 Ever notice all of the really serious ATV competitors seem to run rims that seem to lack deep concave and appear covered in rivets? Perhaps you’ve browsed an off-road accessory catalog and realize that these odd-looking wheels are in fact beadlocks. In addition to typically costing more coin than a standard rim, beadlocks offer up some genuine benefits that we plan to highlight here ... MORE...

 It’s hard to believe how fast time flies—case in point, the Yamaha YFZ450. Considered by many to be the very ATV that inspired the modern 450cc racing class, Yamaha’s venerable YFZ is nearly ten years old already. Where has the time gone? In the ever-advancing realm of ATV racing, a decade may sound like a lot of time, but back in 2003, when the YFZ450 first... MORE...

 If you’re anything like us here at ATVConnection (and for the sake of your bank account, we certainly hope you’re not), then you’re not going to let a little winter get in the way of you and your riding. Sub-zero winds and gnar-gnar pow-pow are no excuse. In fact nasty weather just may be the inspiration for an epic ATV adventure. However, we’re all for ... MORE...

 While the ATV’s battery represents perhaps the greatest concern for long-term storage, a topic we covered last week, there are certainly many other factors worthy of consideration. From tires to fluids, it’s a good idea to give your ATV a good thorough once-over before laying it down for a long winter’s nap. You might even need to give her some Tobasco Sauce... MORE...

 What do you get when you combine ATVs, crazy kids, too much time and sponsorships? You get awesome videos! Check out this latest one from Devin Graham, who somehow convinces a bunch of his buddies to head out to the Utah Salt Flats, don their snowboards, and get towed behind some slick quads at high speeds. Since I'm not the one sporting salt rash all over, I can definitely say their adventure was worthwhile... MORE...

 Ever leave your cell phone out in the car for the night? Ever notice how, especially if it happened to be a really cold night, the voltage in the phone’s battery seems to have disappeared? Now imagine 6-months worth of said cold nights and it should come as no surprise that one of the most important elements of preparing your ATV for winter happens to be protecting your machine’s battery ...

 The last 11 years I have spent November in the garage prepping a race bike, followed by a week and a half of pre-running and racing for the Baja 1000. 2011 was to be no different, as I rarely have time to do anything else. An invite to a Kawasaki Intro for ATVConnection.com this November left me wondering if I could really spare the time to fly to the east coast for a few days. My uncertainty was quickly settled when ... MORE...

 After what seems like a gratuitous amount of revving, check out this latest episode of David and Goliath. In this rendition, a Polaris RZR XP 900 is pitted against the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO. Of course, it's hard to call anything that packs a 875cc engine a "David", but really, would you expect it to compete against a Ferrari? Even with the seeming disadvange of ... MORE...

 Knowing that there is no such thing as too much of a good thing, it was only a matter of time before Kawasaki doubled the Teryx’s fun and function factor with two more seats. The new 2012 Teryx4 750 comes with enough room for more friends, more help or the whole family. Not satisfied with just bolting two extra seats to the Teryx 750’s chassis ... MORE...

 Perhaps the fact that the holidays land smack dab right as the weather is its least ATV-friendly isn’t all that bad of a situation. After all, if picturesque riding were at our disposal 365-days of the year, how would we ever find time to perform maintenance, do upgrades and lust over those parts and accessories we ... MORE...

 We can’t deny it; today’s UTVs come directly from the factory absolutely loaded with goodies. However, like most things in life, if you have a little extra dough there’s always room for improvement. Being the “easily obsessed” types, we’ve dropped a lot more coin on aftermarket accessories than we would like to admit and, for that matter, more than we could ever tell our spouses without talk of lawyers and divorce papers ...

 Since 2008, Polaris has introduced a new RANGER RZR model for each and every model year and despite the slow economy, 2012 is no exception. The new RANGER RZR 570 is the domestic manufacturer’s entry designed to make the absolute most of the creature comforts of their flagship UTVs with the lower MSRP and fuel benefits of a smaller engine. Priced at ... MORE...

 Artic Cat has issued a recall for all 2011 Arctic Cat XC 450 ATVs and some 2012 Arctic Cat XC 450 ATVs, effective immediately. The issue at hand is that the vehicle’s steering tie-rod can bend, which can cause a loss of control, which obviously poses a serious crash hazard. There have only been three reported incidences, and there have been ... MORE...
