Ways to Beef-up Your ATV
Written by admin on October 19, 2009 – 6:33 pm -With new ATV’s coming out every year, a quad that is king of the mountain one year may fall back to the middle of the pack the next year. And, of course, the more you ride and get comfortable with your ATV, the braver you are going to get and eventually reach a point when you have perfected the art of riding and run into a mud pit you can’t cross or notice that some other quads can get the jump on you.

If you want to take a corner quickly without losing much speed, depending on your ATV’s setup and capabilities, you may be able to conquer the turn by making your quad pivot around it.

Written by admin on September 4, 2009 – 9:49 pm -JC Hilderbrand, Off-Road Editor, Motorcycle USA MotoUSA spent a week in West Virginia surrounded by two-and four-wheeled motorsports. A couple days were spent riding Can-Am ATVs and a few more witnessing the MotorcycleUSA.com Snowshoe GNCC. Included in our ATV testing smorgasbord were the Outlander, Outlander MAX and Renegade lines. As we hopped from one Can-Am ATV model to the next, where the Renegade machines screamed performance, the Outlander models were conspicuously more comfortable. The suspension and seat were targeted at all-day trail riding, which is exactly what we were doing on the trail systems at Burning Rock Off-Road Park and Hatfield-McCoy facilities in West Virginia. Our sample group included the Outlander 500 EFI, Outlander... more
