Choosing the Right ATV
The ATV lifestyle is fast-paced and adventurous! You might enjoy racing or trail riding, but no matter if you need an ATV for work or play, it’s important to choose the right model. Our team at Beaverhead Motorsports is here to help you navigate the buying process and find the exact ATV that’s right for you!
ATV Types
The two main types of ATVs to choose from are utility and sport models. Each category has its own perks but also caters to a specific type of riding.
Utility ATVs are the most common type, often including features like cargo racks and storage options. They’re a bit boxier in design and can be a bit bulkier, but they are great for both trail riding and work tasks.
Sport ATVs are a bit slicker in design and tend to have a better suspension system. These models are great for anyone who primarily wants an ATV for speed and agility.
ATV Sizes
Within each category, there are different sizes available to choose from. Your riding style and location often have an influence on the size of ATV you should purchase.
Compact models are a great option if you need to navigate small areas or tight trails that narrow in several areas. Also since they’re designed smaller, they are more lightweight and can be better for agility.
Larger models often have more power and storage options, and can also accommodate a passenger.
When you consider the size of an ATV, make sure to think about your height and riding style. You’ll want something you can control easily but also something that will complement how you ride!
ATV Features
Once you have an idea of the type and size of ATV you need, you can begin thinking about the specific features you want. Standard models are pretty great, but every now and then you might want something with a few extra features.
You can look for models with additional technology, better lighting, more storage, and features to accommodate specific uses like hunting or trail riding. Pay attention to comfort and the ability to customize your ATV as well.
ATV Price
It’s not the most fun thing to do, but setting a budget is an important part of the ATV buying process. Setting a hard price limit for yourself will prevent you from falling in love with a model outside of your price range.
There are many factors that contribute to the asking price, so take your time looking at options and evaluating your exact needs. This will help you get the best value for your money!
