ATV Performance Upgrade Guide
Sort performance categories by impact so you can build upgrades that matter fast.
Kick off with intake/filtration and exhaust to sharpen throttle response and enhance airflow. These foundational upgrades give the most reliable gains for most riders.
Add lighting upgrades next to see better after dark. LED solutions use less power and push light farther for better trail visibility.
Guard the chassis using skid plates, A-arm guards, and bumpers. Armor prevents costly damage so power gains are preserved.
Need clearance? Lift kits and wheel spacers add height and widen track for control. Pair lifts/spacers with brakes and suspension for predictable control.
- Choose rider gear for your intensity, from basic protection to advanced protection.
- Leverage category pages to compare compatible parts and parts by model to reduce risk.
- Track sale listings to save on bundles that blend power, armor, and lighting.
| Area | Primary Benefit | When to Shop |
|---|---|---|
| Intake/Filters | Better throttle response | First upgrade |
| Exhaust | Better flow and torque | Alongside intake |
| Lighting & Armor | Better sight + protection | Always pair with power parts |
Boost Power and Throttle Response: Intake, Filters, and Exhaust Upgrades
Intake/exhaust tweaks often deliver the most noticeable improvements for everyday riding and trail work.
High-Flow Intakes & Filters for Fast Gains
High-flow intakes and quality filters help your engine breathe. 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 responds with model-correct guidance.
Exhaust Options Tuned for Torque & Tone
Select an exhaust for your style. Choose systems tuned for low-end torque if you pull heavy loads or prefer trail climbs.
Consider full kits that pair intake and exhaust for balanced results and simpler installs. Always check fuel mapping and keep filters clean when it’s dusty.
- 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, underbody protection, and regular service.
| Part | Key Benefit | When to Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Intake | More airflow | Start here |
| Filter | Consistent delivery | With intake |
| Exhaust System | Torque & sound | Post-intake |
See and Be Seen: LED Light Bars and Lighting Upgrades
Smart lighting choices improves visibility and reduces on-trail 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 advise on mounts, harnesses, and compatibility so your build stays tidy and reliable.
LED light bars, pods, and mounting options
Pick LED light bars for wide, long-range coverage and pods for tight spots. Common mounts include bumper plates, A-arm mounts, and roof brackets. Plan placement to protect lenses from brush and strikes.
Night Trail Riding: Brighter Beams, Safer Runs
Match beams to terrain: spot = distance, flood for close spread, combo = mixed routes. Proper lighting improves reaction time and cuts fatigue on long night runs.
Wiring Tips for LED Upgrades
Verify amp draw, 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.
- Choose efficient light bars and compact pods to limit current 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.
| Type | Best Use | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Full-length bars | Fast, open trails | Long throw spot or combo beams |
| Compact 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
A rugged underbody package adds confidence on rocky lines and overgrown trails.
American Off-Roads can help you choose 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
Choose full-coverage plate kits 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: 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-torque after shakedown, and add handguards.
| Item | Main Benefit | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Underbody plates | Frame and differential protection | Rocky trails |
| A-arm guards | Protect suspension parts | Technical routes |
| Front/Rear bumpers | Deflect brush and absorb impacts | Brush/low-speed impacts |
Stance & Clearance: Lifts and Spacers
A small lift with well-matched spacers can improve line choice through ruts and rocks.
Lift kits plus 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.
Lifts for Tire Room & Belly Clearance
Lifts add belly room and tire clearance so your vehicle glides over ruts instead of high-centering.
Quality kits come with 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 stronger damping if wider stance or taller tires add leverage.
- Combine lifts with skid upgrades to keep underbody protection at the new ride 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 | Main Benefit | When to Install |
|---|---|---|
| Lift kits | More clearance for larger tires | When you need belly room |
| Spacers | Wider stance, better stability | For technical or off-camber terrain |
| Complete kits | All parts/fasteners matched | Weekend-ready installs |
Control, Comfort, and Handling: Suspension and Ride Accessories
Good suspension tuning plus cockpit tweaks reduce fatigue on long rides.
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/load—solo, two-up, or with cargo.
Use ride accessories like seat cushions, bar risers, and protective handguards to reduce fatigue and steady steering. 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 traction and braking.
- Blend small-bump comfort with bottom-out control for a balanced, predictable chassis.
- Service shocks/bushings on schedule to keep handling crisp.
| Item | Main Benefit | When to Fit | Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shock kits | Improved control/damping | Post weight/tire changes | Pick valving for your terrain |
| Seat cushions | Reduced rider fatigue | All-day sessions | Look for shock-absorbing foam or gel |
| Bar risers & handguards | Posture + hand protection | Tech trails | Lowers arm pump and shields hands |
| Tire setup | Grip + compliance | Pair with shock tuning | Match pressure and sidewall to riding style |
Our team helps pick kits and parts that meet goals without overspending on unused features. A comfortable cockpit boosts confidence and lets your personal riding style shine.
Essential Rider Gear: Safety + Style
A smart kit of protective apparel boosts safety and confidence on every trail.
Every rider should start with a DOT-approved helmet, clear/tinted goggles, protective gloves, and over-the-ankle boots. This basic set is the non-negotiable foundation of safe riding.
For higher speeds or racing, add a chest guard, kidney belt, and knee braces. These pieces reduce impact forces and protect soft tissue during high-speed incidents.
Dress the Core: Helmet/Goggles/Gloves/Boots
Pick a snug-fit helmet and meet approved safety standards. Replace liners and pads when worn 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
Wear chest/kidney protection under jerseys for airflow plus impact resistance. Knee braces help prevent hyperextension on technical sections.
Pants, jerseys, and gloves combos
Choose breathable, durable pants/jerseys. Bundled sets with matching gloves simplify buys and often lower cost.
- Dress for the crash with a certified helmet, goggles, gloves, and boots.
- Add chest/knee/kidney protection as speeds rise.
- Choose breathable pants and jerseys that resist tears and wick moisture.
- Favor high-visibility accents and reflective elements for dusk rides.
- Fit matters—proper sizing reduces fatigue and improves control.
| Gear | Benefit | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Certified helmet | Protects head | Every ride |
| Torso protection | Impact & torso shielding | Fast or aggressive trails |
| Pants & Jersey | Comfort and abrasion resistance | Long rides |
American Off-Roads encourages prioritizing protective gear that matches their speed, terrain, and experience level.

Build by Use: Trails, Work, Hunt, Race
Pick accessories that match how you ride 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 builds favor racks, storage, mirrors, and wind protection. Those pieces reduce downtime and ease chores for ranch and utility tasks.
Hunters value quiet exhaust options, low-profile finishes, and secure weapon or gear mounts. Low-viz colors and sound control help you remain discreet in rough country.
Race/fast riding needs stronger armor, better cooling, and advanced PPE. Prioritize brakes, tires, and cooling upgrades to keep pace controlled.
- Match apparel to climate: breathables for heat, insulated layers for cold starts.
- Balance budget: start with high-impact accessories, then fill gaps over time.
- Combine high-vis gear with low-light lighting if you ride dawn/dusk often.
- For family rides, prioritize comfort and communication accessories to keep everyone enjoying the day.
| Style | Top Accessories | Why it Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Trail | LEDs, cushion, guards | Comfort + night sight |
| Utility | Racks/storage/mirrors | Efficiency + less fatigue |
| Hunting | Quiet exhaust + stealth mounts | Discretion + secure carry |
