The ATV has gained huge popularity because of its
versatility. It is included in many different outdoor activities like racing,
hunting and camping. This has made way for many customizable features that you
can add to your ATV.
Racing ATVs look very different from conventional ATVs that
you may see in rural areas. They are usually customized with different wheels,
shocks and exhaust systems. The wheels on a racing ATV are narrower to give it
more speed and turning ability. The wheels are also upgraded to a lighter and
stiffer aluminum alloy the reduce weight and handle impact from jumps. The
shocks are one of the most important upgrades because there are many jumps on a
typical course. The shocks need to give enough to absorb impact with minimal
speed loss. They also must be stiff enough to maintain the vehicles integrity
on tight corners. Loose shocks could result in a rollover if the turn is too
tight. Many riders are constantly tweaking their shocks to find the perfect
combination to maximize their speed and safety. The exhaust is simply made up
of a more free flowing muffler and intake to move air through the engine much
quicker. This altered exhaust results in more noise output, but it can
significantly raise the torque of an ATV.
ATVs for hunting and camping are very similar overall. They
have wide tires for good off-road traction. Hunters will sometime use a
stricter muffler, so that the ATV is not so loud. Both types of ATVs will have
extra storage compartments and rails on the front and back to tie down their
gear. A large capacity fuel tank is always a good option for extended trips.
Extra gas cans are also a common on such ATVs. One of the best options to
ensure that you do not get stuck in the wilderness is a front mounted winch.
This is primarily for dragging the ATV out of deep mud or sand in case it gets
stuck. The winch cable can be fastened around a nearby tree, and it will pull
the vehicle toward the tree.
