Quick Power Gains: Intake, Filtration, Exhaust
Basic airflow upgrades usually make the biggest difference for daily trail use and chores.
Intake/Filter Upgrades for Quick Results
High-flow intakes and quality filters increase airflow to the engine. That improves throttle response and smoothes power delivery.
American Off-Roads lists fitment by model so you get parts that match your atv utv. 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. Pick torque-tuned systems if you pull heavy loads or favor steep climbs.
Consider matched intake/exhaust kits for balanced results and simpler installs. Always check fuel mapping and keep filters clean when it’s dusty.
- High-flow intake/filter combos sharpen throttle and keep delivery consistent on mixed terrain.
- Choose exhausts balancing torque, tone, and compliance for long days.
- Use matched kits for smoother installs and predictable outcomes.
- Protect gains with proper cooling, chassis skid protection, and regular service.
| Component | Key Benefit | When to Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Intake | Better airflow | First upgrade |
| Filter | Stable delivery | With intake |
| Exhaust System | Torque and tone | After intake |
See and Be Seen: LED Light Bars and Lighting Upgrades
A thoughtful lighting setup boosts visibility and lowers fatigue.
Pick lighting for your terrain and pace. American Off-Roads stocks proven LED light bars, compact LED pods, and mount kits to help you install neatly. Our team can recommend mounts, harnesses, and fits so your build remains clean and reliable.
Mounting Options for LED Bars & Pods
Use LED bars for distance and width 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 for mixed trails. Proper lighting improves reaction time and reduces rider fatigue on long night runs.
LED light installation and wiring basics
Confirm amperage, use a relay harness, and secure weatherproof connectors. Keep cables clear of 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 typical trails.
- Pair lights with mirrors and skid plates for better situational awareness.
- Watch for sale bundles that include bars, mounts, and harnesses.
| Type | Best Use | Typical Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Full-length light bars | High-speed open trails | Long-throw spot/combo |
| LED pods | Tight/technical areas | Wide flood patterns, low draw |
| Mount kits & harnesses | Clean multi-model installs | Relays, weatherproof connectors, fuse holders |
Protect Your Machine: Skid Plates, A-Arm Guards, and 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 adding full skids and A-arm guards.
Full underbody skid plate kits for rocky trails
Choose full-coverage plate kits to shield the frame, differentials, and mounts. Seek recessed hardware and formed edges so the plates slide smoothly instead of snagging.
Impact Protection: Bumpers & Guards
Install front/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 is insurance: skids and A-arm guards shield vital parts from rocks and ruts.
- Consider UHMW for light weight or aluminum for durability based on terrain.
- Verify fitment, re-check hardware torque after the first rides, and pair with handguards.
| Armor | Main Benefit | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Full skids | Frame and differential protection | Rocky trails |
| A-arm guards | Preserve suspension components | Technical routes |
| Bumpers | Brush/impact defense | Brushy and low-speed obstacles |
Clearance & Stability: Lift Kits + Spacers
Thoughtful lift + spacer choices can transform how your rig moves through ruts and rocks.
Lift kits plus spacers raise clearance and widen track 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 Choices for Bigger Rubber
Lifts add belly room and tire clearance so your vehicle skims ruts instead of hanging up on obstacles.
Quality kits include clear instructions and hardware, making weekend installs realistic with basics. After install, check torque specs after a few rides since new fasteners can settle.
Wheel Spacers for a Planted Ride
Spacers widen the track 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 firmer damping if added leverage from stance/tires.
- Combine lifts with skid upgrades to keep underbody protection at the new ride height.
- Verify atv utv fitment for year/trim to avoid alignment surprises.
- For towing/hauling, balance lift goals with stability/braking.
| Upgrade | Benefit | When to Install |
|---|---|---|
| Lifts | Extra clearance for bigger tires | When you need belly room |
| Spacers | Wider track, more stability | For technical or off-camber terrain |
| Complete kits | All parts/fasteners matched | Weekend installs with common tools |
Handling & Comfort: Suspension and Add-Ons
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 cargoed.
Use ride accessories like seat cushions, bar risers, and protective handguards to reduce fatigue and steady steering. Minor tweaks maintain posture and lessen arm pump.
- Stiffen or soften damping to fit speed and surface so tires maintain contact for traction and braking.
- Blend small-bump comfort with bottom-out control for a balanced, predictable feel.
- Service shocks/bushings on schedule to preserve crisp handling.
| Upgrade | Main Benefit | When to Fit | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shock kits | Better control and damping | After adding weight or tires | Pick valving for your terrain |
| Seat pads | 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 | Traction and compliance | With suspension tuning | Match pressure and sidewall to riding style |
Our team helps pick kits and parts that meet goals without overspending on unused features. A comfy cockpit boosts confidence and supports your riding style.
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 helmet, clear or tinted goggles, protective gloves, and over-the-ankle boots. This foundation set is the baseline of safe riding.
For faster trails or racing, add a roost/chest guard, kidney support, and knee protection. These pieces cut impact forces and protect soft tissue during fast get-offs.
Helmet, goggles, gloves, boots: dress for the crash
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 backup gloves and 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 trails.
Pants, jerseys, and gloves combos
Choose breathable, durable pants/jerseys. Glove-matched bundles simplify shopping and often lower cost.
- Dress for the crash with a certified helmet, eye protection, gloves, and proper boots.
- Add chest/knee/kidney protection as speeds rise.
- Choose breathable pants and jerseys that resist abrasion and wick moisture.

Gear by Style: Trail/Work/Hunt/Race
Pick accessories that match how you ride so every outing feels more capable and comfortable.
Trail builds often add LED bars, seat cushions, 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 farm/utility days.
Hunting builds prefer quiet exhaust, low-profile finishes, and secure mounts. Stealthy colors and noise reduction help you stay undetected in rough terrain.
Racing or fast riding calls for stronger armor, improved cooling, and advanced protective apparel. Prioritize brakes, tires, and cooling upgrades to keep pace controlled.
- Choose pants and jerseys for climate: breathable fabrics for heat, insulated for cold starts.
- Balance budget: 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.
- For family rides, prioritize comfort and communication accessories to keep the day enjoyable.
