Start Here: Pick Accessories that improve Performance, Comfort & Style
Pick upgrades that align with your terrain and frequency so each upgrade delivers clear benefits. A short plan cuts costs and produces safer, more enjoyable rides.
Match upgrades to terrain, riding style, and conditions
Start by deciding where you ride most: hard-pack, rocks, trails, dunes, or work chores. Pick rubber for that terrain to boost traction and limit wear.
Opt for adjustable shocks to raise clearance and add comfort. Install LEDs for low-light visibility, skid protection to shield the undercarriage, and stronger brakes for better heat control.

- Prioritize upgrades that address top weaknesses first: traction, suspension, protection.
- Think about how often and how hard you ride—weekend fun vs. daily duty—and choose durable options that match your needs.
- Compare install complexity and budget; choose modular solutions so you can grow the build later.
- Use AOR fitment help so parts work together and avoid costly mismatches.
UTV Upgrades & Accessories
Plan a targeted parts list built around what truly changes ride quality: protection, power & handling, comfort, storage, and visibility. AOR curates top-category parts so you can build a balanced package that fits together.
Protection starts with front/rear windshields, skid plates, and roll cage reinforcements to shield the cab and undercarriage from debris and impacts. Pick components that maintain visibility while adding stiffness.
Performance focuses on tires matched to terrain and adjustable shocks for tighter handling and better control. Add brake upgrades and driveline components for consistent stopping and responsiveness.
Comfort and storage matter on long days. Pick seats and airflow solutions for a cooler, quieter cabin. Use weatherproof, lockable boxes and racks to secure and organize gear.
- Visibility: efficient LED light bars and pods for night rides and group runs.
- Navigation and communication: rugged GPS units and weatherproof audio for route tracking and connection.
- Exhaust: consider performance systems while staying within local noise limits.
Work in phases so each step complements the last and delivers steady, measurable improvements.
Protection First: Windshields, Skid Plates, and Roll Cage Reinforcements
Protection begins with choices that keep the cab clear and vital systems safe from impact and dust. Fit model-specific items so you do not trade visibility for defense. American Off-Roads carries windscreens, skid systems, and reinforcements that fit your exact model.
Front glass for clear view and weather protection
Select a front glass built for your model to maintain a clear view while blocking wind, dust, and the elements during high-speed sections or rough weather.
For Can-Am riders, the Maverick R and Maverick X3 options offer durable builds and a precise fit that prevents gaps and rattles.
Rear windshields to reduce dust and turbulence
Install rear glass on machines such as Polaris Turbo R to reduce negative pressure that pulls dust into the cab. The proper rear panel calms interior turbulence and improves comfort for passengers.
Skids to protect the undercarriage
Pick skid systems made from high-strength materials such as aluminum or reinforced steel to protect the engine, transmission, and driveline when trails throw rocks and stumps at you.
Choose skids with service cutouts and drains so service remains simple after wet or muddy rides.
Reinforcing the cage for protection
- Add cage braces to increase passenger protection and structural stiffness when you push hard or haul cargo.
- Use corrosion-resistant mounting hardware and torque to spec so bolts remain secure through hard use.
- Consult AOR to confirm fitment and choose parts that integrate cleanly with roofs, mirrors, and harnesses for holistic protection.
Handling & Performance: Upgrades that Matter
A balanced performance plan begins with the parts that affect grip, turn-in, and braking. Pick upgrades that match your usual terrain so each part yields real benefits in control/feel, stability, and ride comfort.
Performance tires to gain grip
Start with terrain-matched tires to gain immediate grip on rocks, mud, sand, and trails. Appropriate tread reduces vibration and lowers wear on chassis components.
Adjustable shocks and kits for ride quality
Complete kits with adjustable shocks increase clearance and let you tune compression and rebound. That tuning improves stability and comfort over rough terrain.
Better brakes
Use upgraded pads, vented rotors, braided lines for a firmer pedal and better heat dissipation on extended downhills. Strong brakes preserve control when it counts.
Durable steering & sharper response
Fit heavy-duty tie rods and a quality steering wheel to sharpen handling and feedback. Check torque after hard outings to protect parts and confidence at speed.
Freer-flow exhaust systems
Free-flow exhausts can sharpen throttle. Verify local noise rules before changing systems so you stay legal and courteous on public land.
| Upgrade | Key Benefit | When to Fit |
|---|---|---|
| High-performance tires | More grip, less vibration | Trail, sand, mud, rocks |
| Adjustable shocks / suspension | More clearance & comfort | Mixed terrain, heavy loads |
| Pads + braided lines | Stopping power, heat control | Downhills or towing |
| Steering upgrades | Durability, precise handling | High-speed or technical trails |
AOR can help you assemble a balanced setup—tires, shocks, brakes, and steering—that aligns with your terrain and goals.
Cab Comfort and Air Management
A few cabin tweaks can greatly reduce fatigue and less tiring. Focus on ventilation, seating, and a simple roof or enclosure to manage heat/dust. These moves improve performance comfort and reduce fatigue on long runs.
Quick-vent Fusion Fiber Aero Latch
The Fusion Fiber Aero Latch installs in seconds with no tools and locks in firmly. It cuts dust, boosts airflow, and remains tight so you do not get rattles while riding.
Seats that support all-day rides
Pick seats with supportive bolsters, durable padding, and weather-resistant fabrics to stay planted on rough terrain. Supportive seating improves focus and reduces end-of-day soreness.
Roofs and enclosures to balance protection
Add a roof or partial enclosure to manage sun/wind/weather. Pair with vents and front glass for a calm interior that keeps noise down and comfort up.
- Fast, tool-free latch installs increase airflow and clear the cab of heat and dust.
- Ergonomic seating maximizes support and use durable materials for all-weather use.
- Pick a roof that balances airflow and weather protection.
AOR can match seats/roof/latch so each upgrade integrates cleanly and improves the feel mile after mile.
