Newsflash – the off-road manufacturers making your favorite ATVs and SXS vehicles are held to strict, industry-wide standards that dictate how tough a machine has to be, how it needs to handle in particular tests, and how safe it should be coming out of the factory.

It's a bigger phenomenon in the mountain biking industry, but trail maintenance, upkeep, and creation are all things that need to be focused on in the ATV and UTV industry. There are so many different riding areas in North America, and many of them don't have proper trail maintenance associated with their management plan. Yamaha is at the forefront of all of these Public Lands initiatives with their Outdoor Access Initiative.

  It really is fantastic the way that ATV and side-by-side manufacturers continue to bring models with custom colors, and Honda is bringing its "A"-game.

  It is safe to say that places to ride our ATVs and side-by-sides is pretty important in the scheme of the sport of off-roading. Polaris knows this, and continues to fund ATV and off-road organizations across the U.S. providing safe and responsible places to ride through its T.R.A.I.L.S grant program. In September alone the T.R.A.I.L.S program awarded $5,000-$10,000 grants 

  It takes time to really take in all the details of a new ATV or side-by-side once it is announced. Seeing the machine in person, sitting in it, photographing it, and finally driving it allows us the time to digest the details and really get to know it. Then, letting the details dance around in our heads helps us draw conclusions about what makes the ATV or side-by-side great or.... not so great. Having

  Have you ever thought about strapping yourself to the back for a bull or horse and see how long you can hang on without getting thrown off?

If you want to experience a "good time" then go to a Professional Bull Riders show. We have

  Whenever we see these pictures of snow being "shredded" on an ATV or side-by-side it really does make us warm and fuzzy inside. It just does! We want to do this SO BAD!!! What is not to love about fresh power and being aboard an ATV or side-by-side tearing it up and making new trails! Then there are those who despite the snow have to work or get the job done no matter what, and tracks make

This annual Glamis gathering seems to be one for the record books in many ways. There are countless people who attend, most with UTV’s, of course.

  We just got back from riding the new 2020 Kawasaki Teryx KRX 1000, and what a whirlwind trip that turned out to be! I wound up driving the Teryx KRX 1000 for about 3 hours on a closed course with different obstacles to tackle. In retrospect this was a learning experience that left me with more questions than answers because of the limited time we had aboard the Teryx KRX 1000, but it did help me form some initial impressions

  We just got back from quite the ride in south Texas where we drove all the new 2020 Defender models including the Defender Pro, Defender 6x6, and the Defender Limited. All of these new 2020 Defender models proved to have some cool new features such as AC (yes you read that right), 6-foot cargo beds, pass-through under-bed storage, more power, power windows, and, most importantly, SIX WHEELS. We put

  Let's say that you have a shinny Can-Am Maverick X3, and, for the sake of this tale, let's say you want to be surrounded by music as you rip around in your Can-Am Maverick X3. You are in luck then because Can-Am and Roksford Fosgate, who makes audio systems, have teamed up to build a audio roof for your Maverick X3. Rocksford Fosgate is a premium brand, and this audio roof is no joke either.

It seems the Can-Am Defender family just grew by two more models for the 2020 model year with the addition of the Defender Limited and Defender Pro.
