary lights before on-road use.
- Choose efficient light 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.
- Watch for sale bundles that include bars + mounts + harnesses.
| Option | Best Use | Typical Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Full-length light bars | Fast, open trails | Long-throw spot/combo |
| LED pods | Tight technical sections | Wide flood patterns, low draw |
| Mounting kits & harnesses | Clean installs across models | Relay harness, sealed connectors, fuse holders |
Protect Your Machine: Skid Plates, A-Arm Guards, and Bumpers
Proper armor builds confidence on rocks and brushy routes.
American Off-Roads helps you choose underbody 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 underbody skid plate kits for rocky trails
Opt for full-coverage plates to protect frame, diffs, 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 absorb low-speed hits. Combine bumpers with A-arm guards and sliders for the best all-around protection.
- Armor acts like 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Full skids | Protect frame/diffs | Rocky terrain |
| A-arm guards | Protect suspension parts | Technical routes |
| 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 plus 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.
Lift kits for clearance and bigger tires
Lifts add belly room and tire clearance so your vehicle skims ruts instead of high-centering.
Quality kits include clear instructions and hardware, making weekend installs realistic with basics. Afterward, re-check torque after a few rides since fasteners may settle.
Wheel Spacers for a Planted Ride
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 keep steering feel and CV angles healthy. Consider firmer damping if wider stance or taller tires add leverage.
- Combine lifts with skid upgrades to maintain skid coverage at new height.
- Verify atv utv fitment for year/trim to avoid geometry surprises.
- If you haul or tow, balance lift goals with load stability and braking performance.
| Upgrade | Benefit | When to Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Lifts | More clearance for larger tires | When scraping is common |
| Wheel spacers | Wider track, more stability | For off-camber/technical routes |
| Complete kits | Matched fitment and hardware | Weekend-ready installs |
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. Choose shock kits or springs matched to your terrain/load—solo, two-up, or cargoed.
Use ride accessories like seat cushions, bar risers, and protective handguards to cut fatigue and keep confident steering inputs. Minor tweaks help you hold form and ride longer without arm pump.
- Adjust damping up or down to fit speed and surface so tires maintain contact for better traction/braking.
- Combine small-bump compliance with bottom-out control for a balanced, predictable feel.
- Service shocks/bushings on schedule to preserve crisp handling.
| Upgrade | Main Benefit | When to Fit | Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shock kits | Better control and damping | After adding weight or tires | Choose valving for trail or aggressive terrain |
| Seat cushions | Lower fatigue | All-day sessions | Seek gel/absorbing foam |
| Bar risers & handguards | Posture + hand protection | Tech trails | Reduce pump; protect hands |
| Tire setup | Traction and compliance | Pair with shock tuning | Tune PSI and sidewall |
Our team helps pick kits and parts that match your goals without overspending on unused features. 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, protective gloves, and over-the-ankle boots. This basic set is the non-negotiable foundation of safer riding.
For higher speeds or racing, add a roost/chest guard, kidney belt, and knee protection. These pieces cut impact forces and protect joints/torso during high-speed incidents.
Helmet, goggles, gloves, boots: dress for the crash
Choose helmets that fit snugly and meet approved safety standards. Swap liners/pads as they wear to maintain protection.
Pick goggles that seal well and stay clear. A backup gloves and spare dry socks in your storage bag makes long rides more comfortable.
Added Protection for Fast Terrain
Layer chest and kidney protection under jerseys for airflow plus impact resistance. Knee braces reduce hyperextension risk on technical trails.
Pants, jerseys, and gloves combos
Choose breathable, durable pants/jerseys. Glove-matched bundles simplify shopping and often save money.
- Dress for the crash with a certified lid, goggles, hand protection, and boots.
- Add chest/knee/kidney protection as speeds rise.
- Select breathable apparel that resist tears and wick moisture.
- Use high-vis accents/reflectives for low-light rides.
- Fit is crucial—proper sizing reduces fatigue and improves control.
| Gear | Benefit | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Certified helmet | Head protection | Always |
| Chest/Kidney Protection | Impact & torso shielding | High-speed or aggressive |
| Riding apparel | Comfort and abrasion resistance | Long rides |
American Off-Roads encourages riders to prioritize protective gear that fits speed, terrain, and skill.

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 riders often add LED light bars, a shock-absorbing seat cushion, 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 reduce downtime and ease chores for ranch and utility tasks.
Hunting builds prefer quiet exhaust, low-profile finishes, and secure 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 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.
- For family rides, prioritize comfort and communication accessories to keep everyone enjoying the day.
| Riding Style | Top Accessories | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
