ATV Performance Upgrade Guide
Sort upgrades by impact so you can get meaningful gains quickly.
Start with intake, filters, and exhaust to boost throttle feel and improve breathing. These high-impact parts consistently deliver gains for most riders.
Add lighting upgrades next to see better after dark. LED solutions draw less current and push light farther for better trail visibility.
Protect the chassis with skid plates, A-arm guards, and bumpers. Armor prevents costly damage so power upgrades last longer.
Need more clearance? Lift kits and wheel spacers add height and widen track for control. Pair those changes with brakes and suspension for balanced control.
- Select rider gear that matches how hard you ride, from basics to advanced guards.
- Use category pages to compare compatible products and parts by model to reduce risk.
- Track sale listings to save on bundles that combine power, protection, and lighting.
| Category | Main Benefit | When to Shop |
|---|---|---|
| Intake/Filters | Better throttle response | Start here |
| Exhaust | Improved flow & torque | With intake |
| Lighting & Armor | Better sight + protection | Always pair with power parts |
Power & Throttle: Intake, Filters, Exhaust
Simple breathing upgrades usually make the biggest difference for everyday riding and trail work.
Intake/Filter Upgrades for Quick Results
High-flow intakes and quality filters increase airflow to the engine. 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 systems tuned for torque and sound
Choose an exhaust to match your riding. Choose systems tuned for low-end torque 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 intake/filter combos sharpen throttle and consistent power on varied terrain.
- Select exhausts that balance torque, sound, and legal limits for long days.
- Pick matched kits for easier installs and predictable outcomes.
- Back up gains with good cooling, underbody protection, and routine maintenance.
| Component | Key Benefit | When to Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Air Intake | More airflow | Start here |
| Air Filter | Consistent delivery | With intake |
| Exhaust | Torque & sound | Post-intake |
See and Be Seen: LED Light Bars and Lighting Upgrades
Smart lighting choices boosts visibility and lowers fatigue.
Pick lighting for your terrain and pace. American Off-Roads stocks reliable LED bars, compact LED pods, and mounting kits to help you install neatly. Our team can recommend mounts, harnesses, and fits so your build stays tidy and reliable.
LED Bars, Pods & Mounting
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. Place lights to shield lenses from brush and impacts.
Night Trail Riding: Brighter Beams, Safer Runs
Match beam patterns to terrain: spot for distance, flood for close spread, combo = mixed routes. Right lighting sharpens reaction time and reduces rider fatigue on late rides.
LED light installation and wiring basics
Confirm amperage, use a wiring harness with a relay, and use weatherproof connectors. Route cables away from pinch points and carry spare fuses. Verify local rules for auxiliary lighting.
- Pick efficient bars and compact pods to limit current draw.
- Evaluate spot, flood, and combo beams for your common terrain.
- Pair lighting with mirrors and skid protection for better situational awareness.
- Watch for sale bundles that include bars, mounts, and harnesses.
| Type | Ideal Use | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Full-length light bars | Fast, open trails | Long throw spot or combo beams |
| LED pods | Tight technical sections | Wide flood, low draw |
| Mounting kits & harnesses | Clean installs across models | Relay harness, sealed connectors, fuse holders |
Protect the Machine: Skids, A-Arm Guards, Bumpers
A rugged underbody package builds confidence on rocks 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 installing full underbody kits and A-arm guards.
Full-Coverage Skids for Rough Terrain
Opt for full-coverage plates to shield the frame, differentials, and mounts. Seek 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 broadest coverage.
- Armor acts like insurance: skids and A-arm guards protect critical components.
- Consider UHMW for light weight or aluminum for durability based on terrain.
- Verify fitment, re-torque after shakedown, and add handguards.
| Armor | 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 | Brushy and low-speed obstacles |
Get the Stance and Clearance You Need: Lift Kits and Wheel Spacers
Thoughtful lift + spacer choices can improve line choice through ruts and rocks.
Lift kits and wheel spacers change clearance and track width so your vehicle clears obstacles more cleanly. 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 hanging up on obstacles.
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 sections 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 added leverage from stance/tires.
- 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 geometry surprises.
- If you haul or tow, balance lift goals with load stability and braking performance.
| Upgrade | Main Benefit | When to Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Lifts | Extra clearance for bigger tires | When you need belly room |
| Wheel spacers | Wider stance, better stability | For off-camber/technical routes |
| Complete kits | Matched fitment and hardware | 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 fastest way to improve control and comfort, especially after adding weight or bigger tires. Pick shock kits/springs matched to your terrain and load—solo, two-up, or with cargo.
Add seat cushions, bar risers, and handguards to reduce fatigue and steady steering. Minor tweaks help you hold form and ride longer without arm pump.
- Stiffen or soften damping 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 chassis.
- Service shocks/bushings on schedule to keep handling crisp.
| Item | Benefit | When to Use | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shock kits | Improved control/damping | Post weight/tire changes | Pick valving for your terrain |
| Seat pads | Lower fatigue | All-day sessions | Look for shock-absorbing foam or gel |
| Risers & hand guards | Improved posture and protection | Technical riding | Lowers arm pump and shields hands |
| Tire setup | Traction and compliance | Pair with shock tuning | Match pressure and sidewall to riding style |
Our team helps pick kits and parts that match your goals without overspending on unused features. A comfy cockpit boosts confidence and lets your personal riding style shine.
Essential Rider Gear: Safety + Style
The right 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 foundation set is the non-negotiable foundation of safe riding.
For higher speeds or racing, add a roost/chest guard, kidney belt, and knee braces. 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 carry proper certification. Replace liners and pads when worn to maintain protection.
Pick goggles that seal well and stay clear. A backup gloves and dry socks in your storage bag makes long rides more comfortable.
Torso & Knee Protection for Speed
Wear chest/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.
- Dress for the crash with a certified lid, goggles, hand protection, and proper boots.
- Upgrade with chest guards, knee braces, and kidney belts as speeds rise.
- Select breathable apparel that resist abrasion and wick moisture.

Gear by Style: Trail/Work/Hunt/Race
Pick accessories that match how you ride 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 cut downtime and make chores less tiring for farm/utility days.
Hunting builds prefer quiet exhaust, low-profile finishes, and secure mounts. Stealthy colors and noise reduction 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 for cold starts.
- Balance spend: buy the highest-impact accessories first, then fill gaps over time.
- Mix visibility gear with low-light lighting if you often start at dawn or return at dusk.
