UTV Upgrades: Key Considerations

If you’re trying to determine which UTV or Side by Side (SxS) upgrades are worth the investment, there are some important things to consider. First, you should take stock of your UTV’s stock parts and look into how they compare to aftermarket parts. Next, think about what you want to get out of your UTV and which stock parts could be upgraded or added. Some upgrades will improve overall riding performance, while others will improve safety, comfort, functionality, or entertainment. As you add more and more performance enhancements and accessories, think holistically about how everything works together and make sure they are compatible with your UTV make/model. Carefully compare OEM (Original Manufacturer Parts) and third-party aftermarket parts to determine which best fits your budget and goals.

Top 3 Side by Side Upgrades for Performance

If you’re looking to maximize your UTV performance and keep up with the competition, here are a few of the most impactful upgrades to consider:

UTV Tires/Wheels: There are many different types of UTV tires to choose from that can optimize your traction and handling for different types of terrain. Larger tires can increase ground clearance, which is important for riding through rough terrain.

UTV Lift Kit: If you upgrade your UTV tires, you may want to consider investing in a lift kit. A lift kit will allow you to accommodate large tires for maximum ground clearance. It will make your UTV more versatile and ready to tackle the toughest terrain. For even more performance gains, consider a GDP Portal Gear Lift which combines the benefits of a lift kit and gear reduction kit.
