Other than getting your clothes and hands somewhat dirty and trying not to get stuck on challenging terrain, ATV riding can be a lot of fun. While you might have to go through scenarios you have never been with an urban vehicle of any sort, the rewarding feeling you get afterwards is unmatched.
Taking about your mood, it's a lot better for your mental well-being to spend time in nature, even if it's riding an ATV. ATVs also help you get a full workout as your feet and hands are not the only ones that will move during the experience.
Parts of an ATV
Protective Bars
Every ATV no matter the number of HP it can produce, comes with protective bars. These bars are made to keep the body of the ATV and yourself safe during crashes. These components are found at almost every quad parts store in Australia and they go around the front of an ATV which means these ATV UTV parts provide protection mainly for the engine.
Engine
Talking about the engine, it's the heart of every ICE vehicle and the same goes for ATVs. It works the same as the one in your sedan or SUV and it just has fewer cylinders and it produces less power but a lot of torque for such a small unit.
Exhaust
All the power produced by the engine generates a lot of fumes and those fumes contain lots of harmful emissions. These emissions need to be filtered out in order to keep the environment and the air as healthy as possible. This is where the exhaust system comes into play and it also helps keep the the ATV much quieter even when you rev it out.
Transmission
The type of transmission a modern-day ATV has is usually a CVT which is a type of automatic transmission. But you can also find ATVs with manual transmission. Most ATVs come with an automatic transmission which makes it a lot easier to ride around in the wild.
Suspension
The suspension is what helps an ATV be so nimble and capable in various conditions be it mud, water or sand. The suspension system is made up of many components which help with steering, shock absorption and stability while improving ride comfort and handling.
Wheels
Although the wheels are considered to be part of the suspension system, these ATV UTV parts can still be in a category of their own since they're the only components that are in contact with the ground. With the right tyres you can go through any terrain and get stuck from the most challenging bogs.
ATV Accessories
Winch
What doesn't come as standard on a lot of ATVs but can help you immensely in emergencies is a winch. These emergencies involve when you get stuck on muddy terrain or on a steep hill with ruts. Winches attach to the front of your ATV and can be hooked onto a tree or around a rock in order to get you out of such a messy situation.
Skid Plate
Although protective bars provide plenty of protection for the engine, they don't keep it safe from hazards coming from down below. Be it holes on a beaten path or just stones sticking out, you should invest in a steel skid plate in order to protect the engine from any impacts coming from the ground. Some ATVs are already equipped with these ATV parts in Australia, but not all of them come with quality ones.
Gloves
Something you should get for you as a rider is a pair of gloves. But not just any gloves, make sure to go for thick hard-wearing ATV gloves that also have a grippy surface on the palm. With these ATV parts in Australia, your hands are protected from low-hanging branches flying debris and cold mornings while keeping your hands from slipping from the handlebars when they're sweaty.
GPS Mount
No matter how experienced you are and now the areas you ride in, it's always a good idea to bring a GPS device or your smartphone with you on trips in the wild. For either, you should get a holder that will keep the device in front of you securely no matter how hard you are going over uneven surfaces.
Lights
You can add some auxiliary lights to your ATV that can help you illuminate much further and wider than the stock headlights can. Especially if you go with LED lights, you can really make a night and day difference (no pun intended here) as these ATV UTV parts are quite powerful and long-lasting while being extremely efficient.
Dry Box
A dry box is a type of luggage box that can store items that aren't made to be soaked like electronics and clothes. This box goes at the back of your ATV, behind the seat and can keep whatever is inside it dry, no matter the weather conditions.
