Simply put, a helmet is the most critical gear for any off-roader. You might think your UTV roll cage will protect you in the event of a crash, but we disagree. We can assure you that the metal roll cage is a good deal harder than your head, and at the very least, you will be hurting if you crack your noggin against it. Helmets save lives, and you should wear one every time you go for a ride.

Unless you have pristine sand dunes, scenic mountain trails, or vast open wilderness at your back door, as well as a dealership that offers pick-up and delivery, you’re going to need to trailer your ATV or UTV at some point. I’m going to take a moment to compose myself because I’m betting there is at least one of you out there that has all that. For the rest of us, we have to trailer our machines, and that is going to call for the use of ratchet tie down straps.

While working on an ATV or UTV can be rewarding, it can often be frustrating if you do not have the proper tools. Trying to throw a wrench at something does ease your mind’s frustration, but it may not be exactly the right tool for the job.

Off-road helmets are a must have piece of safety equipment for every rider and passenger. We all know this, too. Anyone who has ever taken a serious spill on an ATV, UTV dirt bike or other fun toy, and had any sort of contact with his/her head, can attest that helmets are truly necessary. Helmet technology has taken massive leaps forward in safety lately. The Multi-Impact Protection System, or MIPS system was adapted by most of the manufacturers, but some have looked to surpass it, looking for ways to offer more protection. One of the latest helmets to offer extended protection is the new Fly Racing Formula Carbon Fiber helmet. We’ve been testing one for a while now and feel it is one of the best carbon fiber helmets you can buy.

Whether you’re riding a utility ATV with a single-lever brake system, a machine with independent front and rear brakes, or even a UTV with a single brake pedal, there will come a time during your ownership, that you will need to do some maintenance on your brake system. One thing that you need to check often is the ATV brake fluid levels in your reservoirs. Disc brakes, which are found on most current ATVs and UTVs, are essentially hydraulic systems that operate by a plunger increasing the pressure on the brake fluid. This pressure forces the pistons inside the brake caliper to push the brake pads onto the disc and bring your machine to a stop.
